The low-valence cations Na^(+)and Sr^(2+)were selected as the co-dopants to increase the vacancies concentration in the Y_(2.982)Ce_(0.018)Al_(2)Ga_(3)O_(12)phosphor.The successful incorporation of Na^(+)and Sr^(2+)was confirmed by the X-Ray Difiraction(XRD)results.All the samples show 5d-4f green persistent luminescence of Ce^(3+)after 450 nm excitation.The decay curves demonstrate that the persistent luminescence is efiectively enhanced with Na+and Sr2+doping.The thermoluminescence glow curves also show not only does the trap concentration increase,but also the distribution of trap depths is broadened.In addition,the air-and H_(2)/Ar-annealing treatments were conducted on every as-made sample.The experimental results prove that the increased traps after the Na^(+)/Sr^(2+)doping are mainly attributed to the oxygen vacancies,and the traps have a continuous and broad distribution of trap depths.We hope this work could give new inspiration for designing a high-performance persistent phosphor.
