Tunable emission,concentration quenching and crystallographic sites of Eu^2＋ in Sr3Y（PO4）3

A series of Sr3Y（PO4）3：Eu^2＋ samples are synthesized by the high temperature solid-state method. Sr3Y（PO4）3：Eu^2＋shows an asymmetrical emission band under excitation of 350 nm. The emission peaks at 426 nm and 497 nm are assigned to the nine-coordination Eu^2＋ and six-coordination Eu^2＋, respectively. The effects of Eu^2＋ doping content on the emission intensity and color are observed, and the concentration quenching effect is also observed. For two different Eu^2＋ luminescence centers, the quenching mechanisms are dipole-dipole interaction and quadrupole-quadrupole interaction, respectively. And the critical distance of energy transfer is calculated by concentration quenching and turns out to be about 3.67 nm. The results above show that the asymmetrical emission band of Sr3Y（PO4）3：Eu^2＋ comes from two different Eu2＋ luminescence centers in the lattice.     

Luminescent properties of Tm^3＋/ Ho^3＋ co-doped LiYF4 crystals

Ho^3＋ with various concentrations and Tm^3＋ with molar concentration of 1.28% are co-doped in Li YF4（YLF） single crystals. The luminescent properties of the crystals are investigated through emission spectra, emission cross section and decay curves under the excitation of 808 nm. The energy transfer from Tm^3＋ to Ho^3＋ and the optimum fluorescence emission of Ho^3＋ around 2.05 μm are investigated. The emission intensity at 2.05 μm keeps increasing with the molar concentration of Ho^3＋ improved from 0.50% to 1.51% when the molar concentration of Tm^3＋ is kept at 1.28%. Moreover, for the co-doped crystals in which the molar concentrations of Tm^3＋ and Ho^3＋ are 1.28% and 1.51%, respectively, the maximum emission cross section reaches 0.760×10^-20 cm^2 and the maximum fluorescence lifetime is 21.98 ms. All the parameters suggest that these materials have more advantages in the future 2.0 μm laser applications.     

White light emission from Dy3+-doped LiLuF4 single crystal grown by Bridgman method

Lithium lutetium fluoride （LiLuF4） single crystals doped with different Dy3＋ ion concentrations were grown by Bridgman method. The Judd-Ofelt （J-O） strength parameters （Ω2, Ω4, Ω6） of Dy3＋ in LiLuF4 crystal are calculated according to the measured absorption spectra and the J-O theory, by which the asymmetry of the Dy3＋：LiLuF4 single crystal and the possibility of attaining stimulated emission from 4F9/2 level are analyzed. The capability of the Dy3＋：LiLuF4 crystal in generating white light by simultaneous blue and yellow emissions under excitation with ultra- violet light is produced. The effects of excitation wavelength and doping concentration on chromaticity coordinates and photoluminescence intensity are also investigated. Favorable CIE coordinates, x=0.319 3 and y=0.349 3, can be obtained for Dy3＋ ion in 2.701% molar doping concentration under excitation of 350 nm.     

Optical properties of Eu3＋, Dy3＋ co-doped ZnO nanocrystals

ZnO nanocrystals doped with trivalent europium ions （Eu3＋） and dysprosium ions （Dy3＋） were synthesized by the pre- cipitation method. The structural and optical properties of the samples are investigated by the X-ray diffraction （XRD） and photoluminescence （PL）. The results show that rare earth ions are incorporated into the lattice of ZnO, and the combination of blue, green and red emissions can be obtained. Specially, the emission can be obtained even under the nonresonant excitation of 320 nm, which is explained based on the energy transfer. The concentration quenching mechanism is also presented in this paper.     

Organic light-emitting devices based on new rare earth complex Tb（p-CIBA）3phen

A new rare earth complex Tb（p-CIBA）3phen was synthesized and introduced into organic tight emitting devices （OLEDs） as emitting material. The Tb（p-CIBA）3phen was doped into PVK to improve the filmforming and hole-transporting property. Two kinds of devices were fabricated. The device structure is as the following. Single-layer device： ITO/PVK： Tb （p-CIBA） 3 phen /LiF/Al; double-layer device： ITO/PVK： Tb（p-CIBA）3phen/AIQ/LiF/AI. The performances of both devices were investigated carefully. We found that the emission of PVK was completely restrained,and only the green emission was observed from the electroluminescence. The full width at half maximum （FWHM） was less than 10 nm. The highest EL brighthess of the single-layer device is 25.4 cd/cm^2 at a fixed bias of 18 V,and the highest EL brightness of the double-layer device reaches 234.8 cd/cm^2 at a voltage of 20 V.     

非刻意掺杂4H-SiC同质外延中的深能级缺陷

Unintentionally doped 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers grown by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition （HWCVD） have been studied using photoluminescence （PL） technique in the temperature range of 10 to 240 K. A broadband green luminescence has been observed. Vacancies of carbon （Vc） are revealed by electron spin resonance （ESR） technique at 110 K. The results strongly suggest that the green band luminescence, as shallow donor-deep accepter emission, is attributed to the vacancies of C and the extended defects. The broadband green luminescence spectrum can be fitted by the two Gauss-type spectra using nonlinear optimization technique. It shows that the broad-band green luminescence originates from the combination of two independent radiative transitions. The centers of two energy levels are located 2.378 and 2.130 eV below the conduction band, respectively, and the ends of two energy levels are expanded and superimposed each other.     

ZnS微米晶须的制备和光致发光性质研究

ZnS whiskers were successfully synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method with the assistance of CuS micro-spheres. The composition, morphology and structure of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and the temperature-dependent photoluminescence （PL） spectrum over a temperature range from 10 to 250 K was studied. The results show that the as-synthesized ZnS whiskers have an average length of 0.3 mm and diameter of 2.5 μm with a cubic zinc-blende structure. There exist three emission bands in the blue, green and yellow regions, and the emission mechanism is discussed. As the temperature increases, the temperature-dependent PL spectrum shows anomalous behavior, where distinct inverted V-shaped characters of blue and green emission integrated intensity and an inconspicuous S-shape of blue emission peak energy are observed. The transition mechanism is discussed.     

Structure and spectroscopic properties of Er3+/Ce3+ co-doped TeO2-Bi2O3-TiO2 glasses modified with various WO3 contents for 1.53 μm emission

The Er^3＋/Ce^3＋ co-doped tellurite-based glasses （TeO2-Bi2O3-TiO2） modified with various WO3 contents are prepared using conventional melt-quenching technique. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns and Raman spectra of glass sam- ples are measured to investigate the structures. The absorption spectra, the up-conversion emission spectra, the 1.53 /am band fluorescence spectra and the lifetime of Er3＋：4113/2 level are measured, and the amplification quality factors of Er3＋ are calculated to evaluate the effect of WO3 contents on the 1.53 μm band spectroscopic properties. With the in- troduction of WO3, it is found that the prepared tellurite-based glasses maintain the amorphous structure, while the 1.53 μm band fluorescence intensity of Er3＋ is improved evidently, and the fluorescence full width at half maximum （FWHM） is broadened accordingly. In addition, the prepared tellurite-based glass samples have larger bandwidth qual- ity factor than silicate and germanate glasses. The results indicate that the prepared Er3＋/Ce3＋ co-doped tellurite-based glass with a certain amount of WO3 is an excellent gain medium applied for the 1.53 μm band Er3＋-doped fiber ampli- fier （EDFA）.     

High emission performance impregnated dispenser cathode

In order to obtain higher emission performance than that of a traditional M-type cathode, we have developed a new type impregnated dispenser cathode. The new cathode is impregnated with a new active substance with molar ratio of 26BaO·29SrO·8Sc2O3 ·7CaO·Al2O3 . This paper introduces the emission performance, surface active material, and work function of the new cathode. At 1100℃B , the DC current density and pulse current density are 30.6±1.0 A/cm2 and 171.6±2.8 A/cm2 , respectively, 2.1 and 5.4 times of that of an M-type cathode. The work function of the new cathode is 1.668± 0.002 eV. High concentration O-Al-Sc-Sr-Ba and O-Al-Sc-Ba are found in the pores and at pore edges, respectively. By comparing the emission performances and surface characteristics of as-polished and as-cleaned cathodes, it is proposed that, the emission around pore ends forms the major part of the total emission for the new cathodes.     

四角状氧化锌纳米结构的发光特性研究

The tetrapod ZnO nanostructures are synthesized on the Si （100） substrates using the chemical va- por deposition （CVD） method at 1000 ℃. Each nanostructure has four arms which are about 3-10 μm in length and 0.2-1.5 μm in diameter. Further analyses on structure demonstrate that the tetrapod ZnO nanostructures have single crystalline wurtzite hexagonal structure preferentially oriented in c-axis. The photoluminescence （PL） mea- surements of the tetrapod ZnO nanostructures revealed a UV peak at 382 nm corresponding to the free exciton emission, and a green peak at 523 nm arising from deep level emission. For comparative analysis, cathodolumines- cence （CL） spectra obtained from different regions of an individual tetrapod are investigated. Moreover, a possible growth mechanism of the tetrapod ZnO nanostructures is also discussed based on the experimental results.

Giant Red-Shifted Emission in (Sr,Ba)Y2O4:Eu2+ Phosphor Toward Broadband Near-Infrared Luminescence

Near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) light sources are desirable in photonic, optoelectronic, and biological applications. However, developing broadband red and NIR-emitting phosphors with good thermal stability is always a challenge. Herein, the synthesis of Eu²⁺-activated SrY₂O₄ red phosphor with high photoluminescence quantum efficiency and broad emission band ranging from 540 to 770 nm and peaking at 620 nm under 450 nm excitation is designed. Sr/Ba substitution in SrY₂O₄:Eu²⁺ has been further utilized to achieve tunable emission by modifying the local environment, which facilitates the giant red-shifted emission from 620 to 773 nm while maintaining the outstanding thermal stability of SrY₂O₄:Eu²⁺. The NIR emission is attributed to the enhanced Stokes shift and crystal field strength originated from the local structural distortions of [Y1/Eu1O₆] and [Y2/Eu2O₆]. The investigation in charge distribution around Y/Eu provides additional insight into increasing covalency to tune the emission toward the NIR region. As-fabricated NIR phosphor-converted LEDs demonstration shows its potential in night-vision technologies. This study reveals the NIR luminescence mechanism of Eu²⁺ in oxide-based hosts and provides a design principle for exploiting Eu²⁺-doped NIR phosphors with good thermal stability.
