The interaction of the doped ions with different concentrations and the luminescent properties of the nanocrystals and microcrystals were studied systematically. Their structure and morphology of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were analyzed by means of X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron mi-croscopy （TEM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were also systematically investigated. The results indicated that when the concentration of doped Eu3＋was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emis-sion intensity of Eu3＋ions was degenerating with Tb3＋content increasing, while when the Tb3＋content was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emission intensity of Tb3＋ions reached a maximum when the concentration of Eu3＋was 2 mol.%, implying that the energy transfer from Eu3＋to Tb3＋took place. In addition, Tb3＋could inspire blue-green light and the Eu3＋could inspire red light. Therefore co-doping systems by controlling the doping concentration and the hosts are the potential white emission materials.展开更多

The as-prepared Sr3Gd2(Si3O9)2:Tb^3+ samples showed broad excitation spectrum from 250 to 400 nm and presented characteristic emission transitions ^5D4→^7FJ(J=6, 5, 4, 3) of Tb^3+ under 313 nm excitation, which were located at about 488, 541, 584 and 620 nm. The emission intensities of Tb^3+ rose steadily in Sr3Gd2(Si3O9)2 host with the increase of Tb^3+ concentration even though Gd^3+ ions were completely replaced by Tb^3+ ions. The Ce^3+ ion as a sensitizer could efficiently improve the performance of Tb^3+ ion. First, with Ce^3+ co-doping, the excitation spectrum of Tb^3+ monitored at 541 nm showed a similar band that responds to the violet emission of Ce^3+ monitored at 416 nm. Second, the quantum yields of Sr3Gd2(Si3O9)2:Tb^3+ phosphors could be enhanced from 26.6% to 80.2% by co-doping Ce^3+. Finally, the co-doping of Ce^3+ was also effective to improve the thermal stability of Sr3Gd2(Si3O9)2:Tb^3+. As the temperature rose to 150 oC, the emission intensity of Tb^3+ remained at about 83.6% of that measured at room temperature, which was better than the commercial YAG:Ce phosphor in terms of their thermal quenching properties. These results indicated that the as-prepared Sr3Gd2(Si3O9)2:Tb^3+,Ce^3+ samples could be used as green emission phosphors for possible applications in near ultraviolet based WLEDs.展开更多
