不同掺杂浓度Tm3+：LiLuF4单晶的1800 nm荧光发射

Preparation and optical properties of SrF2:Eu nanospheres

SrF₂:Eu³⁺ nanospheres with homogeneous diameter have been synthesized by a microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal method for the first time, in which quaternary microemulsion of CTAB/water/cyclohexane/n-pentanol was used. The possible reaction mechanism and the luminescent properties of SrF₂:Eu³⁺ nanospheres were also investigated in this paper. The morphology and grain sizes of final products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, indicating that most of the products were nanospheres with an average diameter of ∼50 nm. Room-temperature emission spectra, recorded under 394-nm excitation, showed that the transition of ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ emission be dominating in SrF₂:Eu³⁺ nanospheres. From the dependence of the luminescence intensity on the concentration of Eu³⁺ ions, the optimal dopant concentration is 2 mol%.     

A novel red emitting phosphor Ca2SnO4: Eu

A novel red emitting phosphor, Eu³⁺-doped Ca₂SnO₄, was prepared by the solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of Ca₂SnO₄: Eu³⁺. Field-emission scanning electron-microscopy (FE-SEM) observation indicated a narrow size-distribution of about 500 nm for the particles with spherical shape. Photoluminescence measurements indicated that the phosphor exhibits bright red emission at about 615 nm under UV excitation. The excellent luminescence properties make it possible as a good candidate for plasma display panels (PDP) application. Splitting of the ⁵D₀-⁷F_J transitions of Ca₂SnO₄: Eu³⁺ suggests that the Eu³⁺ ions occupied two nonequivalent sites in the crystallite. The luminescence lifetime measurement showed a bi-exponential decay, providing other evidence for the existence of two different environments for Eu³⁺ ions.     

Synthesis of Gd3PO7:Eu nanospheres via a facile combustion method and optical properties

Eu³⁺-doped Gd₃PO₇ nanospheres with an average diameter of ∼300 nm and a narrow size distribution have been prepared by a facile combustion method and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The luminescent properties were systemically studied by the measurement of excitation/emission spectra, and emission spectra under different temperatures, as well as by photostability. The strong red-emission intensity peaking at 614 nm originates the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition and is observed under 254-nm irradiation, indicating that Eu³⁺ ions in Gd₃PO₇ mainly occupied non-centrosymmetry sites. The CIE1931 XY chromaticity coordinates of Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺ nanospheres are (x=0.654, y=0.345) in the red area, which is near the National Television Standard Committee standard chromaticity coordinates for red. Thus, Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺ nanospheres may be potential red-emitting phosphors for PDP and Xe-based mercury-free lamps.     

Enhanced ultraviolet up-conversion emissions of Tm/Yb codoped YF3 nanocrystals

Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped rod-like YF₃ nanocrystals were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method. After annealing in an argon atmosphere, the nanocrystals emitted bright blue and intense ultraviolet (UV) light under a 980-nm continuous wave diode laser excitation. Up-conversion emissions centered at ∼291 nm (¹I₆ → ³H₆), ∼347 nm (¹I₆ → ³F₄), ∼362 nm (¹D₂ → ³H₆), ∼452 nm (¹D₂ → ³F₄), ∼476 nm (¹G₄ → ³H₆), ∼642 nm (¹G₄ → ³F₄), and ∼805 nm (³H₄ → ³H₆) were recorded using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. Especially, enhanced UV emissions were studied by changing Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ doping concentrations, the annealing temperatures, and the excitation power densities. A possible mechanism, energy transfer-cross relaxation-energy transfer (ET-CR-ET), was proposed based on a simple rate-equation model to elucidate the process of the enhanced UV emissions.     

White-light-emitting long-lasting phosphorescence in Dy-doped SrSiO3

We report on a luminescent phenomenon in Dy³⁺-doped SrSiO₃ long-lasting phosphor. After irradiation by a 254-nm UV lamp for 5 min, the Dy³⁺-doped SrSiO₃ phosphor emits white light-emitting long-lasting phosphorescence for more than 1 h even after the irradiation source has been removed. Photoluminescence, long-lasting phosphorescence and thermoluminescence (TL) spectra are used to explain this phenomenon. Photoluminescence spectra reveal that the white light-emitting long-lasting phosphorescence originated from the two mixtures of Dy³⁺ characteristic luminescence, the 480-nm blue emission (⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2) and the 572-nm yellow emission (⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2). TL spectra shows that the introduction of Dy³⁺ ions into the SrSiO₃ host produces a highly dense trapping level at 377 K (0.59 eV), which is responsible for the long-lasting phosphorescence at room temperature. A possible mechanism of the long-lasting phosphorescence based on the experimental results is proposed. It is considered that the long-lasting phosphorescence is due to persistent energy transfer from the electron traps to the Dy³⁺ ions, which creates the persistent luminescence of Dy³⁺ to produce the white light-emitting long-lasting phosphorescence.     

Enhancement of the Up-conversion Luminescence of 12CaO · 7Al2O3:Tm3+/Yb3+ Doped with Alkaline Earth Metal Ions

12CaO?·?7Al₂O₃ doped with lanthanide is characterized by remarkable and technologically important up-conversion emission. However, the low up-conversion efficiency still remains the main limitation for practical applications. To improve the efficiency, bivalent alkaline earth ions (Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺)-tridoped Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺/12CaO?·?7Al₂O₃ were synthesized through a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The up-conversion luminescence properties of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, fluorescence spectral measurement pump power, and fluorescence decay curves. The luminescence intensity of samples was significantly enhanced by bivalent alkaline earth ions. 12CaO?·?7Al₂O₃ doped with Sr²⁺ ions has stronger effects on up-conversion enhancement, which is better than Mg²⁺ and Ba²⁺. The up-conversion emission intensity was enhanced by 318 times and the red emission intensity by 218 times with 10?mol% Sr²⁺ ion. Additionally, the blue and red up-conversion emission peaks at 475 and 650?nm corresponding to energy transitions of ¹G₄ → ³H₆ and ¹G₄ → ³F₄, ³F₂ → ³H₆ were characterized using steady-state rate equations.     

Spectroscopic properties of Nd ions in nano-perovskite CaTiO3

In this work, we present for the first time the spectroscopic properties of perovskite nanocrystals CaTiO₃: Nd³⁺, measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperature. Samples were prepared by the sol–gel method and annealed at 700 and 1000 °C. The concentration of Nd³⁺ ranged from 0.5% to 5%. Average nanocrystallite size primarily depends on the annealed temperature and is about 25 and 50 nm for 700 and 1000 °C, respectively. The absorption, emission and excitation spectra (monitored at 1078 nm) as well as the decay time profile of the emission from the ⁴F_3/2 energy level of Nd³⁺ are obtained. The increasing amount of Nd³⁺ ions decreases the lifetime of the ⁴F_3/2 level and that changes from 146 μs for 0.5% to 50 μs for 5% of Nd³⁺ concentration. The strongest emission was observed at two regions: 1050–1120 nm and 865–930 nm and was assigned to the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_11/2 and ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_9/2 transitions, respectively. The spectroscopic quality parameter of neodymium in the CaTiO₃ lattice has been calculated from the emission spectra. The influence of luminescent properties depending on the annealing temperature and concentration of neodymium ions is discussed.
