Synthesis-dependent luminescence properties of Y3Al5O12 : Re3+ (Re=Ce, Sm, Tb) phosphors

By using metal nitrates and oxides as the starting materials, Y2Al5O12 (YAG) and YAG:Re3+ (Re = Ce, Sm, Th) powder phosphors were prepared by solid-state (SS), coprecipitation (CP) and citrate gel (CG) methods. The resulting YAG and YAG-based phosphors were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and photoluminescent excitation and emission spectra. The purified crystalline phases of YAG were obtained at 800 degreesC (CG) and 900 degreesC (CP, SS). At an identical annealing temperature and doping concentration, the doped rare-earth ions showed the stronger emission intensity in the CP- and SS-derived phosphors than the CG-derived YAG phosphors. The poor emission intensity for the CG-derived phosphors is mainly caused by the contamination of carbon impurities from citric acid in the starting materials.

TG-DTA properties of new nonlinear optical materials: K(2)Ln(NO3)(5)center dot 2H(2)O (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm)

Single crystals of K(2)Ln(NO3)(5). 2H(2)O (KLnN) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) were grown from aqueous solution. The thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis curves of KLnN demonstrate that the processes of dehydration, melting, irreversible phase transformation and decomposition of NO3- take place in sequence in the heating processes (except KCN). There are three stages in the decomposition of NO3- in KLnN (Ln = La, Nd, Sm) while two in KLnN (Ln = Ce, Pr). K(2)Ln(NO3)(5) is formed at about 225 degrees C by the reaction of KNO3 and Ln(NO3)(3). nH(2)O (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

P-6(7/2)-excited-state decay mechanism and energy-transfer processes in KMgF3 : Eu2+ and KMgF3 : EuX (X = Gd, Ce, Cr)

A four-level decay model in KMgF3:Eu2+ is proposed. The decay profiles of the P-6(7/2) excited state of Eu2+ are biexponential, and the physical implication of each term in the fit equation responsible for the model is interpreted. The evidence obtained spectroscopically for supporting the model is presented. A new method to study energy transfer between Eu2+ and X3+ in KMgF3:Eu-X (X = Gd, Ce, Cr) is established on the basis of the proposed model.

Vibronic transitions and site substitution of Eu2+ and codoped ions in KMgF3 : Eu-X (X=Ce, Cr, Gd, Cu) system

The high-resolution emission spectra of KMgF3 : Eu and KMgF3 : Eu-X(X = Ce, Cr, Gd, Cu) single crystals were measured at 300 and 77 K. The vibronic side bands of Eu2+ were characterized and an assignment of the normal mode frequencies to particular vibrations has been made. The correlation between the vibronic frequencies of Eu2+ and the site substitution of other co-dopcd ions was first found. The relationship between vibronic intensity of Eu2+ and other doped ions concentration showed that Cr3+, Gd3+ ions competed K+ sites with Eu2+ ions. Ce3+ and Eu3+ occurred the electron transference. The introduction of Cu+ made for Eu2+ substuting for K+ sites.

Site substitution and energy transfer of Eu2+ and Ce3+ in KMgF3 : Eu and KMgF3 : Eu-Ce single crystals

The high-resolution emission spectra of KMgF3 : Eu and KMgF3 : Eu-Ce single crystals were measured at 77 K. The site substitution of Eu2+ and Eu2+-Ce3+ co-doped system in KMgF3 was discussed. Eu2+ substituted for K+ sites on three different site-symmetry: cubic, trigonal and tetragonal. The attribution of all lines occurring in the emission spectra were ascertained. The indirect energy transfer from P-6(5/2) states of Eu2+ to 4f5d states of Ce3+ in KMgF3 : Eu-Ce was observed and the energy transfer mechanism was studied. The d-d interaction among levels was proposed.

Energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+ and electron transfer from Ce3+ to Eu3+ in BaY2F8 : Ce, Eu systems

Phorsphors of BaY2F8 : Ce3+, BaY2F8: EU2+ and BaY2F8 : Ce, Eu were prepared by higher temperature solid reaction and their excitation, emission and diffuse reflection spectra were made. We firstly found that the competition of energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+ and electron transfer from Ce3+ to EU3+ existed in CeF3 and EuF3-co-doped BaY2F8 systems. The f-f transition emission of EU2+ was increased with increasing x in systems BaY2F8 : 0. 03Ce, xEU. Ce4+ ions coexist,with Ce3+ ions and substitute Y3+ for Ce4+ in the systems BaY2F8 : Eu, Cc.

Study of energy transfer in KMgF3 : Eu-X (X = Gd, Cr, Ce) by the decay model of P-6(7/2) exited state of Eu2+

Energy transfer processes between Eu2+ and Gd3+, Cr3+, Ce3+ ions in KMgF3, which are difficult to study spectroscopically, have been investigated by using the proposed four-level decay model of the P-6(7/2) excited state of the Eu2+ ion. Gd3+ and Ce3+ transfer its energy to the vibronic transition of the P-6(7/2) --> S-8(7/2) transition of Eu2+, whereas Cr3+ receive energy from Eu2+ via the d-d interaction. The energy transfer from the Eu2+ 4f(6)5d level to the Ce3+ 4f5d state is observed spectroscopically, and the energy transfer mechanism is discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
