The Gd2O2SO4：Pr powder compacts can be sintered to single phase Gd2O2S：Pr ceramics with a relative density of 99% and mean grain size of 30um at 1750℃ for 2 h in flowing hydrogen atmosphere. Densification and microstructural development of the Gd2O2S：Pr ceramics were examined. Luminescence spectra of the Gd2O2S：Pr ceramic under 309 nm UV excitation and X-ray excitation show a green emission at 511 nm as the most prominent peak, which corresponds to the ^3p0-3H4 transition of Pr^3＋ ions.展开更多
