Preparation and Long Persistence Red Luminescence of M0.2Ca0.8TiO3∶Pr3+(M=Mg2+,Sr2+,Ba2+,Zn2+)

M0.2Ca0.8TiO3∶Pr3 (M=Mg2 , Sr2 , Ba2 , Zn2 ) long persistence red phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction. The influence of the partially replacing Ca2 in CaTiO3 with Mg2 , Sr2 , Ba2 , Zn2 on the excitation spectra, the emission spectra and the long persistence properties were studied. The results suggest that certain quantity of Mg2 , Sr2 , Ba2 , Zn2 which partially replace Ca2 can enhance the luminescent intensity and prolong the afterglow persistence of the samples. The intensity of Mg0.2Ca0.8TiO3∶Pr3 is above all of the samples. Take Mg0.2Ca0.8TiO3∶Pr3 as the basic sample, the influence of Pr3 concentrations(C(Pr3 )) on the long afterglow properties were also studied. The results suggest that when the C(Pr3 ) is 0.10%(mol fraction) the intensity of the sample is the highest. The excitation spectra of all these samples show broad band spectra ranging from 300～500 nm peaking at about 342 nm. The emission spectra also exhibit a broad band peaking at 613 nm(CaTiO3∶Pr3 is 612 nm). XRD research indicates that the crystalline phases change due to the replacement of divalent metal ions.The research on the thermoluminescence spectra of Mg0.2Ca0.8TiO3∶Pr3 indicates that the peak is at 107.35 ℃ and the depth of the trap energy is about 0.852 eV.
