Red color Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_(3)O_(12):Eu^(3+)phosphor with high thermal stability for w-LEDs

Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_(3)O_(12):xEu phosphors with uniform particle size/morphology and good dispersion can be synthesized via solid state reaction.Under the optimum excitation wavelength of ~340 nm,the Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_(3)O_(12):xEu phosphor displays the broad emission band at ~500 nm(blue-green emission,^(3)T_(1,2)→^(1)A_(1) transition of[VO_(4)]^(3-))and sharp emission peak at~610 nm(red emission,^(5)D_(0)→^(7)F_(2) transition of Eu^(3+)),respectively.With the Eu^(3+)content increasing,the emission intensity of[VO_(4)]^(3-)decreases gradually while the emission intensity of Eu^(3+)increases,which is ascribed to the energy transfer from[VO_(4)]^(3-)to Eu^(3+)ions.The decay time of[VO_(4)]^(3-)(-500 nm)increases gradually with the Eu^(3+)content increasing.The energy transfer efficiency and mechanism of[VO_(4)]^(3-)→Eu^(3+)ions were analyzed,respectively.The emission color of Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_(3)O_(12):xEu phosphor was regulated from green to red via altering the Eu^(3+)ions concentration.It is delightful for us that the white color emission can be just achieved when the Eu^(3+)content is 5 at%(x=0.05),and the w-LED can be assembled.By studying the luminescence temperature dependence and activation energy of Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_3O_(12):xEu phosphor,it is shown that the phosphor has good thermal stability.The Sr_(2)NaMg_(2)V_3O_(12):xEu powder is expected to be a new type of phosphor widely used in light and display areas.

Synthesis and luminescent properties of Ba_(3)Y_(3.88)Gd_(0.12)O_(9):Eu^(3+) phosphors with enhanced red emission

In this work,the Gd^(3+)/Eu^(3+) activated Ba_(3)Y_(4)O_(9)(BYO)phosphors were successfully synthesized via coprecipitation method at 1400℃.The precursor composition,crystal structure stability,microscopic morphology,photoluminescence(PL)/photoluminescence excitation(PLE)spectra and fluorescence attenuation analysis of the phosphors are discussed in detail.The chemical composition of the precursor was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)and thermogravimetry(TG)analysis;According to field emission-scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)analysis,it is found that the particle size of phosphor is uniform and the agglomeration is few.According to PL/PLE spectra analysis,Ba_(3)Y_(3.28)Eu_(0.6)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) phosphors has the strongest excitation band at 260 nm and the strongest emission band at 614 nm,and the fluorescence intensity of Ba_(3)Y_(3.28)Eu_(0.6)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) is higher than that of Ba_(3)Y^(3.4)Eu^(0.6)O_(9).The quenching concentration of Eu^(3+)in Ba_(3)Y_(3.88–4x)Eu_(4x)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) phosphors is x=0.15 and the mechanism of quenching concentration of Eu^(3+)is electric dipole-quadrupole type interactions.The lifetime value of Ba_(3)Y_(3.88–4x)Eu_(4x)Gd_(0.12)O_(9)(x=0.15)phosphors is 0.686 ms and decreases with the increase of Eu^(3+)content.In addition,the CIE chromaticity diagram of Ba_(3)Y_(3.28)Eu_(0.6)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) phosphors is(0.66,0.34).Finally,the lamp beads assembled with Ba_(3)Y_(3.28)Eu_(0.6)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) phosphors have an ideal luminous effect.Therefore,the Ba_(3)Y_(3.88–4x)Eu_(4x)Gd_(0.12)O_(9) phosphors designed in this work may hopefully meet the requirements of various lighting and optical display applications.

Speckle characteristics of simulated deep Fresnel region under shadowing effect

After the three-dimensional self-affine fractal random surface simulation, we use the optical scattering theory to calculate the deep Fresnel region speckle(DFRS) under consideration of the more strict shadowing effect. The evolution of DFRS with the scattering distance and the intensity probability distribution are studied. It is found that the morphology of the scatterer has an antisymmetric relationship with the intensity distribution of DFRS, and the effect of micro-lenses on the scattering surface causes the intensity probability distribution of DFRS to deviate from the Gaussian speckle in the high light intensity area.
