Photoluminescent properties of Sr2SiO4:Eu3+ and Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors prepared by solid-state reaction method

Eu2+ and (or) Eu3+ doped Sr2SiO4 phosphors particles were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction technique, and their structural and optical properties were investigated.

Luminescent properties of Ca2SiO4:Eu3+ red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu3 doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions: the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm (325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm) were assigned to the f–f transitions of Eu3 . The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of 5D0–7F2. In addition, the ef- fects of the Eu3 content and charge compensators of Li , Na , K , and Cl– ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu3 ions was 0.3 mol–1, and Li ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4:Eu3 , Li was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes (WLED) based on UV InGaN chip.

Effects of crystal field on photoluminescence properties of Ca2Al2SiO7:Eu2+ phosphors

A series of single-phased Ca₂Al₂SiO₇:Eu²⁺ phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction.

The relative intensities of the blue and green emission changed with Eu²⁺ concentration and were sensitive to the excitation wavelength. The unique photoluminescence property originated from the 4f⁷→4f⁶5d transition of Eu²+ at different energy levels, on which the effect of the crystal field strength was con-sidered to be tailed by adjusting the host composition.

Preparation and luminescent properties of CaAl_2O_4:Eu~(3+),R~+(R=Li,Na,K) phosphors

CaAl2O4:Eu3+,R+(R=Li+,Na+,K+) red phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction method.X-ray diffraction(XRD) and photoluminescence(PL) were employed to characterize their structural and luminescent properties.It was found that the optimal sintering temperature and sintering time were 1200 °C and 4 h,respectively.The optimal concentration of doped Eu3+ was 3 mol.%.Furthermore,under ultraviolet excitation with a wavelength of 254 nm,these samples showed red luminescence which were probably attributed to the transitions from 5D0 excited state to 7FJ(J=0-4) ground states of Eu3+ ions.The feature and the high intensity of hypersensitive transition from 5D0→7F2 indicated that Eu3+ preferred to occupy a low symmetry site.The incorporation of alkali metal ions greatly enhanced the luminescence intensity probably due to the influence of charge compensation of alkali metal ions.     

Properties of red-emitting phosphors Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ prepared by gel-combustion method assisted by microwave

Novel red-emitting phosphors Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ were prepared by gel-combustion method assisted by microwave. The phase struc-ture and luminescent properties of as-synthesized phosphors were investigated by XRD and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The results showed that the as-synthesized sample was Sr2MgSi2O7 with tetragonal crystal structure. The excitation spectrum of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ was composed of two major parts: one was the broad band between 200 and 350 nm, which belonged to the charge transfer of Eu3+-O2-; the other consisted of a series of sharp lines between 350 and 450 nm, ascribed to the f-f transition of Eu3+. The emission spec-trum consisted of two emission peaks at 593 and 616 nm, which was attributed to 5D0→7F1 and 5D0→7F2 of Eu3+, respectively. The concen-tration of Eu3+ (x) had great effect on the emission intensity of Sr2-xMgSi2O7:Eu3+x. When x varied in the range of 0.04-0.18, the intensity of emission peaks at 593 and 616 nm increased gradually with the concentration of Eu3+ increasing. It was interesting that no concentration quenching occurred. Moreover, the luminescent intensity could be greatly enhanced with incorporation of charge compensator Li+ ions.

The results showed that the co-doping of La and Y could greatly enhance the fluorescence intensity of Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors. The optimum doping concentration expressed by the x value in (Ba0.985-1.5xREx)2SiO4: 0.03Eu2+ (RE=La or Y) was determined to be of 0.05. The excitation and emission peaks of all as-synthesized phosphors were wide bands. The excitation bands ranged from 250 to 400 nm, which matched well with the wavelength of near ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes (LED) chip and could be used as a potential candidate for the fabrication of white LED. The emission bands from 450 to 550 nm were typical 5d-4f transition emission of Eu2+ and displayed un-symmetry profiles because of the two substitution sites of Ba2+ with Eu2+.
