Luminescent properties of Lu_2MoO_6:Eu^(3+) red phosphor for solid state lighting

The Eu^3＋ activated Lu2MoO6 phosphors were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction （XRD）, excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay lifetime of the phosphors were measured to characterize the structure and luminescent properties. The XRD results show that all the prepared phosphors can be assigned to the monoclinic structure. The experimental results indicate efficient absorption of near ultraviolet light from the Mo^6＋O^2- group followed by intensive emission in the visible spectral range. The optimal content of Eu3＋ is 10% （mole fraction）. The critical distance Rc and energy transfer mechanism were also discussed in detail. This red emitting material may be applied as a promising red phosphor for the near ultraviolet excited white light emitting diodes.

Luminescent properties of Ca_2SiO_4:Eu^(3+) red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu^3＋doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions： the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm （325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm） were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu^3＋. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of ^5D0-^7F2. In addition, the effects of the Eu^3＋ content and charge compensators of Li^＋, Na^＋, K^＋, and Cl^- ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.

Combustion Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of CaO: Eu^(3+), M^+ (M=Li, Na, K) Phosphor

Li ^＋ , Na^ ＋ , or K ^＋ co-doped CaO： Eu^3＋ phosphors were prepared by the combustion synthesis method and characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, photoluminescence and photolumi-nescence excitation （PL-PLE） spectra. The experimental results show that, upon excitation with 250 nm xenon light, the emission spectrum of the CaO： Eu^3＋ consists of 4f-4f emission transitions from the 5D0 excited level to the 7FJ （J=1, 2, 3） levels with the mainly electric dipole transition 5D0→7F2 of Eu3＋, indicating that the Eu^3＋ occupies a low symmetry. The charge-transfer band （CTB） shows somewhat red shift with the decreasing ionic radii of co-doped alkali metal ions. The PL and PLE intensities are significantly enhanced, especially the strongest intensity of luminescent is CaO： Eu^3＋, Li ＋ phosphor, when alkali metal ions are incorporated. The strongest peak of emission is slightly shifted from 614 to 593 nm, indicating that the Eu^3＋ ion locates in a symmetric position （Oh） when alkali metal ions are incorporated.

A series of SrIn2 O4 ：Eu^3＋ phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid-state method, and their luminescent properties are investigated. They can be excited by 395-nm radiation, and produce red emission （619 nm）; however, they have a low absorption of near-ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 400nm–405 nm. When co-doped with A^＋ （A=Li, Na, K）, the emission intensity of SrIn2O4 ：Eu^3＋ is significantly enhanced, but its emission and excitation spectral profile is unchanged. With co-doping Sm^3＋ , not only is the emission intensity of SrIn2 O4 ：Eu^3＋ enhanced, but also the absorption is broadened and strengthened in the range of 400 nm–405nm. The effect of Sm^3＋ -doped content on the emission intensity of SrIn2O4 ：Eu^3＋ , Sm^3＋ is investigated, and the optimal Sm^3＋ content is 0.02 mol.

Thermally enhanced photoluminescence and temperature sensing properties of Sc2W3O12:Eu3+ phosphors

Recently, lanthanide-ion-doped luminescent materials have been extensively used as optical thermometry probes due to their fast responses, non-contact, and high sensitivity properties. Based on different responses of two emissions to temperature, the fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) technique can be used to estimate the sensitivities for assessing the optical thermometry performances. In this study, we introduce different doping concentrations of Eu^(3+) ions into negative thermal expansion material Sc2W3O12to increase the thermal-enhanced luminescence from 373 K to 548 K, and investigate the temperature sensing properties in detail. All samples can exhibit their good luminescence behaviors thermally enhanced.The emission intensity of Sc2W3O12:6-mol% Eu3+phosphor reaches 147.8% of initial intensity at 473 K. As the Eu3+doping concentration increases, the resistance of the sample to thermal quenching decreases. The FIR technique based on each of the transitions 5D→7F_(1)(592 nm) and 5D→7F_(2)(613 nm) of Eu3+ions demonstrates a maximum relative temperature sensitivity of 3.063% K-1at 298 K for Sc_(2)W_(3)O_(12):6-mol% Eu3+phosphor. The sensitivity of sample decreases with the increase of Eu3+concentration. Benefiting from the thermal-enhanced luminescence performance and good temperature sensing properties, the Sc_(2)W_(3)O_(12):Eu^(3+)phosphors can be used as optical thermometers.

Luminescent properties of BaO-La_2O_3-B_2O_3 glasses with dopant

The luminescent properties of glasses synthesized in air atmosphere by conventional high temperature process were studied. The emissions spectra of Eu2+ and Eu3+ were observed in BaO-La2O3-B2O3-Eu2O3 glasses. The results show that the broad emission peaks at 430 nm correspond to 5d→4f emission transition of Eu2+, the sharp emission peaks at 592, 616, 650 and 750 nm correspond to 5D0→7Fj（j=1-4） emission transition of Eu3+, respectively, which indicates that the BaO-La2O3-B2O3-Eu2O3 glass can convert ultraviolet and green components of sunlight into blue and red light so as to increase the intensity of blue and red light, respectively. The luminescent intensity of Eu2+ increases with increasing the molar ratio of Tb3+ in BaO-La2O3-B2O3-Eu2O3-Tb4O7 glasses, whereas the luminescent intensity of Eu3+ decreases. So the luminescent intensity of Eu（III, II） is influenced by Tb3+. These phenomena can be explained by electron transfer mechanism: Eu3+（4f6）+Tb3+（4f8）→Eu2+（4f7）+Tb4+（4f7）. Taking advantage of the luminescent properties of BaO-La2O3-B2O3-Eu2O3 glasses, light-conversion glass for agriculture can be produced.
