The transmission electron microscope image reveals that the hybrid spheres have smooth surfaces and an average diameter of about 210 nm. Fluorescence spectrometer was used to analyze the fluorescence properties of hybrid spheres. The results show that multiple energy transfer processes are simultaneously achieved in the same samples co-doped with Eu (TTFA)3 and Sm(TTFA)3, namely between the ligand and Eu^3+ ion, the ligand and Sm^3+ ion, and Sm^3+ ion and Eu^3+ ion. Energy transfer of Sm^3+→Eu^3+ in the hybrid spheres leads to fluorescence enhancement of Eu^3+ emission by approximately an order of magnitude. The lifetimes of the hybrid spheres were also measured.展开更多

A novel material of LiMgPO4:Tb,Sm,B was prepared by solid-state diffusion method at 900 oC. The structure and optical properties of these phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction, fluorescence spectro?photometer, and OSL reader. The results showed that the full discrimination between the stimulation and emission spectra made them very fit for the optic-fibre dosimetry. The OSL vs. dose response was linear in the dose range of 0.1 to 216 Gy. It also showed a significant improvement in the stimulation time compared with LiMgPO4:Tb,B. Hence, the phosphor could be used in the real-time dosimeter based on the OSL technology for medical monitoring as well as for environmental dosimetry and space dosimetry.展开更多
