The pure phase BG phosphors with the ordered CaFe2 O4-type structure are obtained by annealing at 1300℃ for5 h. The phosphors with uniform particle size of 120 nm and good dispersion display typical Eu^3+emission with the strongest peak at 613 nm(^5 D0→^7 F2 transition of Eu3+) under optimal excitation band at 262 nm(CTB band). The presence of Gd^3+ excitation bands on the PLE spectra monitoring the Eu3+emission directly proves an evidence of Gd^3+-Eu^3+ energy transfer. Owing to the concentration quenching, the optimum content of Eu3+ addition is 5 at%(x = 0.05), and the quenching mechanism is determined to be the exchange reaction between Eu3+. All the BG samples have similar color coordinates and temperature of(0.64 ± 0.02, 0.36 ± 0.01) and 2000 ± 100 K,respectively. The lifetime value of BaGd(1.9)Eu(0.1)O4 for 613 nm is fitted to be 2.19 ± 0.01 ms, and the Eu^3+ concentration does not change the lifetime significantly. Owing to the Gd^3+-Eu^3+ energy transfer, the luminescent intensity of the BaGd(1.9)Eu(0.1)O4 phosphor is better than BY system. The BG system served as a new type of phosphor is expected to be widely used in lighting and display areas.展开更多

The raw nano- materials were thermally treated at 900 to 1100℃ for 3 h. The XRD analysis demonstrated that the powders were single-phase nanopowders with high crystallite dispersion. Our studies were focused on relating the luminescence properties of the Eu^3+ dopant to the NC (nanocrystallites) size. This was achieved by varying the calcinations temperature between 900 and 1100 ℃. The average NC size varied accordingly between -36 and -75 nm. We found that size effect manifested mainly in the expansion of the cell volume and broadening of XRD peaks as indicated by Rietveld analysis. Moreover the emission and excitation spectra, although typical for Eu^3+ ions, demonstrated some degree of variability with calcinations temperature and doping concentration. To explain these differences a detailed analysis of luminescence spectra by the Judd-Ofelt theory was performed.展开更多
