The crystal structures, photoluminescence, thermolurninescenee properties and afterglow proper- ties of the phosphors were characterized systematically using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, luminescence spectrophotometer, microcom- puter thermoluminescence dosimeter and single photon counter, respectively. Under 280 nm excitation, the broadband emissions of Eu2＋ ions were observed at 445 nm （blue） due to the 4f7→4f65d transition. It was demonstrated that there existed the self-reduction of the Eu3＋ to Eu2＋ ions in this special halide-phosphate matrix in air condition. The addition of Gd3＋ ions obviously enhanced the after- glow properties of the single doped Eu2＋ ions in the halide-phosphate phosphors. And the content of the fluoride anions also had sig- nificant influence on the afterglow properties. All results indicated that Srs （PO4）3 FxCI1-x：Eu2＋,Gd3＋ might be potential phosphors for long lasting phosphorescence （LLP） materials.展开更多

The oxidation behavior of GY-YSZ at 1 050 ℃ was investigated using impedance spectroscopy （IS） combined with scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry （XRD）. Various electrical responses observed in the impedance spectra corresponding to GY-YSZ grains and grain boundaries were explained using circuit modeling. The change in the conduction mechanism of GY-YSZ was found to be related to the O^2- vacancy and lattice distortion due to the stabilizer diffusion during the oxidation. The results also suggested that the specific oxidation information about the GY-YSZ grains and grain boundaries should be acquired at a moderate measurement temperature, which was related to the resistance value in the impedance spectra. The resistance values of the GY-YSZ grains and grain boundaries should be measured at 200 ℃ and 300 ℃, respectively.展开更多
