Effects of Doping Trace Sm^3＋ and Gd^3＋ on Luminescent Character of Y2O2S：Eu^3＋

After trace Sm^3＋ ions and Gd^3＋ ions doping, the emission intensity of red phosphors Y2O2S： Eu^3 ＋ was enhanced and the voltage character （relation between emission intensity and excitation voltage） was improved while the other properties of physics and chemistry were not changed. The origins of enhancement and improvement are discussed. Probably the distortion and the defect of crystals are decreased by the substitution of Gd^3＋ for Y^3＋ instead of Eu^3＋ for Y^3＋ , and thus the Eu^3＋ crystal field is improved, and radiationless process and energy loss resulted from crystal defect are weakened, which leads to increased luminescence intensity and voltage character improvement. The overlapping fluorescent spectra of Y2O2S： Sm^3＋ emission and Y2O2S：Eu^3＋ excitation as well as Eu^3 ＋ excitation spectra transitions spectra lead to energy transfer from Sm^3 ＋ sensitization of Sm^3＋ ions fectively. containing Sm^3＋ excitation the possibility of resonance ions to Eu^3＋ ions, and the to Eu^3＋ ions is achieved effectively.

Optical Spectroscopy of Er^3＋ and Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ Co-doped Bi2O3-GeO2-B2O3-ZnO Glasses

The （60 - x）Bi2O3 - xGeO2-30B2O3-10ZnO （x = 5, 10, 20, 30 molar percent） glasses doped with Er^3＋ and Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ were fabricated using the melting method. The thermal stability of the glasses was studied with their DTA curves. The results show that the difference between the glass transition temperature and the crystallization onset temperature increases with the increase of GeO2 content, indicating that the thermal stability of the glass has become better. The absorption spectra were recorded and the stimulated emission cross sections were calculated using the McCumber theory. The Ω2, O4, and Ω6 parameters,the transition probability, the radiative lifetime, and the fluorescence branch ratio of Er^3＋ for optical transition were calculated from their absorption spectra in terms of reduced matrix U^（t）（λ = 2, 4, 6） character for optical transitions. The infrared emission of Er^3＋ was measured upon excitation with 970 nm light and the full width at half-maximum （FWHM） was estimated from the emission spectra. The pumping efficiency and the intensity of the emission at the 1.54 μm band of Er^3＋ were enhanced considerably by co-doping Yb^3＋ .     

Photoluminescent and Electroluminescent Properties of Ligand Emitting y^3＋, La^3＋, Gd^3＋ and Lu^3＋ Complexes

The photolumineseent (PL) and eleetroluminescent (EL) properties of a series of ligand emitting rare earth complexes (including y^3 , La^3 , Gd^3 and Lu^3 ) were systematically studied. These complexes have the same anionic ligand, 1-phenyt-3-methyl-4-isobutyryl-5-pyrazoloneate (PMIP), and three neutral ligands, triphenyl phosphine oxide(TPPO), 2, 2‘-dipyridine (Bipy) and phenanthroline (Phen). Measured with 60 nm thin film of these complexes vaporized in vacuum on quartz substrates, a good regularity in the PL properties was observed. For rational comparison, the same structural EL devices based on these complexes, ITO/PVK (40 nm)/the complex (80 nm)/Mg: Ag (200 nm)/Ag (100 nm), were fabricated. Excluding the exeiplex emission happens, the EL luminance usually increases with the increasing of PL efficiency.     

Effect of Y3＋, Gd 3＋and La3＋dopant ions on structural,optical and electrical properties of o-mullite nanoparticles

Dielectric ceramics of M(x) Al6(1–x) Si2 O13 doped mullite were synthesized via co-precipitation technique. The X-ray diffraction profiles revealed that these nanoparticles were crystallized well and the volume of mullite unit cell was increased as a function of the ionic radius of dopant ion. TEM images showed regular orthorhombic crystal morphology for the pure mullite sample. Meanwhile, the doped samples exhibited slightly distorted crystal morphology of larger particle sizes. DSC thermograms evinced that the exothermic peak temperature of mullite was shifted to the lower value with M3+ion insertion. The photoluminescence spectra were studied for mullite samples, and it was found that the intensity of the emission spectra was affected by the M3+ion type. It was found that, Y3+doped mullite achieved the minimum dielectric loss value of 0.01 in the radio wave frequency region(1 MHz). Meanwhile, Gd3+ doped mullite achieved the minimum dielectric loss value of 0.09 in the microwave frequency region(1 GHz).

Influence of B2O3 on Spectroscopic Properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ Co-Doped Tungsten-Tellurite Glasses

A series of novel Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped （85- x ） TeO2-15WO3-xB2O3 （TWB;x=2%,5%,8%（mole fraction） ） glasses were prepared. Influence of B203 on the spectroscopic properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped tungsten-tellurite glasses were investigated. It is found that the intensity of 1.5μm fluorescence, lifetime of the ^4I13/2 level and upconversion fluorescence all decrease with the increase of B2O3 content. The product of full width at half maximum （FWHM） and stimulated emission cross-section （σe^peak） of Er^3＋ ：^4I13/2→^4I15/2 transition has an optimum when B203 is 5% （mole fraction）. The emission spectra of Er^3＋ ： ^4I13/2→^4I15/2 transition was analyzed using peak-fit routine, and an equivalent four-level system was proposed to estimate the stark splitting for the 411512 and ^4I13/2 levels of Er^3＋ ions in TWB glasses at room temperature.     

Spectroscopic Properties of Er^3＋-Doped TeO2-WO3-ZnO-ZnF2 Glasses

The Er^3 -doped TeO2-WO3-ZnO-ZnF2(TWZOF) glasses were prepared. The absorption spectra, 1.5μm emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of Er^3 , excited at 970nm, were measured. The J-O parameters Ωt(t=2, 4, 6), absorption and emission cross-sections were calculated. The dependence of the 1.5μm emission intensity, fluorescence lifetime and bandwidth of the Er^3 emission upon the contents of ZnF2 in glass were investigated. In TWZOF glass, Er^3 ions had a broad emission profile around 1.5μm with the maximum FWHM of 83nm. With the increasing of the content of ZnF2, the emission intensity at peak wavelength and the fluorescence lifetime of Er^3 at 1.5μm increase.     

Interpretation of the 4f-5d Excitation Spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ Doped in Crystals

The structure of the low-temperature 4f^N→4f^N-15d excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ doped in crystals LiYF4, YPO4 and CaF2 measured by van Pieterson et al. in 2002 was analyzed and assigned based on the simple model proposed by Duan and co-workers in the last few years. Some complemental discussion on effects of J-mixing on the f-d transition intensities for Eu^3＋ due to the f-electron crystal-field interaction Hcf（f）, which was ignored in the simple mod- el, was presented. Some previously unexplained peaks for Tb^3 ＋ were interpreted to be spin-forbidden transitions to higher 5d crystal-field levels, or assigned to be f→d excitations with the core 4f7 excited from ^8S to ^6P, ^6I and ^6D, respectively. It is shown that the main structure of 4f-Sd excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ can be well interpreted with the simple model.     

Luminescence studies of MBrCl： Eu2＋ （M=Ca, Sr, Ba）

Europium doped MBrCl (M=Ca, Sr, and Ba) phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction in reductive atmosphere. Photolu-minescence (PL), photostimulated luminescence (PSL) after X-ray irradiation and optical absorption studies of MBrCl:Eu2+ (M=Ca, Sr, and Ba) revealed that: (1) blue light emission, under the excitation of 300 nm, was observed in all these phosphors; (2) the shape of the emission spectra in CaBrCl:Eu2+ could be changed by varying the bromine/chlorine ratio during synthesis, while that in SrBrCl:Eu2+ and BaBrCl:Eu2+ showed no change; and (3) PSL was observed in SrBrCl:Eu2+ and BaBrCI:Eu2+ after X-ray irradiation. Difference absorption spectrum (DAS) in SrBrCl:Eu2+ showed two broad bands centered at about 470 and 570 nm, and DAS in BaBrCI:Eu2+ showed two bands at about 550 and 675 nm, respectively. This enabled the use of He-Ne laser (633 nm) or even semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LED) instead of gas lasers for photostimulation.

Photoluminescent properties of Sr2SiO4:Eu3+ and Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors prepared by solid-state reaction method

Eu2+ and (or) Eu3+ doped Sr2SiO4 phosphors particles were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction technique, and their structural and optical properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the obtained phosphors were composed of orthorhombic α'-Sr2SiO4 and monoclinic β-Sr2SiO4 phase. When excited under 256 nm, Sr2SiO4:Eu3+ phosphors showed intense emission in the red region.

Ba1-xSrxMgSiO4:Eu2+,Mn2+: A novel tunable single-matrix tricolor phosphor for W-LED

The Ba1-xSrxMgSiO4:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction. Their photoluminescence properties were inves-tigated with fluorescence spectrum and CIE chromaticity. The emission color of Eu2+ in Ba0.98-xSrxMgSiO4:0.02Eu2+ could be tuned from green to blue by adjusting the content of Sr2+. The blue emission of Eu2+ overlapped well with the excitation spectra of Mn2+, leading to an ef-ficient energy transfer from Eu2+ to Mn2+ in Ba0.98-xSrxMg1-ySiO4:0.02Eu2+,yMn2+. Ba0.93Sr0.03Mg1-ySiO4:0.02Eu2+,yMn2+ could emit three ef-ficient broad bands at 440, 530 and 640 nm. The emission color of Ba0.93Sr0.03Mg1-ySiO4:0.02Eu2+,yMn2+ could be tuned from greenish blue to yellowish white by increasing the content of Mn2+ from 0 to 0.1. By changing the content of Sr2+/Mn2+, white-light with different hues could be conveniently obtained in the Ba1-xSrxMgSiO4:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphors. The results showed that Ba1-xSrxMgSiO4:Eu2+,Mn2+ is a promising single-phased tricolor phosphor in the fabrication of W-LED.     

Luminescent properties of Ca2SiO4:Eu3+ red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu3 doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions: the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm (325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm) were assigned to the f–f transitions of Eu3 . The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of 5D0–7F2. In addition, the ef- fects of the Eu3 content and charge compensators of Li , Na , K , and Cl– ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu3 ions was 0.3 mol–1, and Li ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4:Eu3 , Li was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes (WLED) based on UV InGaN chip.

The results indicated that concentration quenching of Eu3+ was not observed within 30mol.% Eu 3+, 600 oC was a suitable sintering temperature for preparation of K2 Ba(MoO4)2:Eu3+phosphors, and K+ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of K2 Ba(MoO4)2:0.05Eu3+phosphor were calculated to be (0.68, 0.32), and color purity was 97.4%.
