紫外光激发Ce3+掺YVO4蓝光发射性能研究

利用提拉法生长了YVO₄和掺2.0at% CeO₂(或Ce₂(CO₃)₃)的YVO₄: Ce³⁺晶体。样品的XRD测试表明Ce³⁺代替Y³⁺进入晶格, Ce³⁺的加入并没有影响YVO₄的晶格结构。XPS测试显示YVO₄: Ce³⁺晶体中Ce离子3d分裂为882.0、885.8、902.9、908.0和915.9 eV等5个峰, 峰位表明样品中铈离子是以Ce³⁺和Ce⁴⁺两种价态形式存在。YVO₄和YVO₄: Ce³⁺激发谱都呈现出260~360 nm宽带激发, 此激发带源于基质中VO₄^3-离子团的配体O到V的电荷迁移吸收。使用325 nm的紫外线激发时, 两种样品均可发出以440 nm 为中心的宽带蓝光,其中YVO₄发射峰应归属于VO₄^3-离子团中³T₂→¹A₁和³T₁→¹A₁跃迁; 而YVO₄: Ce³⁺的蓝光发射则来源于Ce³⁺的5d→4f 的跃迁。分析可知YVO₄: Ce³⁺中VO₄^3-的π轨道和Ce³⁺的电子波函数能有效地重叠, 使得VO₄^3-和Ce³⁺可通过交换作用有效地向Ce³⁺传递能量, 可大幅提高Ce³⁺的蓝光发射强度。实验结果显示YVO₄: Ce³⁺可作为UV-LED管芯激发的白光发光二极管用高亮度蓝色发光材料。

采用熔融淬冷法制备了不同浓度Ce³⁺离子掺杂的20Li₂O-5MgO-20Al₂O₃-55SiO₂玻璃闪烁材料。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)技术、密度检测等方法研究了玻璃的微观结构随Ce³⁺离子掺杂浓度的变化规律, 采用荧光分光技术检测了玻璃的紫外光致激发光谱(PLE)、发射光谱(PE)。研究结果表明: 在不对称的晶体场作用下, Ce³⁺离子5d能级被劈裂为5个组分; 随着玻璃基质内Ce³⁺离子掺杂浓度增大, 玻璃的非晶化程度加深; 5d能级的劈裂宽度随之增大, 由此导致激发带向低能量端展宽、发射光谱明显红移; Ce³⁺离子的荧光发射强度随Ce³⁺离子掺杂浓度先升高、后降低, 浓度猝灭过程成为其荧光发射效率降低的主要原因。     

Zn3-xMnxTeO6的晶体结构与吸收光谱和磁性研究

本工作主要研究Mn ²⁺离子掺杂的类刚玉系氧化物Zn₃TeO₆(0<x≤2.0)的晶体结构与光学性质和磁性的变化。Zn_3-xMn_xTeO₆粉末样品通过固相反应合成。Mn掺杂量的相图表明, x<1.0时保持单斜(C2/c)结构, 1.0≤x≤1.6为单斜(C2/c)和三方六面体混合相(R-3), x≥1.8时完全转变为R-3相, 且x=2.0时形成ZnMn₂TeO₆, Te-O和Mn/Zn-O键长增大, 八面体发生更大畸变。X射线粉末衍射结构精修也表明R-3相中Zn/MnO₆为畸变八面体。随着Mn ²⁺掺杂含量的增加, Zn_3-xMn_xTeO₆系列化合物不仅结构发生变化, 其颜色也由浅变深。紫外吸收光谱中随着掺杂浓度的增加, 400~550 nm处的吸收增强, 样品的光学带隙也由3.25 eV (x=0.1)逐渐减小到2.08 eV (x=2.0), 分析表明, 可见区吸收的增强是源于MnO₆八面体中Zn/MnO₆八面体中Mn ²⁺离子的d-d跃迁, 导致样品由浅黄色逐渐变为暗黄色。 磁性测试表明, 固溶体的反铁磁转变温度随着Mn ²⁺掺杂量的提高而逐渐增加, 且掺入的Mn ²⁺离子以高自旋态 存在。

Yb to Er energy transfer and rate-equations formalism in the eye safe laser material Yb:Er:Ca2Al2SiO7

Rate equations formalism is used to predict the population ratio of the Er^{3+ 4}I_13/2 levels involved in the 1.55 μm laser transition in the Yb:Er:CAS laser materials. An effective Yb → Er energy transfer, favourable to the Er³⁺ 1.55 μm laser emission, is demonstrated in this laser host. Indeed, the Yb → Er transfer and the Er → Yb back transfer rates are calculated to be 6 x 10⁻¹⁶ and 0.45 x 10⁻¹⁶ cm³ s⁻¹, respectively. Attempts of codoping the system with Nd³⁺, Eu³⁺ and Ce³⁺ have been realised in order to increase the population of the Er^{3+ 4}I_13/2 laser emitting level. Best results are obtained with Ce³⁺ ion since in the sample containing 6 x 10²⁰ Ce³⁺/cm³, the Er^{3+ 4}I_11/2 level lifetime is divided by a factor of 3 while the Er^{3+ 4}I_13/2 fluorescence lifetime remains unaffected. On the contrary, codoping with Nd³⁺ or Eu³⁺ ions simultaneously decreases the Er^{3+ 4}I_11/2 and ⁴I_13/2 kinetics parameters. The role of the other parameters such as Yb/Er concentrations ratios is also discussed.     

Sensitized luminescence and energy transfer in Ce and Eu codoped calcium magnesium chlorosilicate

Ce³⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions codoped calcium magnesium chlorosilicate [Ca₈Mg(SiO₄)₄Cl₂] phosphors have been synthesized and characterized. Intense bluish-green light was observed under ultraviolet and blue light excitations. The diffuse reflection, excitation and emission spectra of Ca₈Mg(SiO₄)₄Cl₂:Ce³⁺,Eu²⁺ were measured at room temperature, and enhancement of Eu²⁺ emission was confirmed. The fluorescence lifetimes of Ce³⁺ were measured, and the mechanism of nonradiative energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺ is found to be electric dipole–dipole interaction. The probabilities and efficiencies of nonradiative energy transfer were also calculated, and the results indicate that the efficiency can be as high as 86% in this material system.

Cerium doped soda-lime-silicate glasses: effects of silver ion-exchange on optical properties

Effects of silver ion-exchange on optical absorption (OA) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of a cerium doped soda-lime-silicate glass at room temperature are investigated. The optical spectra are described in terms of the characteristic transitions 4f↔5d originated in Ce³⁺ ions placed mainly in two different sites of the glass network. As Ag⁺ ions are introduced into the cerium doped glass, they are reduced to elementary silver (Ag⁰) which are favoured by the reaction Ce³⁺+Ag⁺→Ce⁴⁺+Ag⁰. Then, the number of Ce³⁺ ions decrease inversely with depth from the surface contrarily to Ce⁴⁺ ions does, and elementary silver diffuses and aggregates to form nanoparticles. As a consequence of these changes, the OA spectra of exchanged samples increase substantially in the UV range and the luminescence decreases significantly. The high sensitivity of PL together with deconvolution analysis of spectra, however, allows us to detect changes in the excitation and emission spectra from the earlier stages of ion-exchange. This indicates that during the ion-exchange we deal with fast processes (much shorter than 1 min). In fact, transmission electron microscopy observations of samples from the glass exchanged for a short time as 1 min at 325°C show the presence of a scanty number of silver nanoparticles, which confirms this point. Furthermore, with increasing the length of time of ion-exchange, PL spectra exhibit a progressive red shift indicative in part of a covalence increment in the oxygen–cerium coordinated bonding. We observe no luminescence from Ag⁺ ions and other silver molecular species in contrast with other preliminary PL studies on silver ion-exchange in soda-lime-silicate glasses free of cerium. The effect is discussed on the basis of a supplementary increase in the number of Ce⁴⁺ ions mainly due to the reaction Ce³⁺+Ag⁺→Ce⁴⁺+Ag⁰, which prevents efficiently the luminescence of the silver centers.     

On the relationship between emission color and Ce concentration in garnet phosphors

It is known that the emission color of Ce³⁺ doped garnets is strongly redshifted at higher Ce³⁺ concentrations. In this report, we study the cause of this redshift in Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (LuAG:Ce) phosphors. These changes in emission color with Ce³⁺ concentration are mainly attributed to a combination of inhomogenous broadening for Ce³⁺ in LuAG and energy transfer from high energy Ce³⁺ ions to low energy Ce³⁺ ions. Evidence for inhomogenous broadening and energy transfer is given through time resolved measurements. Potential reasons for inhomogenous broadening of Ce³⁺ in these phosphors are also discussed.     

Phase relations, lattice thermal expansion in Ce1−xEuxO2−x/2 and Ce1−xSmxO2−x/2 systems and stabilization of cubic RE2O3 (RE: Eu, Sm)

The phase relations in CeO₂–Eu₂O₃ and CeO₂–Sm₂O₃ systems have been established under slow-cooled conditions from 1400 °C. The two-phase relations differ as the CeO₂–Eu₂O₃ system showed only two monophasic phase fields, namely F-type cubic and C-type cubic, whereas CeO₂–Sm₂O₃ system showed three phase fields namely F-type cubic, C-type cubic and a biphasic field comprising of C-type cubic and monoclinic phase. An interesting observation of this investigation is the stabilization of C-type rare-earth oxide after Ce⁴⁺ substitution, which is attributed to decrease in average cationic size on Ce⁴⁺ substitution at RE³⁺ site. The lattice thermal expansion behavior of F-type solid solution and C-type solid solution in CeO₂–Eu₂O₃ system was investigated by high-temperature XRD.
