It is possible that the excitation states of Gd 3+ locate in the conduction band of PbWO 4 crystal. The luminescent intensity of the green and the blue band of PbWO 4 emission increases by doping with about 0 005% and 0 01% (molar fraction) Gd 3+ respectively. Mechanism of this enhancement of PbWO 4∶Gd 3+ luminescence is probably due to energy transfer from Gd 3+ to PbWO 4 host in the crystal. The PbWO 4 doped with low concentration of Gd (about 0 005%~0 01%) is a good scintillating material.展开更多

The structure of the materials was characterized by TG-DTA and IR analysis, and the results indicate that the materials were in SiO2 network structure. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra was used to characterize the luminescent properties of the materials. The luminescence property of doped and un-doped Eu3+or Tb3+ and Na2WO4 in silica materials were prepared and measured. The results show that good energy transfer from WO2-4 to Eu3+ ion, sensitized the luminescence intensity of Eu3+ remarkably. Tb3+ ion incorporated silica materials expressed the inverse energy transition from Tb3+ to WO2-4, however, we got the materials with homogeneous green blue fluorescent light. Finally, the energy transfer of WO2-4 and Eu3+, WO2-4 and Tb3+ were explained by energy levels diagram.展开更多

Successful codoping of Mg^(2+)ions in upconversion nanoparticles(UCNPs) was supported by XRD, SEM, EDS, and PL analyses. The effects of Mg^(2+)doping on the morphology and the intensity of the upconversion(UC) emission were discussed in detail. It turned out that with the concentration of Mg^(2+)increasing, the morphology of the nanoparticles turn to change gradually and the UC emission was increasing gradually as well. Notably the UC fluorescence intensities of Er^(3+)were gradually improved owing to the codoped Mg^(2+)and then achieved a maximum level as the concentration of Mg^(2+)ions was 60 mol% from the amendment of the crystal structure of β-NaGdF_4:Yb^(3+),Er^(3+)nanoparticles. Moreover, the UC luminescence properties of the rare-earth(Yb3+, Er^(3+)) ions codoped NaGdF_4 nanocrystals were investigated in detail under 980-nm excitation.展开更多
