Concentration quenching of Tb3+ luminescence in LaOBr and Gd2O2S phosphors

The concentration quenching of trivalent terbium ${}^5\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{3,4}}\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{J}}$ emissions from UV-excited (La, Tb) OBr and (Gd, Tb)₂O₂S phosphors was studied. The activation concentration x was varied from 5·10^?5 to 0.2 for (La_1?xTb_x) OBr and from 10^?3 to 0.1 for (Gd_1?xTb_x)₂O₂S. ${}^5\text{D}{}_3\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{J}}$ emissions (blue) were observed to quench first and the Tb³⁺ concentration giving rise to maximum intensity was 0.003 in (La, Tb) OBr and between 0.005 and 0.01 in (Gd, Tb)₂O₂S. The optimum concentration for ${}^5\text{D}{}_4\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{J}}$ (green) emissions was 0.05 in (La, Tb) OBr and 0.03 in (Gd, Tb)₂O₂S. Dipole-dipole and dipole-quadrupole interactions are possible mechanisms for the quenching of emissions from the ⁵D₃ and ⁵D₄ levels.A method for determining the Tb³⁺ concentration in these phosphors, based on the intensity ratios of the ${}^5\text{D}{}_3\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{J}}$ and ${}^5\text{D}{}_4\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{J}}$ transitions, is also presented.

Luminescent properties of GdAl3(BO3)4:Ln3+ (Ln3+:Eu3+, Tb3+, Dy3+) nano-phosphors

GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Ln³⁺ (Ln³⁺:Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Dy³⁺) nano-phosphors were prepared by sol–gel method. The structure properties of the phosphors are characterized by XRD, and GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Ln³⁺ nano-phosphors have average sizes around 40 nm. The doping concentrations of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Dy³⁺ ions in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ nano-phosphors are from 1 to 9 mol% for Eu³⁺ ions, from 2 to 12 mol% for Tb³⁺ ions and from 1 to 5 mol% for Dy³⁺ ions, respectively. The luminescent properties of rare-earth ions doped GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ nano-phosphors are analyzed by the photoluminescence spectra, which prime doping concentration of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Dy³⁺ ions are at 5, 12 and 3 mol%, respectively. The energy transfers in the luminescent processes of rare-earth ions doped GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ nano-phosphors are discussed.

采用高温熔融法制备了Sm3+/Ce3+/Tb3+共掺杂的CaO-B2O3-SiO2发光玻璃材料,并用荧光分光光度计和CIE色度坐标对其发光性能进行了研究。发射光谱表明,在374nm激发下,Sm3+/Ce3+/Tb3+共掺杂CaO-B2O3-SiO2发光玻璃的发射光谱中同时观测到了红橙光、蓝光和绿光的发射带,这些发射带的混合实现了白光发射。此外,在Sm2O3和Tb4O7含量不变的情况下,随着CeO2含量的减小,Sm3+/Ce3+/Tb3+共掺杂发光玻璃的发光颜色在白光区逐渐由蓝光区附近过渡到黄光区附近。

Luminescent efficiency of Eu3+ and Tb3+ in LaMgB5O10 — Type borates under excitation from 100 to 400 nm

Luminescent properties of Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in doped LaMgB₅O₁₀ have been studied over the 100–400 nm excitation range. The Tb³⁺-activated borate shows an external quantum efficiency exceeding 75 % when excited in 5d levels between 180 and 205 nm. The excitation range of high efficiency is extended up to 290 nm when the terbium fluorescence is sensitized by cerium, which makes this material a good candidate for use as the green component in low-pressure mercury lamps. The vacuum UV spectra of the Ln_xLa_1?xMgB₅O₁₀ (Ln = Eu, Tb) phases show a band close to 150 nm corresponding to an excitation of the Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions transmitted through the host lattice.

通过离子交换和水热两步合成过程简单制备了Yb3+、Er3+和Eu3+共掺杂锐钛矿型TiO2纳米带。该3种离子共掺杂未导致TiO2结构和形貌发生变化。光学特性测试结果表明,由于稀土离子掺杂浓度低,Eu3+掺杂未改变由Yb3+和Er3+产生的上转换发射峰位,但可观察到因上转换发光激发的Eu3+荧光发射峰;Eu3+荧光光谱也未受到Yb3+和Er3+掺杂的影响。通过对掺杂样品上转换发光机理的考察证实,上转换发光过程是双光子过程,但TiO2和Eu3+掺杂对此发光过程有明显影响。     

Eu2+、Dy3+、Li+共掺杂CaSi2O2N2荧光粉的发光性能

采用高温固相反应法制备了一系列白光LED用CaSi2O2N2:0.05Eu2+,xDy3+,xLi+(0≤x≤0.03)荧光粉.利用X射线衍射仪对样品的物相结构进行了分析,结果表明:Dy3+和Li+离子的掺入没有改变CaSi2O2N2:Eu2+荧光粉的主晶相.利用荧光光谱仪对样品的发光性能进行了测试,发现所有样品的激发光谱均覆盖了从近紫外到蓝光的较宽范围,400 nm激发下得到的发射光谱为宽波段的单峰,峰值位于545 nm左右,是Eu2+离子5d-4f电子跃迁引起的.Dy3+离子掺杂可以提高CaSi2O2N2:Eu2+荧光粉的发光强度,Dy3+与Li+共掺杂可进一步提高荧光粉的发光强度,当Dy3+和Li+的掺杂量为1mol%时,荧光粉的发光强度达到最大值,是单掺杂Eu2+的荧光粉发光强度的157%.

CeO2∶Eu3+纳米晶的发光特性与Gd3+离子掺杂影响研究

以尿素为燃烧剂,采用低温燃烧法制备了Eu3+单掺杂和Eu3+、Gd3+共掺杂CeO2纳米晶粉末,用X射线衍射(XRD)和透射电镜(TEM)对样品进行了结构分析和形貌表征.对掺杂Gd3+离子的CeO2∶1％ Eu3+纳米晶的光谱研究发现,随着Gd3+离子掺杂浓度的增加,5D0→7F2跃迁与5D0→7F1跃迁的强度比随之增加,这表明Eu3++离子的格位对称性有所下降,且有利于提高红橙光的比例.鉴于CeO2基质在300～390nm有强吸收,Eu3+掺杂CeQ2纳米晶在近紫外激发LED荧光粉方面有潜在应用前景.     

Crystal structure and fluorescence spectrum of 3Y2O3, WO3: Eu3+

A structural study of the rhombohedral compound 3Y₂O₃, WO₃ doped with Europium was carried out. The fluorescence spectrum of Eu³⁺ was measured in the frequency range 12500–25000 cm^?1. Transitions from the excited state 5D₀ to the Stark components of the five lowest 7F_J (J=0,1,2,3,4) states were observed. The analysis revealed that the rare earth ion is within a crystal field of C₁ symmetry. We found values for the B^k_q parameters which give a good agreement between the observed and calculated levels.     

The luminescent enhancement of LaPO4:Ce3+,Tb3+ nano phosphors by radial aggregation

The rare earth nano phosphors can meet the challenging demand for new functional devices but their luminescence is always poor. Here we report on a simple method to prepare uniform LaPO₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ sphere-like nano aggregates from the precipitated nano phosphor crystallites without using any additive. The spontaneous aggregation is induced and controlled only by the suspension pH conditions. It is found that the 100 nm spherical aggregates can significantly improve the green emissions of the LaPO₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ nano particles. The intensity of the aggregates can be about 10 times as that of the 80 nm-sized individual ones. This study may provide a useful yet convenient strategy in the improvement and application of nano phosphors.

A new family of the ternary BaCaLn₂F₁₀ (Ln=Lu, Yb, Tm, Er, Ho, Dy) system has been prepared. Emission and excitation spectra of Eu²⁺ doped BaCaLu₂F₁₀ are presented and discussed.     

The Ce3+ → Tb3+ transfer in phosphate host lattices

A Ce³⁺ → Tb³⁺ transfer has been shown to appear in various phosphates belonging to different structural types and particularly in some new compounds: Na₃Ln(PO₄)₂:Ce, Tb; Na_xSr_3?2xLn_x(PO₄)₂:Ce, Tb and KCaLn(PO₄)₂:Ce, Tb.The presence of [PO₄ groups, in which the P-O bonds are strongly covalent, leads to a relatively weak crystal field at the rare-earth sites. The best overlapping between cerium emission and terbium excitation spectra is obtained for phosphates containing alkali ions. This result can be explained by a lowering of the emitting level of the cerium 5d configuration due to stronger covalency of the CeO bond and to an increasing crystal field at the rare-earth sites.

EU:Y2O3纳米晶的光谱特性与微结构

采用均相共沉淀法制备了不同粒径的Y2O3Eu3+和Y2O3粉体材料,根据红外光谱和荧光光谱,探讨了纳米Y2O3Eu3+粉体的微观结构与同质体微米材料相对变化.发现纳米粉体的Y(Eu)-O键吸收峰校正高度和面积随着颗粒的减小而减小,而对于同质微米材料却相反.分析认为Y(Eu)-O键红外吸收峰校正高度和面积由Y(Eu)-O键的平均键长和Y(Eu)-O键振动态的数目两个因素决定,对于微米粉Y(Eu)-O键长起主要作用.由于纳米粉体的比表面积随粒径的减少呈指数的增加,不饱和键和悬空键的数目随粒径减小而指数增加,Y(Eu)-O键振动态的数目起主要作用.计算了纳米粉体相对微米粉的跃迁强度参量Ωt/Ωt'值,发现Ω2和Ω4均增加,说明粉粒内部跃迁几率增加.纳米荧光粉比微米粉荧光强度减少的实验事实应是纳米粉粒表面效应引起的,与红外光谱实验的结果相符.
