In order to investigate the influence of Al/Sr ratio on luminescence properties of xSrO·yAl2O3:Eu2+,Dy3+ luminous fibers, several kinds of rare earth strontium aluminate luminous fibers were prepared by using rare-earth strontium aluminate as the rare-earth luminescent material and fiber-forming polymers such as polymer polyethylene terephthalate(PET) as a matrix and combining them with functional additives. X-ray diffraction(XRD), fluorescence spectrophotometer, and afterglow brightness tester as well as microcomputer thermo-luminescence dosimeters were used to characterize the resulting samples. Results from XRD demonstrated that the phase of xSrO·yAl2O3:Eu2+,Dy3+ luminous fibers were different from one another as the Al/Sr ratio changed. Emission spectra of the samples with different Al/Sr ratios showed that emission intensity increased with the decrease of A1/Sr ratio at first then increased when it was over 2/1. From afterglow decay results, it could be found that Sr-rich sample showed lower luminance and shorter persistent time.展开更多

The phase structure and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Doping YAl3(BO3)4: Eu^3+ phosphors with concentration of Eu^3+ ions of 0, 2, 5, 8 and 10 mol% were studied and their luminescent properties at room temperature were discussed. The excitation spectrum of Y0.95Eu0.05Al3(BO3)4 was composed of a broad band centered at about 252 nm and a group of lines in the longer wavelength region. In the emission spectra, the peak wavelength was about 614 nm under a 252 nm UV excitation. The optimal doping concentration of Eu^3+ ions in YAl3(BO3)4: Eu^3+ phosphors was 8 mol%.展开更多

To study the growth mechanism of {0001} face, we have observed the growth morphology on {0001} polishing section by atomic force microscopy (AFM). A series of AFM images captured in different growth durations on the {0001} polishing section reflect the crystal growth process. It is shown that the growth morphology on the {0001} polishing section was rough with many hillocks at the first growth stage, and it can become smooth finally, although the growth morphology on the {0001} face developed naturally on YbYAB crystal habit is always rough. On the smooth {0001} surface formed at the last growth stage, there are some triangular pits. This fact is different from that of hillocks in most crystal growth morphologies. AFM can easily distinguish the pits or hillocks on the surface, but differential interfere contrast microscopy (DIC) can not do. The orientation of the triangular pits is just the opposite to the triangular {0001} faces. The chemical etching pattern is also composed of this kind of triangular pits. These growth morphology and etching pattern of the {0001} faces show 3m symmetry, but the point group of YbYAB crystal is 32. The symmetric contradiction between morphology and point group does not exist for quartz, although which has the same point group as YbYAB. From quartz {0001} surface morphology we can distinguish the right form or left form of the crystal, but from YbYAB {0001} surface morphology we can not do. The reason for the symmetric contradiction between YbYAB {0001} surface morphology and its point group is not known yet.展开更多
