The excitation spectrum showed two broad bands in the range of 100-300 nm: one was the host lattice absorption with the maxima at 160 nm and the other was Ba-O absorption overlapped with the CT band of Eu^3+, which indicated that the energy of the host lattice absorption could be efficiently transferred to the Eu^3+. The overlapped bands were tended to separate when monitored by different wavelength, which indicated that at least two Ba^2+ sites were available in BaB8O13. The emissions of Eu^3+ (612 nm) and Eu^2+ (405 nm) were both observed in the emission spectra of BaB8O13:Eu^3+ under the excitation of either 254 or 147 nm. With the doping concentration of Eu^3+ increasing, the 612 nm emission was enhanced while 405 nm emission was decreased under 254 nm excitation, which was due to the persistent energy transfer from Eu^2+ to Eu^3+. While under 147 nm excitation, the 612 nm emission was quenched and the 405 nm emission was enhanced. It was concluded that the preferential excitation of Eu^2+ under 147 nm excitation was one of the reasons for this facts.展开更多
