Eu3+-activated red phosphor Ca3YAl3B4O15 with low thermal quenching behaviour

This paper reports a sequence of a Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:xEu³⁺ red phosphor prepared using a high-temperature solid-state reaction. At the excitation of 396 nm, the samples emitted intense red emission centred at ~623 nm, which could be attributed to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of the Eu³⁺ ion. The results showed that the optimum Eu³⁺ doping concentration of Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:Eu³⁺ phosphor was x = 80 mol%, and the concentration quenching mechanism of Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:Eu³⁺ red phosphor belonged to the exchange coupling between Eu³⁺ ions. The Commission Internationale de l'éclairage (CIE) coordinates and colour purity of Ca₃Y_0.2Al₃B₄O₁₅:0.8Eu³⁺ were calculated as (0.6375, 0.3476) and 95.5%, respectively. Moreover, the red emission of the obtained phosphor Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅:0.8Eu³⁺ exhibited a low thermal quenching behaviour with an intensity retention rate of 92.85% at 150°C. The above results manifest that the Eu³⁺-activated Ca₃YAl₃B₄O₁₅ phosphor is predicted to be a promising red luminescent component for white light-emitting diodes.     

Thermoluminescence studies of zinc borate (ZnB2O4) phosphor doped with rare earths for dosimetric aspects

A series of ZnB₂O₄ phosphors doped with different concentrations of Eu and Dy (0.05 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 mol%) and co-doped with Ce (1, 2, 5, 7, 10 mol%) respectively was prepared via the solid-state reaction technique and the thermoluminescence (TL) behaviour of gamma ray-irradiated samples was studied. The synthesized samples were irradiated with γ-rays for the dose range 0.03–1.20 kGy. The TL intensity variations with dose, dopant concentration, and the effect of co-doping were studied. The TL response curves for ZnB₂O₄:Eu³⁺ and ZnB₂O₄:Dy³⁺, ZnB₂O₄:Eu³,Ce³⁺ and ZnB₂O₄:Dy³⁺,Ce³⁺ phosphor were observed. It was revealed that ZnB₂O₄:Eu³⁺ showed a linear TL behaviour for the dose 0.03–1.20 kGy and ZnB₂O₄:Dy³⁺ showed linearity for the gamma dose range 0.03–0.10 kGy. Furthermore, fading for all the samples was observed to be less than 10% for a storage period of 30 days. In addition to this, the trapping parameters, especially activation energies were evaluated using the Ilich method and the initial rise method. The activation energy values obtained from both methods were in complete agreement with each other.     

温带气旋对一代粘虫迁飞的影响:2015年个例分析

【目的】一代粘虫Mythimna separate(Walker)蛾大多在5月中旬至6月中旬集群外迁,而此时我国温带气旋活动较为频繁,由气旋活动引起的风场条件的变化会对一代粘虫的迁入区分布造成极大影响,因此阐明温带气旋对一代粘虫迁飞过程的影响是预测2代粘虫发生的重要前提。【方法】通过在江苏姜堰、安徽金安和山东宁津设立高空灯监测点,获取三地粘虫空中种群过境动态,结合WRF(Weather Research and Forecast)模式输出的精细风温场资料分析2015年温带气旋对一代粘虫迁飞的影响。【结果】2015年5月东亚反气旋频繁过境,一代粘虫在反气旋影响下多往西南和西北方向迁飞。6月上旬在东北低涡和蒙古气旋的影响下,一代粘虫可迁入东北地区为害。【结论】春夏之交频发的温带气旋是导致我国二代粘虫大范围为害的重要原因。

光对棉铃虫和烟青虫杂交的影响

【目的】力求建立一种准确鉴定室内棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera(Hübner)、烟青虫H.assulta(Guenée)及其杂交种的分子技术,探讨棉铃虫和烟青虫杂交的可能。【方法】室内暗期设置0.5 lx黑光灯和白炽灯,测定不同配对模式下3日龄处女棉铃虫和烟青虫的杂交率;筛选可区分室内建立的棉铃虫、烟青虫及杂交种家族的微卫星位点;于架设有黑光灯的温室内释放棉铃虫和烟青虫混合种群,利用微卫星分子标记技术检测子代微卫星位点大小。【结果】两种蛾类在任何一种配对模式下均可杂交,混合种群处理杂交率为2.92%,且均为烟青虫雌蛾与棉铃虫雄蛾配对交配;黑光灯、白炽灯和黑暗条件下杂交率无显著性差异;筛选出的Har SSR1、Har SSR9和Har SSR10在两种蛾类上的等位基因片段大小不一样;两年温室实验共鉴定360头子代,混合种群中未检测到杂交后代。【结论】交配笼中棉铃虫和烟青虫能进行种间杂交,弱光不能提高二者杂交率;混合种群处理只发现一种杂交配对模式,说明了棉铃虫雄蛾的交配竞争能力更强;成功利用微卫星分子标记技术鉴定室内建立的棉铃虫、烟青虫及杂种家族,提供了一种简单准确的分子鉴定手段;两年温室实验未检测到杂交种,说明2种蛾类之间存在着交配前生殖隔离机制。     

A novel n-UV convertible colour-tunable emitting oxynitride phosphor: Realization based on Ce3+-Tb3+ energy transfer

In the present work, a novel n-UV convertible colour-tunable emitting phosphor was obtained based on the efficient Ce³⁺-Tb³⁺ energy transfer in the Y₁₀Al₂Si₃O₁₈N₄ host. By properly controlling the ratio of Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺, the colour hue of the obtained powder covered the blue and green regions, under excitation of 365 nm. The steady-state and dynamic-state luminescence measurement was performed to shed light on the related mechanism, which was justified by the electronic dipole–quadrupole dominating the related energy transfer process. Preliminary studies showed that Y₁₀Al₂Si₃O₁₈N₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ can be promising as an inorganic phosphor for white LED applications.     

水分胁迫下丛枝菌根AM真菌对民勤绢蒿生长与抗旱性的影响

采用盆栽试验,研究了水分胁迫下接种丛枝菌根AM真菌对民勤绢蒿(Seriphidium minchünense)生长和抗旱性的影响。结果表明,不同水分条件下,接种AM真菌提高了民勤绢蒿菌根侵染率和生物量,增加了地上部和地下部全P含量,重度胁迫下接种株地上部总黄酮含量显著升高,而对分枝数和地上部、地下部全N含量无显著影响。水分胁迫提高了民勤绢蒿菌根依赖性和全N、全P菌根贡献率。不同生长时期接种AM真菌均能提高植株叶片相对含水量、可溶性蛋白和叶绿素含量;前期接种株叶片可溶性糖含量显著低于未接种株,而中后期可溶性糖含量显著高于未接种株;整个生长时期接种株比未接种株叶片维持较低的脯氨酸含量;不同生长时期接种株叶片全N和全P含量显著升高,重度胁迫下接种株叶片总黄酮含量显著升高。AM真菌促进宿主植物生长和增强抗旱性可能是AM真菌直接促进宿主植物根系对土壤水分和矿质元素吸收和间接改善植株体内生理代谢活动的缘故。     

苎麻田灯下主要害虫及天敌成分分析

为了科学利用频振式杀虫灯防治苎麻Boehmeria nivea(Linn)Gaudich害虫,明确苎麻田主要灯诱昆虫种类及其灯下诱集动态,于2012年4月~9月在湖北省咸宁地区进行了苎麻田频振式杀虫灯诱虫试验。结果表明：频振式杀虫灯在苎麻田诱杀害虫4目9科19种,地下害虫种类较多,主要包括金龟子、叩甲、天牛、蝼蛄、拟步甲和地老虎等6类。地下害虫又以金龟子为主,主要有华北大黑鳃金龟、铜绿丽金龟、黑绒鳃金龟、斑喙丽金龟、鲜黄鳃金龟、暗黑鳃金龟等6种。金龟子从4月中旬至9月初均灯下可见,以6~7月为诱集高峰期。主要诱集天敌昆虫为步甲、隐翅甲、寄生蜂和瓢虫等4类,除步甲外,其它3类诱集量相对较小,步甲诱集高峰期为4月下旬至5月上旬。频振式杀虫灯最佳使用时间为6~7月,在此期间诱杀苎麻田金龟子类地下害虫数量大、种类多,且避免大量杀伤天敌昆虫。频振式杀虫灯在苎麻田金龟子类地下害虫预测预报和防治中具有较好的推广应用前景。     

Energy transfer between Ce3+ → Gd3+ or Tb3+ in KNaSO4 microphosphor

KNaSO₄ microphosphor doped with Ce,Gd and Ce,Tb and prepared by a wet chemical method was studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) characterization. KNaSO₄ has a 5‐µm particle size detected by SEM. KNaSO₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ showed blue and green emission (at 494 nm, 557 nm, 590 nm) of Tb³⁺ due to ⁵D₄ → ⁷F_J (J = 4, 5, 6) transitions. KNaSO₄:Ce³⁺,Gd³⁺ showed luminescence in the ultraviolet (UV) light region at 314 nm for an excitation at 271 nm wavelength. It was observed that efficient energy transfer took place from Ce³⁺ → Gd³⁺ and Ce³⁺ → Tb³⁺ sublattices indicating that Ce³⁺ could effectively sensitize Gd³⁺ or Tb³⁺ (green emission). Ce³⁺ emission weakened and Gd³⁺ or Tb³⁺ enhanced the emission significantly in KNaSO₄. This paper discusses the development and understanding of photoluminescence and the effect of Tb³⁺ and Gd³⁺ on KNaSO₄:Ce³⁺. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
