The crystalline phase and luminescence performances of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+),Ag~+ were observed by X-ray powder diffractometer(XRD), transmission electron microscope(TEM), photoluminescence spectrometer and brightness meter, respectively. The addition of Ag~+ can diminish in the crystal particle sizes of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+). Because Ag+ can reduce the concentration of the undesirable defects in the phosphor, luminescence intensity of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+),Ag~+ is 2.3 times as high as that of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+)at the same preparation condition. The effect of Ag+ on the persistent afterglow properties is to deepen the energy storage traps and enhance the energy transfer efficiency from Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3 to Pr^(3+). The persistent afterglow properties of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+),Ag~+ are better than those of Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+) at the same preparation condition. In conclusion,Ca_(0.9)Mg_(0.1)TiO_3:Pr^(3+),Ag~+ phosphor with molar ratio of Ag~+to Pr^(3+) 3:1 obtained at 900 ℃ for 4 h exhibits the optimal photoluminescence performances.展开更多
