Effects of two strategies on afterglow behavior of Lu_(2)O_(3):Eu single crystal scintillator:Co-doping with Pr^(3+)and solid solution with Sc_(2)O_(3)

In this paper,effect of two strategies on afterglow behavior of Lu_(2)O_(3):Eu single crystal scintillato r,Pr^(3+)codoping and solid solution with Sc_(2)O_(3),were studied systematically.Two groups of Lu_(2)O_(3):5 at%Eu,x at%Pr(x=0,0.2,0.5,1,2 and 5)and(Lu1-yScy)_(2)O_(3):5 at%Eu(y=0,20 at%,50 at%and 70 at%)single crystals were grown by floating zone(FZ)method in air atmosphere.The structures of as-grown crystals were determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD).The scintillation,photoluminescence properties and carrier trap states were investigated through afterglow,X-ray excitation luminescence(XEL),transmittance,photoluminescence excitation(PLE)and photoluminescence(PL),PL decay and thermal stimulated luminescence(TSL)curves.It is found that with the increase of Pr^(3+)concentration,the afterglow level of the system decreases at the expense of scintillation luminescence efficiency.Meanwhile,although Sc_(2)O_(3):Eu presents much lower afterglow intensity than Lu_(2)O_(3):Eu,the addition of Sc_(2)O_(3)will just increase the afterglow level of the(Lu1-yScy)_(2)O_(3):5 at%Eu single crystal system.Possible mechanisms for above phenomena are discussed based on experimental results.

(Y,Gd)_2O_3:Eu^(3+)纳米粒子制备过程中的合成动力学

采用反向滴定共沉淀法制备出(Y,Gd)_2O_3:Eu^(3+)前躯体,再在不同温度下煅烧,获得(Y,Gd)_2O_3:Eu^(3+)纳米粒子,用XRD和SEM对样品物相组成及形貌进行了表征;用TG-DTA获得了佯品在不同升温速率下的热分解曲线.结果表明,前躯体在煅烧过程中的物相变化分为3个阶段,用Doyle-Ozawa法和Kissinger法分别计算出各个反应阶段的表观活化能,其平均值分别为191.54,557.05和236.58 kJ·mol^(-1)并建立了动力学方程;(Y,Gd)_2O_3:Eu^(3+)晶粒生长活化能是35.58 kJ.mol^(-1),纳米粒子形核过程中的晶粒长大由晶界扩散控制.
