The phase evolution, morphologies and absorbency of the synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FFIR) and UV-3101PC spectrophotometer (UVPC), respectively. XRD and FESEM results showed that pure SmBO3 phase was obtained at 750 ℃, with an average original particle size of about 100 nm. FTIR showed that there were apparently concentrated absorbent peaks between 500 and 1400 cm^-1. Moreover, the reflectivity of the powders apparently decreased at the wavelength between 1.05 and 1.15 μm. Therefore, SmBO3 might be a kind of absorbent material for infrared laser.展开更多

The effects of annealing temperature and doping concentration on the crystal structure and luminescence properties of Ca2A12SiO7:Eu^3+ phosphors were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles showed that all peaks could be attributed to the tetragonal Ca2A12SiO7 phase when the sample was annealed at 1000℃. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs indicate that the phosphors have an irregularly rounded mor- phology with particles of about 200 nm. Excitation spectra showed that the strong broad band at around 258 nm and weak sharp lines in 350-490 nm were attributed to the charge transfer band of Eu^3+-O^2- and f-f transitions within the 4f^6 configuration of Eu^3+ ions, respectively. Emission spectra implied that the red luminescence could be attributed to the transitions from the ^5D0 excited level to the 7Fj (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) levels of Eu3+ions with the main electric dipole transition ^5D0→^7F2 (618 and 620 nm), and Eu^3+ ions prefer to occupy a lower symmetry site in the crystal lattice. Moreover, the photoluminescence (PL) intensity was strongly dependent on both the sintering temperature and doping concentration, and the highest PL intensity was observed at an Eu^3+ concentration x = 7 mol.% after annealing at ll00℃. The obtained Ca2A12SiO7:Eu^+3+ phosphor may have potential application for the red lamp phosphor.展开更多

The spinnable zirconia sol was prepared by electrolyzing the zirco-nium oxychloride octahydrate(ZOC) solution in the presence of acetic acid and sugar( sucrose, glucrose or fructose) , in which the molar ratios of CH3 COOH/ZOC and sugar/ZOC were 1.0-4.0 and 0.2-0.4, respectively. The pre- pared tetragonal zireonia fibers sintered at different temperatures showed smooth and crack-free surfaces with diame, ters of 5-10 μm. The addition of Al2O3 enhanced the sintering process and prevented the crystals from growing. Thermogravimetric analysis(TG), X-ray diffraction ( XRD ), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), and scanning electron microscope(SEM) techniques were used to characterize the prepared fibers.展开更多

The structural properties of Y2O3:Er^3+ films were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the Y2O3:Er^3+ films might have high upconversion efficiency because of their low vibrational energy.

The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence. Excited state absorption and energy transfer process were discussed as possible upconversion mechanisms. The cross relaxation process in Er^3+ was also investigated.展开更多

The effects of the precursor properties and calcining temperature on the crystallization process, microscopic morphology and luminescent properties of phosphor were studied. The results indicate that the pure phase of YAG can be obtained at 800 ℃ by sol-gel low temperature combustion method, using citric acid as complexing agent. When the molar ratio of metal ion to citric acid is 2.0 and pH value is 2, the crystallinity increases and the phosphor particle size grows up gradually with the increase of the calcining temperature. The powders were characterized through thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope analysis. The excitation spectra of YAG:Ce3+ phosphor take on a double peak structure, and the peak value of the main excitation spectra occurs at 460 nm and that of the emission spectra is near 530 nm. With the gradual increase of the calcining temperature, the peak position of excitation and emission spectra remains basically unchanged, but its relative intensity increases gradually.展开更多
