Preparation and Characterization of BaLiF3:Er3+ Nanoparticles by the Hydrothermal Microemulsion Synthesized Method

Nanoparticles of BaLiF3:Er3+ were prepared from the quaternary microemulsions of Cetyltrim-Enthyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), n-butanol, n-octane, and water, using the hydrothermal-microemulsion technique. The complex fluorides were characterized by means of X-ray power diffraction, Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), and fluorescence spectra.

Gd3+ -> Eu2+ energy transfer in BaLiF3 : Eu, Gd

Photoluminescence characteristics and the energy transfer between Gd3+ and Eu2+ in BaLiF3,, matrix have been investigated. A series of concentrations of Gd3+ ion with a fixed Eu2+ concentration doped in BaLiF3 : Gd3+, Eu2+ has been studied. When the doping concentration for Gd3+ was 0.3%,, the system reached the highest energy transfer efficiency. Due to the competitive absorption for the Gd3+ and the Eu2+ ions in BaLiF3 : Gd3+ : Eu2+, when the doping concentration for Gd3+ ion exceeded 0.3 Vo, the continuously increasing concentration of Gd3+ ions caused the competitive absorption ratio for Gd3+ increasing and the emission intensity of Eu2+ decreasing. The energy transfer processes were discussed, while the transfer probability was calculated to be 1.35 X 10(5) s(-1).

Optical spectroscopy properties and charge compensation of BaLiF3 doped with Ce3+

The excitation and emission spectra of the BaLiF3:Ce3+ phosphors synthesized through solid state reaction have been measured. By investigating the properties of the excitation spectra we point out that the variation in the excitation spectra with the amount of CeF3 dopant results from the different patterns of charge compensation in the matrices. The vacancies of Li+ ions are the favorable charge compensation pattern at low concentration of CeF3 doped, but interstitial F- ions are the major charge compensation pattern when the concentration of CeF3 doped goes beyond a certain value.

Ce3+ -> Eu2+ energy transfer in BaLiF3 phosphor

Photoluminescence characteristics and the energy transfer between Ce3+ and Eu2+ in BaLiF3 host lattice have been investigated. A series of concentrations of Ce3+ ion with a fixed Eu2+ concentration in doubly doped BaLiF3:Ce3+,Eu2+ have been studied. According to the defects forming after Eu2+ and Ce3+ entering the host lattice, cerium ions occupy the positions of nearest neighbors of the europium ions. The energy transfer probability and critical distance are calculated. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Irradiation damage on BaLiF3 crystallites and its suppression by rare-earth ion doping

The x-ray and gamma-ray induced damage in BaLiF3 crystallites and its suppression by rare earth ion doping have been studied by electron spin resonance and thermally stimulated luminescence methods. It has been found that the x-ray irradiation damage is light and can be erased easily. This shows that the BaLiF3 crystallite is an ideal host for x-ray storage material. But the damage induced by gamma-ray has been found to be relatively hard to recover; however the gamma-ray irradiation hardness can be improved by rare earth (e.g., La3+, Yb3+) ion doping. So the BaLiF3 is also promising material for being used in detection of high-energy particles (e.g., gamma-ray).

BaLiF3(Eu2+): A promising X-ray storage phosphor

The TSL glow of X-irradiated BaLiF3 crystallite vanished within 15 min of sunlight bleaching or after 2 similar to 3 days of room temperature annealing, which indicate that X-irradiation damage is light and can be easily erased. It is also found that BaLiF3:Eu2+ is photostimulatable and seems be a promising X-ray storage phosphor for practical utilization.
