Lithium solubility limit in ZnGa2O4:Bi0.0013+,Li+ phosphor

The lithium solubility limit, photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) properties of lithium ion co-activated ZnGa₂O₄:Bi³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor have been investigated. A LiGaO₂ second phase began to appear from 3 mol% Li⁺ ion co-activated ZnGa₂O₄:Bi³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor. The enhanced brightness of blue (λ_ex = 254 nm) and white (λ_ex = 315 nm) colors of bismuth ions doped ZnGa₂O₄:Bi³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor was assigned to the formation of LiGaO₂. Bi³⁺ activated lithium zinc gallate phosphor showed a more enhanced PLE peak around 315 nm than that of lithium zinc gallate phosphor when λ_em = 520 nm. Thus, we observed that the PL intensity of ZnGa₂O₄:Bi³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor with λ_em = 520 nm was much greater than that of ZnGa₂O₄:Li⁺ phosphor. Also, ZnGa₂O₄:Bi³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor exhibited a shorter decay time than that of ZnGa₂O₄:Li⁺ phosphor by about a factor of about 2.

Redox properties of a green emitting ZnGa2O4:Mn low voltage cathodoluminescent phosphor

The emission properties of ZnGa₂O₄:Mn phosphors have been compared for samples prepared via an oxalate gel route and those prepared via a conventional solid synthetic route. The firing conditions were found to be critical for obtaining good emission on account of possible redox processes involving both the Mn²⁺ activator ion and the host ZnGa₂O₄ lattice itself. An interesting reversible shift was observed for the CIE coordinates of the cathodoluminescence when the energy of the exciting electron beam was varied. This is explained by increased vibronic excitation of the ZnGa₂O₄:Mn phosphors at higher electron beam energies, resulting in a greater relative contribution of the vibronic side bands to the green emission.

Enhanced luminescence in CaMoO4: Eu3+ red phosphor nanoparticles prepared by mechanochemically assisted solid state meta-thesis reaction method

For the first time, CaMoO₄: xEu³⁺ (x = 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1) red phosphor nanoparticles were synthesized using the simple mechanochemically assisted solid state meta-thesis (SSM) reaction method and the luminescence properties as a function of Eu³⁺ ion concentration was investigated. The characteristics of the phosphor materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. For 8 mol% of Eu³⁺ concentration, the phosphor shows an intensified excitation peak at 392 nm indicating a strong absorption. The PL emission spectra of CaMoO₄: Eu³⁺ phosphors showed an intense peak at 615 nm (red) which corresponds to ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺. The optimal Eu³⁺ concentration in CaMoO₄ phosphors for enhanced red emission occurs for 8 mol% and above this concentration, the emission intensity decreases due to quenching effect. The CIE colour coordinates of the CaMoO₄: 0.08Eu³⁺ red phosphor coincide very well with the standard values of NTSC. The red emission intensity of the SSM prepared CaMoO₄: 0.08Eu³⁺ red phosphor is 4.7 times greater than that of the commercial Y₂O₂S: Eu³⁺ red phosphor and 1.6 times more than the same phosphor prepared by the solid state reaction method.
