This paper synthesizes the Sr2SiO4：Eu^2＋ phosphor by high temperature solid-state reaction. The emission spectrum of Sr2SiO4 ： Eu^2＋ shows two bands centred at 480 and 547 nm, which agree well with the calculation values of emission spectrum, and the location of yellow emission of Sr2SiO4 ： Eu^2＋ is influenced by the Eu^2＋ concentration. The excitation spectrum for 547 nm emission has two bands at 363 and 402 nm. The emission spectrum of white light emitting diodes （w-LEDs） based on Sr2SiO4 ： Eu^2＋ phosphor ＋ InGaN LED was investigated.

Structure and Luminescence Characteristics of Europium Activated Strontium Silicates Sr(Eu,Bi)SiO_3 and Sr(Eu,Bi)_2SiO_4

Sr2SiO4∶Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ and SrSiO 3∶Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ samples were synthesized at high temperature and high pressure. The effect of high pressure on the structure and luminescence properties of the samples were studied. As a comparison, the samples were also prepared by the method of sol-gel at high temperature and atmospheric pressure. The SrSiO 3∶Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ prepared at atmosphere has a hexagonal phase structure; in the pressure range of 2 34-4 10 GPa, it is transformed into a pseudo-orthorhombic structure(monoclinic), and in the pressure range of 4 10-4 15 GPa, the structure change of Sr 2SiO 4∶Eu 3+ , Bi 3+ has not been observed, it maintains the monoclinic structure of the samples synthesized at an atmospheric pressure. High pressure makes the luminescence properties of the samples changed obviously. The intensity and the relative quantum luminescent efficiency decrease, the half-width increases obviously and the red shift occurs. The changes of the luminescence properties result from the pressure-induced changes of the crystal structures.

Luminescence characteristics of Eu^(3+) activated borate phosphor for white light emitting diode

In this paper, the Sr3Y2 （BO3）4 ：Eu^3＋ phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method and the luminescence characteristics were investigated. The emission spectrum exhibits one strong red emission at 613 nm corresponding to the electric dipole 5^Do-7^F2 transition of Eu^3＋ under 365 nm excitation, this is because Eu^3＋ substituted for Y^3＋ occupied the non-centrosymmetric position in the crystal structure of Sr3Y2（BO3）4. The excitation spectrum indicates that the phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet （254 nm, 365 nm and 400 nm） and blue （470 nm） light. The effect of Eu^3＋ concentration on the red emission of Sr3Y2（BO3）4 ：Eu^3＋ was measured, the result shows that the emission intensities increase with increasing Eu^3＋ concentration, then decrease. The Commission Internationale del＇Eclairage chromaticity （x, y） of Sr3Y2（BO3）4 ：Eu^3＋ phosphor is （0.640, 0.355） at 15 mol% Eu^3＋.

The rare earth luminescence materials LaOBrfTb3+(Dy3+) were synthesized at high temperature,and the structure and luminescence characteristics were studied. The co-doping Dy3+ may make the energy of 5D3 of Tb3+ transfer to 5D4 level, which makes the emission of 5D4-7FJ (J=0,1... 6), specially of 5D4-7F5, enhance obviously, and the total brightness is increased by about 40% in comparison with the samples without Dy3+ cations, as a result of the energy transfer of dipole-dipole interaction.

Luminescent characteristics of Ba_3Y_2(BO_3)_4:Eu^(3+) phosphor for white LED

The Ba3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor was synthesized using a high temperature solid-state reaction method and the luminescent characteristics were investigated. The emission spectrum exhibited one strong red emission at 613 nm, corresponding to the electric dipole 5D0-TF2 transition of Eu^3＋, under 365 nm excitation. The excitation spectrum of 613 nm indicated that the Ba3Y2（BO3）n：Eu^3＋ phosphor was effectively excited by ultraviolet （UV） （254, 365 and 400 nm） and blue （470 nm） light. The effect of Eu^3＋ concentration on the 613 nm emission of the Ba3Y2（BO3）n：Eu^3＋ phosphor was measured. The results showed that the emission intensity increased with increasing Eu^3＋ concentration, and then decreased. The CIE color coordinates of Ba3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor were x=0.641 and y=0.359 at 15 mol.% Eu^3＋.

Preparation and Luminescence Behavior of CaSiO_3∶Eu^(3+)(Bi^(3+))

CaSiO3：Eu0.08^3＋Bi0.002^3＋ with a monoclinic perovskite structure was synthesized by using sol-gel method, and its luminescence characteristics were investigated. From the excitation spectrum, it can be seen that the main peaks located at 238,396,415,437 and 359 nm correspond to the charge-transfer band of Eu^3＋-O^2- , the absorption transitions of ^7F0.1→^3L6, ^7F0→^5D3, ^7F1→^5D3 of Eu^3＋ ions, and ^3P1→^1S0 of Bi^3＋ ions, respectively. When the samples were excited with a light of wavelength 359 or 395 nm, it can be seen from the emission spectrum that the electronic dipole transition located at 609 nm corresponding to ^5D0→^7F2 of Eu^3＋ ions was stronger than the magnetic dipole transition located at 587 nm corresponding to ^5D0→^7F1 of Eu^3＋ ions, which shows that more Eu^3＋ ions were located in nonreversion center lattices. The energy transfer from Bi^3＋ ions to Eu^3＋ ions in the phosphor was also discussed. The results show that Eu^3＋ ions could be well sensitized by ^3＋ions, and the energy-transfer pattern between Bi^3＋ ions and Eu^3＋ ions was resonance energy transfer.

Eu3＋ activated Ca4Yt（SiO4）60 phosphors were prepared by combustion synthesis method, and their morphologies and lu- minescent properties were investigated. Field scanning electron microscopy （FSEM） confirmed that the crystallite sizes of nanoparti- cles with narrow diameter ranging from 30 to 60 rim. The excitation spectra of CaaY6（SiO4）60：Etl3＋ showed that there existed two strong excitation bands at around 399 nm （TFo----~SL6） and 469 nm （TF0---＊SD2）, which were consistent with the output wavelengths of near-UV and blue LEDs, respectively. The emission spectra of Ca4Y6（SiO4）60：Eu3＋ were dominant by a red peak located at 614 nm due to the 5Do→7TF2 transition of Eu3＋. With the increase of Eu3＋concentration, the luminescence intensity of the red phosphor reached maximum and then decreased. The optimum concentration for Eug＋in Ca4Y6（SiO4）60 was 21 mol.%.

Polypropylene composite nonwovens containing rare-earth strontium aluminates Sr Al2O4：Eu2＋,Dy3＋ and functional additives were fabricated by the spun-bonded technique.The optical properties, morphology and mechanical properties of the samples were characterized.Results from scanning electron microscopy photographs（SEM） indicated that the surface of the fiber was destroyed by the addition of rare earth luminescent materials lightly but the thickness of the fiber was uniform.Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that pure polypropylene has the double crystallization peak at 162.3 and 165.1 °C.Studies from X-ray diffraction showed that the nonwoven prepared with the luminescent materials contained the α-monoclinic crystal and β crystalline phase.Furthermore, the afterglow properties were tested, which showed that the afterglow curve of the luminous nonwoven was similar to that of strontium aluminate, and the intensity was more intensive than luminous nonwoven at the beginning.The nonwoven fabricated with the luminescent material did not affect the crystal lattice of the polymer making the materials have potential applications in fluorescent lamps and field emission displays（FEDs）.
