Preparation,Structural Analysis and Luminescence Properties of Nanocrystalline Phosphor Gd2O3∶Eu

Nanocrystalline monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu with different Eu3 concentration were prepared using glycine-nitrate combustion synthesis. By changing the ratio of glycine to nitrate and proper heat treatment, pure monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu with particle size less than 40 nm can be easily formed. Under ultraviolet excitation, main emission of Eu3 (5D0→7F2) locates at 624 nm in monoclinic Gd2O3∶Eu and 611 nm in cubic sample. In excitation spectrum two broad bands corresponding to the host absorption and charge transfer state(CTS) and f-f transitions of Gd3 and Eu3 were observed and discussed. The quenching concentration of monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3∶Eu is 10% and 15%, respectively, both of which are much higher than that of bulk Gd2O3∶Eu.     

Preparation, Structural Analysis and Luminescence Properties of Nanocrystalline Phosphor Gd203 ： Eu

Nanocrystalline monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3:Eu with different Eu^3 concentration were prepared using glycinenitrate combustion synthesis. By changing the ratio of glycine to nitrate and proper heat treatment, pure monoclinic and cubic Gd203:Eu with particle size less than 40 nm can be easily formed. Under ultraviolet excitation, main emission of Eu^3 (^5D0→^7F2) locates at 624 nm in monoclinic Gd2O3:Eu and 611 nm in cubic sample, In excitation spectrum two broad bands corresponding to the host absorption and charge transfer state (CTS) and f-f transitions of Gd^3 and Eu^3 were observed and discussed. The quenching concentration of monoclinic and cubic Gd2O3:Eu is 10% and 15 %, respectively,both of which are much higher than that of bulk Gd2O3 : Eu.
