The XRD pattem shows the host phase of CaAl2O4 is produced and no impurity phase appears. The peak wavelength of the phosphor does not vary with La^3+ and Dy^3+ doping. It implies that the crystal field, which affects the 5d electron states of Eu^2+, is not changed dramatically after doping of La^3+ and Dy^3+. The TL spectra indicate that the phosphor doped with La^3+ or Dy^3+ produces different depths of trap energy level. In the mechanism of long afterglow luminescence, it is considered that La^3+ or Dy^3+ works as trap energy level. The decay time lies on the number of electrons in the trap energy level and the rate of the electrons returning to the excitation level.展开更多

The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The excitation spectrum, emission spectrum and long decay curve were measured and analyzed. XRD pattern indicates that phosphor is with Sr2MgSi2O7 crystal structure. The wide range of excitation wavelength indicates that luminescent material can be excited by light from ultraviolet ray to visible light. The main peak of emission spectrum is located at 466 nm. Sample excited by visible light can emit bright blue light, and the afterglow time lasts more than 8 h.展开更多

The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of XRD show that the single crystalline phase is α-SrAl_2O_4. According to the observation of SEM, the particles of the samples are needle-like. Compared with the samples synthesized by solid state reaction, the grain size of the sol-gel method is to nanometer grade. A clear blue shift occurs in the excitation and emission spectra. The blue shift in nanocrystalline SrAl_2O_4∶Eu, Dy phosphor can be attributed to the quantum-size-effect of the luminescent particles.展开更多

The photoluminescence spectra, decay curves, thermoluminescent spectra and chromaticity coordinate curves were investigated. The results show that the luminescence intensity of Y1.94-xMgxO2S :0.06Ti (0≤x≤0. 10) phosphors decrease gradually with increasing Mg2+ ion content, and the shape of luminescence spectra and chromaticity coordinate change as well. Furthermore, two thermoluminescent peaks in single Ti-doped Y2O2S sample are found at 91.8 and 221.5℃, respectively. Nevertheless, significant different spectra were found for the Mg, Ti co-doped Y2O2S samples that three thermoluminescence peaks appear at 52.3, 141.7 and 226.8℃, respectively. These results indicate that the co-doped Mg ion changes the inherent trap depth of single Ti-doped Y2O2S: Ti phosphor, and induces simultaneously a new trap level in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor. Based on the analysis of thermoluminescent spectra, photolumi-nescent spectra, decay curve and crystal structure defect, it was proposed that the varied structure defect and introduced new trap level by the doped Mg2+ ions should be responsible for reducing luminescence intensity and varying color in the Y1.94-x Mgx O2S : 0.06Ti phosphor.展开更多

XRD patterns of samples indicate that phosphors CaAl2O4:Eu^2+, Dy^3+ and SrAl2O4 : Eu^2+, Dy^3+ are with monoelinie crystal structure and phosphor BaAl2O4:Eu^2+ , Dy^3+ is with hexagonal crystal structure. The wide range of excitation spectrum of phosphors MAl2O4: Eu^2 + , Dy^3+ (M = Ca,Sr, Ba) indicates that the luminescent materials can he excited by light from ultraviolet ray to visible light and the maximum emission wavelength of phosphors MAl2O4:Eu^2+ , Dy^3+ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) is found mainly at λem of 440 nm (M = Ca), 520 nm (M = Sr) and 496 nm (M = Ba) respectively, the corresponding colors of emission light are blue, green and eyna-green respectively. The afterglow decay tendency of phosphors can he summarized as three processes: initial rapid decay, intermediate transitional decay and very long slow decay. Afterglow decay curves coincide with formula I = At^ - n, and the sequence of afterglow intensity and time is Sr 〉 Ca 〉 Ba.展开更多

The phosphors nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence spectrophotometer techniques. The results reveal that the samples are composed of single Sr3Al2O6 phase. The resultant nanoparticles show small size (80?100 nm) and spherical shape. The excitation and emission spectra indicate that excitation broad band chiefly lies in visible range and the nanoparticles emit much strong light at 612 nm under around 473 nm excitation. And the long afterglow phosphorescence of Sr3Al2O6 doped with Eu2+ was observed in the dark with naked eye after the removal of the excitation light. The effect of Eu2+ doping concentrations of the samples on the emission intensity is studied systematically. Furthermore, the microwave method requires a very short heating-time and the energy consumption.展开更多

Their excitation and emission spectra at different excitation and afterglow characteristics were analyzed after the excitation power was taken off. The effects of Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ , Nd 3+ mole concentrations on phosphorescence characteristics were also discussed. It is crucial to have trapping levels located at a suitable depth related to the thermal release rate at room temperature. The incorporation of Nd 3+ ions as an auxiliary activator into the SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ system causes very intense and long phosphorescence. The response time of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphors is quicker than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ . Phosphorescence characteristics of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+, Nd 3+ is much better than those of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ . The integrate area of the excitation spectrum of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor is larger than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphor within the range of 250~360 nm. For phosphorescence characteristics to the system of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor, the optimum concentration of Nd 3+ trivalent rare earth ions is 0.05 mol.展开更多

The SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors were initially prepared by the solid reaction method. Three kinds of glass frits were prepared to match the SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors. Effects of the compositions of the glass frits, the ratios of the phosphors to the frits us well us the firing temperature and firing times on the properties of the samples were discussed. XRD analysis indicated the samples exhibited the typical diffraction peaks of SrAlwO4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+. The emission spectra of the samples showed broad bands peaking at 510nm.The excitation spectra of the samples showed broad bands ranging from 300 to 480hm. These are believed due to the 5d4f-4f transitions of Eu^2+ in the SrAl2O4: Eu^2+, Dy^3+ phosphors. The afterglow luminescence of the samples excited by a 40W fluorescence lamp for 30min can be observed in the dark for more lOh with the naked eyes. It can find wide applications in many fields.展开更多

After the surface amination, the nanoparticles were further bioconjugated with breast cancer-specific monoclonal antibody(anti-Ep CAM) to form ZGG-Ep CAM nanoprobes which can specifically target breast cancer cell lines(MCF7) in vitro. The results of in vitro images show that the luminescence signals from the cells treated with ZGG-Ep CAM nanoprobes are stronger than those from cells treated with ZGG-unconjugated antibody, indicating that the prepared ZGG-Ep CAM nanoprobes possessed excellent specific recognition capability. Furthermore, due to their long afterglow properties, the imaging could persist more than 1 h. Therefore, these nanoprobes could not only provide a high specificity detection method for cancer cells but also realize the long-time monitoring. Developed near-infrared emitting long-persistence luminescent nanoprobes will be expected to find new perspectives for cell therapy research and diagnosis applications.展开更多
