A blue CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+ phosphor was prepared by the solid‐state reaction method and the phosphor characterized in terms of crystal structure, particle size, photoluminescence (PL), thermoluminescence (TL) and mechanoluminescence (ML) properties using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), PL spectroscopy, TLD reader and ML impact technique. The XRD result shows that phosphor is formed in a single phase and has a monoclinic structure with the space group C2/c. Furthermore, the PL excitation spectra of Eu2+‐doped CaMgSi2O6 phosphor showed a strong band peak at 356 nm and the PL emission spectrum has a peak at 450 nm. The depths and frequency factors of trap centers were calculated using the TL glow curve by deconvolution method in which the trap depths were found to be 0.48 and 0.61 eV. The formation of CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+ phosphor was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The ML intensity increased linearly with the impact velocity of the piston used to deform the phosphor. It was shown that the local piezoelectricity‐induced electron bombardment model is responsible for the ML emission. Finally, the optical properties of CaMgSi2O6:Eu2+ phosphors are discussed.

We report the synthesis and structural characterization of Er3+,Yb3+‐doped Gd2O3 phosphor. The sample was prepared using the conventional solid‐state reaction method, which is the most suitable method for large‐scale production. The prepared phosphor sample was characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermoluminescence (TL), photoluminescence (PL) and CIE techniques. For PL studies, the excitation and emission spectra of Gd2O3 phosphor doped with Er3+ and Yb3+ were recorded. The excitation spectrum was recorded at a wavelength of 551 nm and showed an intense peak at 276 nm. The emission spectrum was recorded at 276 nm excitation and showed peaks in all blue, green and red regions, which indicate that the prepared phosphor may act as a single host for white light‐emitting diode (WLED) applications, as verified by International de I'Eclairage (CIE) techniques. From the XRD data, the calculated average crystallite size of Er3+ and Yb3+‐doped Gd2O3 phosphor is ~ 38 nm. A TL study was carried out for the phosphor using UV irradiation. The TL glow curve was recorded for UV, beta and gamma irradiations, and the kinetic parameters were also calculated. In addition, the trap parameters of the prepared phosphor were also studied using computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD). Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Ca2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor was prepared by the solid‐state reaction method under a weak reducing atmosphere. The obtained phosphor was characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) techniques. The phase structure of the Ca2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor was akermanite type, which is a member of the melilite group. The surface morphology of the sintered phosphor was not uniform and phosphors aggregated tightly. EDX and FT‐IR spectra confirm the elements present in the Ca2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor. Under UV excitation, a broadband emission spectrum was found. The emission spectra observed in the green region centered at 535 nm, which is due to the 4f–5d transition. The mechanoluminescence (ML) intensity of the prepared phosphor increased linearly with increases in the mechanical load. The ML spectra were similar to the photoluminescence (PL), which indicates that ML is emitted from the same emitting center of Eu2+ ions as PL. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, europium‐doped strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4:Eu2+) phosphors were synthesized using a combustion method with urea as a fuel at 600°C. The phase structure, particle size, surface morphology and elemental analysis were studied using X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The EDX and FTIR spectra confirm the elements present in the SrAl2O4:Eu2+ phosphor. The optical properties of SrAl2O4:Eu2+ phosphors were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and mechanoluminescence (ML). The excitation and emission spectra showed a broad band with peaks at 337 and 515 nm, respectively. The ML intensities of SrAl2O4:Eu2+ phosphor increased proportionally with the increase in the height of the mechanical load, which suggests that this phosphor could be used in stress sensors. The CIE colour chromaticity diagram and ML spectra confirm that the SrAl2O4:Eu2+ phosphor emitted green coloured light. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of 2‐(4‐ethoxyphenyl)‐4‐phenyl quinoline (OEt‐DPQ) organic phosphor using an acid‐catalyzed Friedlander reaction and the preparation of blended thin films by molecularly doping OEt‐DPQ in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) at different wt%. The molecular structure of the synthesized phosphor was confirmed by Fourier transform infra‐red (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR). Surface morphology and percent composition of the elements were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis of X‐rays (EDAX). The thermal stability and melting point of OEt‐DPQ and thin films were probed by thermo‐gravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermal analysis (DTA) and were found to be 80°C and 113.6°C, respectively. UV–visible optical absorption spectra of OEt‐DPQ in the solid state and blended films produced absorption bands in the range 260–340 nm, while photoluminescence (PL) spectra of OEt‐DPQ in the solid state and blended thin films demonstrated blue emission that was registered at 432 nm when excited at 363–369 nm. However, solvated OEt‐DPQ in chloroform, tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane showed a blue shift of 31–43 nm. Optical absorption and emission parameters such as molar extinction coefficient (ε), energy gap (Eg), transmittance (T), reflectance (R), refractive index (n), oscillator energy (E0) and oscillator strength (f), quantum yield (φf), oscillator energy (E0), dispersion energy (Ed), Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) co‐ordinates and energy yield fluorescence (EF) were calculated to assess the phosphor's suitability as a blue emissive material for opto‐electronic applications such as organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), flexible displays and solid‐state lighting technology. 相似文献

In this work, the optical and structural properties of ultrasonically prepared CaF2:Eu3+ nanoparticles have been reported. Ultrasonically prepared CaF2:Eu3+ phosphor shows orange, red emission bands at 591 nm and 612 nm, respectively, when it is excited by 394 light‐emitting diode (LED) excitation wavelengths. Further phosphor materials are well characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to confirm the phase purity, metal oxygen (MO) bonding and crystallites size of the materials. Here synthesized materials show a tube‐like structure under 100 nm resolution and 0.1 mol% is the best doping value of the europium ion (Eu3+) in calcium fluoride (CaF2) that shows highest intensity when prepared with an ultrasound assisted method. 相似文献

Monodispersed ZnS nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a chemical precipitation method in an air atmosphere using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as surfactants. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT‐IR), UV–Vis optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Prepared surfactants capped ZnS nanoparticles are highly homogeneous and well dispersed. Optical absorption spectra showed a strong blue shift from the uncapped particles due to the quantum confinement effect. The capped ZnS emission intensity is enhanced than more the uncapped particles. The size of the synthesized particles is around 4–6.5 nm range. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Ce‐doped (1 × 10?5 to 3.0 mol%) SrBPO5 phosphors were synthesized using a conventional solid‐state reaction route at 1273 K in an air atmosphere. Phase and morphology of the samples were studied from powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs, respectively. The band gap energies of the pure and Ce‐doped SrBPO5 phosphors were calculated from the recorded diffuse reflectance spectra. Photoluminescence (PL) and Ce3+ lifetime were recorded at 300 and 77 K. Photoluminescence lifetime measurements revealed two‐lifetime values for Ce3+ at both 300 K (17 and 36 nsec) and 77 K (12 and 30 nsec), suggesting the presence of two different environments around Ce3+. Time‐resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) studies confirmed the presence of Ce3+ in two different environments. In addition, SrBPO5:Ce exhibited intense UV emission, signifying its possible use as an efficient sensitizer for solid‐state lighting applications. The effect of γ‐irradiation on PL was also determined. Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) glow curves of the γ‐irradiated phosphor, along with trap parameters, dose–response, and the possible TSL mechanism were also investigated. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was carried out to probe defects present in undoped and Ce‐doped SrBPO5. 相似文献

Erbium (Er) (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt%)‐doped CaZrO3 nanophosphors were synthesized by the sol–gel method using poly(vinyl alcohol) as the chelating agent. Their structural and photoluminescence properties were studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM‐EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD patterns of the samples confirm that nanoscale crystallite sizes. Agglomeration of the samples was observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy images. Energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements confirmed the existence of Ca, Zr, O and Er in the samples. Average particle sizes for the samples were calculated from transmission electron microscopy images. FTIR spectra clearly show characteristic absorption bands related to the metal oxides, as well as some other organic molecules. The photoluminescence spectra show bands in the green region. The Commission International de l'Eclairage coordinates were calculated and found to be in green region. 相似文献

Dy3+‐doped ZnO nanofibres with diameters from 200 to 500 nm were made using an electrospinning technique. The as‐fabricated amorphous nanofibres resulted in good crystalline continuous nanofibres through calcination. Dy3+‐doped ZnO nanofibres were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) light spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence (PL). XRD showed the well defined peaks of ZnO. UV–vis spectra showed a good absorption band at 360 nm. FTIR spectra showed a Zn–O stretching vibration confirming the presence of ZnO. Photoluminescence spectra of Dy3+‐doped ZnO nanofibres showed an emission peak in the visible region that was free from any ZnO defect emission. Emissions at 480 nm and 575 nm in the Dy3+‐doped ZnO nanofibres were the characteristic peaks of dopant Dy3+ and implied efficient energy transfer from host to dopant. Luminescence intensity was found to be increased with increasing doping concentration and reduction in nanofibre diameter. Colour coordinates were calculated from photometric characterizations, which resembled the properties for warm white lighting devices. 相似文献

This study involves the single-step, mass-scale productive synthesis, photoconduction, and luminescence characteristics of pure and cerium rare-earth-ion-doped ZnO (CZO) nanophosphors with different Ce concentrations (Ce: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized nanophosphors were characterized for their structural, morphological, optical, and photoconductivity (PC) properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL), and PC measurements. The sharp diffraction peaks of XRD results exhibit the formation of crystalline hexagonal wurtzite ZnO nanostructures. The decrease in diffraction peak intensities of CZO with an increase in Ce concentrations signifies the deterioration of the ZnO crystal. FE-SEM images exhibit the good crystalline quality of nanophosphors composed of spherical- and elongated-shaped nanoparticles that are distributed consistently on the surface. The energy dispersive X-ray pattern of the 4 wt.% Ce-doped ZnO (CZO4) sample confirms the doping of Ce in ZnO. The presence of chemical bonds and functional groups corresponds to transmittance peaks established using FT-IR spectroscopy. Deconvoluted PL spectra show two major emission peaks, one in the UV region, which is near-band-edge, and the other in the visible region ranging from ~456 to 561 nm. In PC studies, current–voltage (I–V) and current–time (I–T) characteristics, that is, rise/decayin current under dark as well as UV light conditions, are also investigated. Efficient photoconduction is observed in CZO samples. The obtained results indicate the suitability to luminescent and photosensor applications. 相似文献

A novel blue luminescent 6‐chloro‐2‐(4‐cynophenyl) substituted diphenyl quinoline (Cl‐CN DPQ) organic phosphor has been synthesized by the acid‐catalyzed Friedlander reaction and then characterized to confirm structural, optical and thermal properties. Structural properties of Cl‐CN‐DPQ were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction technique (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis of X‐ray (EDAX) spectroscopy. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of different functional groups and bond stretching. 1H–NMR and 13C–NMR confirmed the formation of an organic Cl‐CN‐DPQ compound. X‐ray diffraction study provided its crystalline nature. The surface morphology of Cl‐CN‐DPQ was analyzed by SEM, while EDAX spectroscopy revealed the elemental analysis. Differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) disclosed its thermal stability up to 250°C. The optical properties of Cl‐CN‐DPQ were investigated by UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Cl‐CN‐DPQ exhibits intense blue emission at 434 nm in a solid‐state crystalline powder with CIE co‐ordinates (0.157, 0.027), when excited at 373 nm. Cl‐CN‐DPQ shows remarkable Stokes shift in the range 14800–5100 cm?1, which is the characteristic feature of intense light emission. A narrow full width at half‐maximum (FWHM) value of PL spectra in the range 42–48 nm was observed. Oscillator strength, energy band gap, quantum yield, and fluorescence energy yield were also examined using UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra. These results prove its applications towards developing organic luminescence devices and displays, organic phosphor‐based solar cells and displays, organic lasers, chemical sensors and many more. 相似文献

In this study, ZnSe and ZnSe:Cu quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized using Na2SeO3 as the Se source by a rapid and room temperature photochemical (UV‐assisted) approach. Thioglycolic acid (TGA) was employed as the capping agent and UV illumination activated the chemical reactions. Synthesized QDs were successfully characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) and UV–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform‐infrared (FT‐IR), and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). XRD analysis demonstrated the cubic zinc blend phase QDs. TEM images indicated that round‐shaped particles were formed, most of which had a diameter of about 4 nm. The band gap of the ZnSe QDs was higher than that for ZnSe in bulk. PL spectra indicated an emission with three peaks related to the excitonic, surface trap states and deep level (DL) states. The band gap and QD emission were tunable only by UV illumination time during synthesis. ZnSe:Cu showed green emission due to transition of electrons from the Conduction band (CB) or surface trap states to the 2T2 acceptor levels of Cu2+. The emission was increased by increasing the Cu2+ ion concentration, such that the optimal value of PL intensity was obtained for the nominal mole ratio of Cu:Zn 1.5%. 相似文献

As a new precursor, [bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydato)tin(II)]; ([Sn(HNA)2]), complex was used in thermal decomposition process for the synthesis of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoclusters. The steric hindrance of the precursor raises the need of using co-surfactant, therefore oleylamine (C18H37N) was applied as the only surfactant of the reaction. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Also the novel precursor was thermal treated in solid-state reaction in different temperature, 400, 500, and 600 °C. Synthesized tin dioxide nanoclusters with tetragonal phase, have average size of 1.5-4 nm. Finally, optical properties of the products were examined and investigated by photoluminescence spectra. 相似文献

A dysprosium (Dy3+)-activated potassium calcium silicate (K4CaSi3O9) phosphor was prepared using a solid-state synthesis route. The phosphor had a cubic structure with the space group Pa as confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Details of surface morphology and elemental composition of the as-synthesized undoped KCS phosphor was obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The chemical structure as well as the vibrational modes present in the as-prepared KCS phosphor was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) were used to determine the optical bandgap of the phosphors and were found to be in the optical range 3.52–3.71 eV. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed intense yellow emission corresponding to the 4F9/2→6H13/2 transition under 350 nm excitation. Commission International de l′Eclairage colour chromaticity coordinates were evaluated using the PL spectral data lie within the white region. Dexter theory and the Inokuti–Hirayama (I–H) model were applied to study the nature of the energy transfer mechanism in the as-prepared phosphors. The relatively high activation energy of the phosphors was evaluated using temperature-dependent PL (TDPL) data and confirmed the high thermal stability of the titled phosphor. The abovementioned results indicated that the as-prepared KCS:Dy3+ phosphor was a promising candidate for n-UV-based white light-emitting diodes. 相似文献

Cu(II) ion‐doped NaCaAlPO4F3 phosphor has been synthesized using a solid state reaction method. The prepared sample is characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, optical absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. The crystallite size evaluated from x‐ray diffraction data is in nanometers. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed the presence of several irregular shaped particles. From optical absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectral data the doped Cu(II) ions are ascribed to distorted octahedral site symmetry. The synthesized phosphor exhibits emission bands in ultraviolet, blue and green regions under the excitation wavelength of 335 nm. The CIE chromaticity coordinates (x = 0.159, y = 0.204) also calculated for the prepared sample from the emission spectrum. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum revealed the characteristic vibrational bands of the prepared phosphor material. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline SrS phosphors doped with Ce3+ ions at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mol%) are synthesized via the solid‐state diffusion method (SSDM), which is suitable for the large‐scale production of phosphors in industrial applications. The as‐prepared samples are characterized using an X‐ray diffraction (XRD) technique, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX) analysis. The optical properties of these phosphors are analyzed using reflectance spectra, photoluminescence spectra and afterglow decay curves. The cubic structure of the SrS phosphor is confirmed by XRD analysis and the crystallite size calculated by Scherer's formula using XRD data shows the nanocrystalline nature of the phosphors. No phase change is observed with increasing concentrations of Ce3+ ions. The surface morphology of the prepared phosphors is determined by FESEM, which shows a sphere‐like structure and good connectivity of the grains. The authenticity of the formation of nanocrystalline phosphors is examined by HRTEM analysis. Elemental compositional information for the prepared phosphors is gathered by EDX analysis. Photoluminescence studies reveal that the emission spectra of the prepared phosphor shows broad band emission centered at 458 and 550 nm due to the transition of electrons from the 5d → 4f energy levels. The afterglow decay characteristics of different as‐synthesized SrS:Ce3+ nanophosphors are conceptually described. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The particles were prepared in an air atmosphere at 80°C. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV‐visible and photoluminescence (PL) studies were used to investigate the effect of the capping agent on the size, morphology and optical properties of the ZnS–Mn2+ nanoparticles. Enhanced PL was observed from the surfactant‐capped ZnS–Mn2+ nanoparticles. The PL spectra showed a broad blue emission band in the range 460–445 nm and a Mn2+‐related yellow‐orange emission band in the range 581–583 nm. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Highly luminescent, polymer nanocomposite films based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and monodispersed carbon dots (C‐dots) derived from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), as coatings on substrates as well as free standing ones are obtained via solution‐based techniques. The synthesized films exhibit pH‐independent photoluminescence (PL) emission, which is an advantageous property compared with the pH‐dependent photoluminescence intensity variations, generally observed for the C‐dots dispersed in aqueous solution. The synthesized C‐dots and the nanocomposite films are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra‐red spectroscopy ( FTIR), ultraviolet (UV) ? visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) techniques. The TEM image provides clear evidence for the formation of C‐dots of almost uniform shape and average size of about 8 nm, homogeneously dispersed in aqueous medium. The strong anchoring of C‐dots within the polymer matrix can be confirmed from the XRD results. The FTIR spectral studies conclusively establish the presence of oxygen functional groups on the surfaces of the C‐dots. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of the nanocomposite films are broad, covering most part of the visible region. The PL spectra do not show any luminescence intensity variations, when the pH of the medium is changed from 1 to 11. The pH‐independent luminescence, shown by these films offers ample scope for using them as coatings for designing diagnostic and imaging tools in bio medical applications. The non‐toxic nature of these nanocomposite films has been established on the basis of cytotoxicity studies. 相似文献

CdSe nanoparticles were synthesized by green route and chemical route methods. In the green route method the samples were capped by starch and in the chemical route method the samples were capped by mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). The samples were characterized by powder X‐ ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both the samples showed zinc blend structure. The optical absorption spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were also studied. A blue shift was seen in the absorption spectra as compared with the bulk as well as the sample capped by starch. TEM images showed agglomeration for the starch‐capped sample as compared with the MAA‐capped sample. The particle size for the sample capped by MAA was found to be less as compared with the starch‐capped sample. A blue shift in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra was also recorded for the samples prepared by the chemical route as compared with the sample prepared by the green route as well as the bulk. The PL peak shifted towards the red side and increase in the peak intensity occurred with the change in the excitation wavelength. Change in PL intensity was observed with different pH at 685 nm.
