Optical transmission spectrum, photoluminescence and time resolved photoluminescence spectra at different temperatures are investigated. It is found that optical transmittance is as high as 80% between 320 nm and 600 nm, and no obvious absorption band is found in this region. Emission intensity and decay time of photoluminescence are quite stable with the change of the temperature between 80 K and 500 K. No thermal quenching is present up to 500 K, and decay time keeps at 17±2 ns. With the increase of the temperature, the whole emission bands and excitation bands present broadening and overlapping, leading to the strengthening of re-absorption of the Ce^3+ emission, which makes the emission spectra have a red shift trend.展开更多

The temperature dependent characteristics of luminescent spectrum and decay time of Ce3+ are investigated. With Si4+ doped, the emission spectrum shows a blue shift clue to a decrease of the splitting of 5d levels of Ce3+ ion. The thermal stability is greatly improved by adding Si4+ because the activation energy AE increases from 0.1836 eV to 0.2401 eV. The study of the decay times against temperature for various doping concentrations of Si4+ shows that the calculated nonradiative decay rate is affected by Si4+ substitution. The results are explained by the configurational coordinate diagram.展开更多
