Luminescence Characterization of Mg Doped Y_2O_2S:Ti Long Afterglow Phosphor

Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti (0≤x≤0.10) phosphors with long afterglow were synthesized by solid state reaction route. 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.

Synthesis of Long Afterglow Phosphors MAl_2O_4∶Eu^(2+), Dy~ (3+)(M=Ca, Sr, Ba) by Microemulsion Method and Their Luminescent Properties

Long afterglow phosphors MAl2O4：Eu^2＋ , Dy^3＋ （M = Ca, Sr, Ba） were synthesized by microemulsion method, and their crystal structure and luminescent properties were compared and investigated. 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.

The Fabrication and Properties of a Blue Long Afterglow Phosphor

The Eu 2+ and Dy 3+ codoped Sr 2MgSi 2O 7: Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ blue emission long afterglow phosphor was synthesized and its photoluminescence properties were studied. It is known with the measurement method of X ray diffraction pattern that the luminescent material is an akermanite crystal. It is shown with the decay curve that its afterglow properties are better than the traditional (Ca,Sr)S:Bi blue long afterglow phosphor. Its decay curve is in accordance with the calculated results of the formula lg I=A+B 1 ×lg t +B 2×(lg t ) 2. Ther moluminescence spectra identified the existence of long afterglow luminescence. The excitation and emission spectra and microstructure of the phosphor were also investigated in detail.

Enhancement of luminescence and afterglow in Ca_(0.8)Zn_(0.2)TiO_3:Pr^(3+) by Nb^(5+) substitution for Ti^(4+)

Nb5＋ doped Ca0.8Zn0.2TiO3：Pr3＋ red long afterglow phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction methods. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectroscopy and thermally stimulated spectrometry were used to investigate the effects of Nb5＋ content on the crystal characteristics and luminescent properties of Ca0.8Zn0.2Ti1-xNbxO3：Pr3＋ phosphors. The results showed that the addition of a small quantity of Nb5＋ had negligible effect on the crystal characteristics of Ca0.8Zn0.2Ti1-xNbxO3：Pr3＋, but it could change the trapping parameters （the depth of trap, frequency factors and the concentration of trapped charges at t=0） of Ca0.8Zn0.2Ti1-xNbxO3：Pr3＋ phosphors, and then led to the enhance-ment of red fluorescence and phosphorescence at 612 nm originating from 1D2→3H4 transition of Pr3＋. Both of the red fluorescence intensity and afterglow time reached the largest values in the sample of Ca0.8Zn0.2Ti1-xNbxO3：Pr3＋ with x=0.05. The afterglow time of Ca0.8Zn0.2Ti0.95Nb0.05O3：Pr3＋ phosphors lasted for over 24 min （≥1 mcd/m2） when the excited source was cut off.

Hydrothermal preparation and persistence characteristics of nanosized phosphor SrS:Eu^(2+),Dy^(3+)

Nanosized long-persistent phosphors SrS：Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ were prepared by the hydrothermal method.The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and charge-coupled device spectrometry.The persistence characteristic was studied using the decay curves.The results showed that the emission intensity decreased sharply with temperature increasing, although the particle size increased.The S2-vacancies caused by oxidization served as shallow traps, and Dy3＋ served as deep traps in SrS：Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋.The afterglow intensity of SrS：Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ was higher than that of SrS：Eu2＋ prepared at the same temperature.However, the minimization span of initial afterglow with temperature for the former sample was larger than that for the latter.Binary-doped phosphor decayed more slowly than the singly doped one.The afterglow of SrS：Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ decayed more quickly with the increase of sintering temperature.

Effect of H_3BO_3 on the phase stability and long persistence properties of Sr_(3.96)Al_(14)O_(25):Eu_(0.01)^(2+), Dy_(0.02)^(3+) phosphor

Sr3.96Al14025：Eu2＋,Dy3＋ long persistent materials with different weights of H3BO3 prepared by the high temper- ature solid-state reaction method were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, scanning electronic microscopy （SEM）, photoluminescence spectra （PL）, and thermoluminescence （TL）. The results of XRD indicate that the 3% addition of H3BO3 favorable for the formation of pure phase Sr4Al14025, and SrAl12O19 was generated when there is a low con- tent or high content of H3BO3. The average grain sizes of samples grow bigger with an increase of H3BO3. PL spectra show that the emission peak does not shift evidently and the emission intensity changes little, indicating that the different amount of H3BO3 has little influence on the crystal field. The decay characteristics and TL measurement show that H3BO3 affects the afterglow properties of Sr3.96Al14025：Eu2＋,Dy3＋, because the increasing H3BO3 leads to more defects in the Sr4Al14025 matrix.

Tracing mechanism of optically and thermally stimulated luminescence in Lu2O3:Tb,M（M=Hf,Zr,Ti）ceramic storage phosphors

A series of energy storage phosphors,Lu2O3:Tb,M(M=Hf,Zr,Ti),were investigated by means of photoand thermoluminescence techniques to compare the effect of the co-dopant from the same group of periodic table of elements on charge carriers trapping capability and trap parameters.Most of the investigated processes were tracked individually for the Tb3+in the two different metal sites offered by the Lu2O3 host-noncentrosymmetric C2 and centrosymmetric C3i.It is proved that both Tb3+ions participate in hole trapping and electrons are immobilized in traps whose depths are defined by the codopant.Deepest traps,~1.79 eV,appear upon Ti addition,while Zr and Hf generate traps of very similar,~1.40-1.44 eV,depths.The stored energy may be released not only by means of thermal stimulation but also upon the impact of optical photons.Light from the 390-430 nm range of wavelengths was found the most efficient in the latter process.Also deep red radiation of 780 nm releases most of the trapped electrons in Zr/Hf co-doped ceramics but is much less effective in the case of Tb,Ti material.Consistent scheme of electronic levels engaged in charge carriers trapping and subsequent generation of thermoand optically stimulated luminescence was constructed.

Synthesis of M1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+x/Dy3+ 2x(M^2+= Sr^2+, Ca^2+ and Ba^2+) phosphors with long-lasting phosphorescence properties via co-precipitation method

The long afterglow fluorescent material of M1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+2x(M2+= Sr2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors are successfully synthesized by calcining precursor obtained via co-precipitation method at 1300oC for 4 h with reducing atmosphere (20% H2 and 80% N2). The phase evolution, morphology and afterglow fluorescent properties are systematically studied by the various instruments of XRD, FE-SEM, PLE/PL spectroscopy and fluorescence decay analysis. The PL spectra shows that the Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors display vivid green emission at s519 nm (4f65d1!4f7 transition of Eu2+) with monitoring of the maximum excitation wavelength at s334 nm (8S7=2!6IJ transition of Eu2+), among which the optimal concentration of Eu2+ and Dy3+ is 15 at.% and 30 at.%, respectively. The color coordinates and temperature of Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors are approximately at (s0.27, s0.57) and s6700 K, respectively. On the above basis, the M0:55Al2O4:Eu2+ 0:15/Dy3+ 0:3 (M2+= Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors is obtained by the same method. The PL spectra of these phosphors shows the strongest blue emission at s440 nm and cyan emission at s499 nm under s334 nm wavelength excitation, respectively, which are blue shifted comparing to Sr1??3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors. The color coordinates and temperatures of M0:55Al2O4:Eu2+ 0:15/Dy3+ 0:3 (M2+= Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors are approximately at (s0.18, s0.09), s2000 K and (s0.18, s0.42), s11600 K, respectively. In this work, long afterglow materials of green, blue and cyan aluminates phosphors with excellent properties have been prepared, in order to obtain wide application in the field of night automatic lighting and display.

Twisted Phosphors that Violate Kasha's Exciton Model in Organic Systems

Kasha's exciton model proposes that T1 energy levels of organic compounds are insensitive to molecular aggregation and microenvironment change because of negligible small transition dipole moments of T1 states.This model holds true in most organic systems till now.Here we report the fabrication of twisted organic phosphors with intramolecular charge transfer characters and flexible molecular structures.When doped into different organic matrices,the twisted phosphor adopts different conformation,exhibits distinct phosphorescence colors and T1 energy levels,which violates Kasha's exciton model in organic system.Given that the change of phosphorescence colors and maxima can be readily distinguished by human eyes and conventional instrument,the twisted phosphors would be exploited as a new type of molecular probe,which would exhibit potential application in optical sensing and stimuli-responsive systems.

Luminescence Properties of Rare Earth Ions in Cadmium Metasilicate

The luminescence properties of CdSio(3):RE3+ phosphors doped with various rare earth ions are reported. The series of rare earth ions doped CdSiO3 phosphors are prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method, and characterized by XRD and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The results of XRD measurement indicate that the products fired under 1050 degreesC for 3 h have a good crystallization without any detectable amount of impure phase. The PL spectra measurement results show that CdSiO3 is a novel self-activated luminescent matrix. When rare earth ions such as Y3+, La3+, Gds(3+), Lus(3+), Ce3+, Nd3+, Ho3+, Era(3+), Tm3+ and Yb3+ are introduced into the CdSi03 host, one broadband centered at about 420 nm resulted from traps can be observed. In the case of other earth ions which show emissions at the visible spectrum region, such as Pr3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Tb3+ and Dy3+, the mixture of their characteristic line emissions with the similar to 420 nm strong broadband luminescence results in various emitting colors. As a consequence, different emitting colors can be attairied via introducing certain appropriate active ions into the CdSiO3 matrix. In additional, this kind of phosphors shows good long-lasting properties when excited by UV light. All the results show that CdSiO3 is a potential luminance matrix.

Optical studies of Y3（Al,Ga）5O12:Ce3+,Cr3+,Nd3+ nano-phosphors obtained by the Pechini method

The Y3(AI,Ga)5O12:Ce^3+,Cr^3+,Nd^3+(YAGG)nano-phosphors with homogeneous particle-size distribution,low aggregation and average crystalline size of about 65 nm were obtained using a modified Pechini method.Only slight aggregation of the crystallites occurs after post-annealing at 1100℃.The intense Ce^3+bands in the excitation spectra of the Ce^3+,Cr^3+,Nd^3+co-doped materials monitoring the Cr^3+emission at 690 nm indicate energy transfer from Ce^3+to Cr^3+.Weak Nd^3+lines are observed,as well.In addition,the emission of Nd^3+at 1060 nm with excitation of Ce^3+and Cr^3+confirms the Ce^3+/Cr^3+to Nd^3+energy transfer.The short average luminescence decay times for the Ce^3+emission indicate the Ce^3+/Cr^3+to Nd^3+energy transfer.Eventually,the Y3(AI,Ga)5O12:Ce^3+,Cr^3+,Nd^3+nano-phosphors exhibit persistent luminescence originating from the 4f^3→4f^3 transitions of Nd^3+which matches well to the first biological window to be used in bioimaging applications.

Interaction of Rare Earth Ions in Sr2MgSi2O7：Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋ Material

To discuss the function of Eu and Dy and their interaction in Sr2 Mg Si2O7：Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋ long afterglow material,the Eu and Dy single doped and their co-doped Sr2 Mg Si2O7：Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋ were prepared.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,decay curves,photoluminescence（PL）,and thermoluminescence（TL）.The results indicate that Sr2 Mg Si2O7：Eu has afterglow properties,and the doping of Eu ion in Sr2 Mg Si2O7：Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋ can lower the depth of traps.Eu ion can not only serve as luminescence center,but also produce traps in the matrix,meanwhile,it also exerts certain influences on the traps produced by Dy in Sr2 Mg Si2O7：Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋.The Dy ion can not act as luminescence center but relates to the change of the traps in the Sr2 Mg Si2O7 matrix.

Tb^(3+)在MO(M=Ca,Sr)中的长余辉发光

Luminescence of Tb3+ doped MO (M=Ca,Sr) were investigated. Photoluminescence of MO:Tb3+ (M=Ca, Sr) is due to the 5D4,3-7FJ transitions of Tb3+ ions. Under UV light irradiation, the strongest luminescence peak of SrO:Tb3+ located at 543 nm while the CaO:Tb3+ located at 550 nm. Long-lasting phosphorescence of MO:Tb3+ (M= Ca,Sr) were also observed with naked eye even after the 254 nm UV irradiation have been removed. Thermolumi- nescence (TL) spectra revealed that the incorporation of the Tb3+ formed a highly dense trapping level located at a suitable depth in relation to the thermal release rate at RT to creat the long-lasting phosphorescence.
