Calculation results showed that the bands of BAM:Eu2+ were of low band energy dispersion, indicating large joint density of states, hence high performance of optical absorption and luminescence. BAM:Eu^2+ showed stronger absorption intensity while Eu^2+ occupied the BR sites instead of the mO sites. The concentration of Eu^2+ at BR sites increased while that at mO sites decreased after Si-N doping. The influence of the variation of Eu^2+ distribution on the spectra was stronger than the influence of the decrease of Eu^2+ PDOS when SiN concentration was lower than 0.25, therefore the absorption and luminescence intensity of BAM:Eu^2+ were enhanced. Mulliken population of Si-N bond was higher than A1-O bond, while that of Eu-N bond was higher than Eu-O bond as well, indicating that Si-N bonds and Eu-N bonds possessed higher covalence than Al-O bonds and Eu-N bonds respectively. The existence of Si-N bonds and Eu-N bonds enhanced the local covalence of Eu^2+, hence the optical stability of BAM:Eu^2+.展开更多
Single phase of Ba1-x MgAl10O17 : x Eu^2+ (0.02≤ x ≤ 0. 14) phosphors was first successfully prepared by coprecipitation in aqueous medium with a “reverse strike” method, using oxalic acid and ammonia together...Single phase of Ba1-x MgAl10O17 : x Eu^2+ (0.02≤ x ≤ 0. 14) phosphors was first successfully prepared by coprecipitation in aqueous medium with a “reverse strike” method, using oxalic acid and ammonia together as precipitants. Completely crystallized phosphors were obtained at 1300 ℃, which is 300 ℃ lower than the temperature of solid-state reaction. Their photoluminescence was investigated under UV and VUV region, respectively. The emission spectra of Ba1-x MgAl10O17:xEu^2+ samples excited by 254 or 147 nm showed a characteristic wide band with the peak centred at about 450 454 nm. Optimum emission intensity reached at x = 0.1 and then concentration quenching occurred. The synthesized phosphor shows 10% higher emission intensity than that prepared by solid-state reaction.展开更多
