Due to the different temperature responses of two emission centers([WO6]6-and Sm^(3+)),the temperature sensing capability of Lu_(2)WO_(6):Sm^(3+)phosphors was studied.Fluorescence intensity(FI),fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR),Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates and excitation intensity ratio are the four modes for temperature sensing,and their maximum relative sensitivities are 2.62%/K(350 K),2.06%/K(320 K),0.67%/K(329 K) and 2.42%/K(303 K),respectively.Furthermore,within 303-483 K temperature range,the relative sensitivities based on FI and FIR are bigger than 1.67%/K and 1.16%/K,respectively.Our findings suggest that Lu_(2)WO_(6):Sm^(3+)phosphors with four temperature measurement modes might be applied in multi-mode self-calibration optical thermometers.展开更多

But systematic research or review on the luminescence quenching character and/or how to realize thermally stable luminescence are lacking. Since TQ is an inherent property of phosphors, it can be diminished by different approaches.This review proceeds from the mechanism of TQ, summarizes previous researches on improving the thermal stability of LED phosphors and also discusses future research opportunities in this field. The developments of the phosphors with properties of high luminance and thermal stability, as well as the improved strategies involved,will benefit the basic researches and applications in high power lighting or high-luminance laser lighting.展开更多

Currently, WLEDs with high color rendering are mainly based on wavelength conversion by one or more phosphor materials. In this review, the recent developments of phosphors for WLEDs were introduced combined with the relative work of our group. The common methods for generating white light for blue/ultraviolet（UV） WLEDs were summarized, including：（1） optimizing the commercially used phosphors;（2） developing some new phosphors based on UV LEDs chips;（3） realizing white light emission based on single host. Moreover, some typical new developed phosphors and their luminescence properties were introduced.展开更多

It is found that YAG phase from the dried gel powders appears at 1000 ℃ then the pure YAG phase exists at a relatively lower sintering temperature of 1400 ℃. The smaller sizes of phosphors in the ranges of 1 - 3 μm are obtained due to the contribution of seeding effects of nano-sized alumina particles to strengthen each step of the processes. Both the excitation and emission spectra of photoluminescence of the phosphor obtained at 1400 ℃ meet well with the spectroscopic requirements of the WLED phosphors.展开更多

In this paper, the commercial Eu2＋-activated nitride red phosphors, Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05, Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15 and Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01 phosphors were an-nealed at different temperatures （beyond 300 oC） to investigate the dependence of their luminescence performance and structure vari-ability on the temperature. By photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calo-rimetry （TG-DSC） analysis, the high temperature stability of the hosts and activator of the three samples were disclosed. With the an-nealing temperature increasing, the activator Eu2＋ions were firstly oxidized and then host in Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05 and Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15, but for Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01, only the oxidation of the host could be observed, which would lead to the luminescence degradation and even failure of these phosphors. The activator Eu2＋ions were much more stable in CaAlSiN3：Eu than Sr2Si5N8：Eu due to their crystal surroundings, and its concentration also influenced the temperature stability of Sr2Si5N8：Eu.展开更多

文摘Low-carbon smart parks achieve selfbalanced carbon emission and absorption through the cooperative scheduling of direct current(DC)-based distributed photovoltaic,energy storage units,and loads.Direct current power line communication(DC-PLC)enables real-time data transmission on DC power lines.With traffic adaptation,DC-PLC can be integrated with other complementary media such as 5G to reduce transmission delay and improve reliability.However,traffic adaptation for DC-PLC and 5G integration still faces the challenges such as coupling between traffic admission control and traffic partition,dimensionality curse,and the ignorance of extreme event occurrence.To address these challenges,we propose a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based delay sensitive and reliable traffic adaptation algorithm(DSRTA)to minimize the total queuing delay under the constraints of traffic admission control,queuing delay,and extreme events occurrence probability.DSRTA jointly optimizes traffic admission control and traffic partition,and enables learning-based intelligent traffic adaptation.The long-term constraints are incorporated into both state and bound of drift-pluspenalty to achieve delay awareness and enforce reliability guarantee.Simulation results show that DSRTA has lower queuing delay and more reliable quality of service(QoS)guarantee than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

文摘Cr^(3+)-activated phosphors have attracted significant attention for their tunable emission,spanning narrow-band red to broadband near-infrared(NIR)luminescence,depending on the crystal field environment.Here,we report the realization of wideband NIR emission in Cr^(3+)-doped GaScO_(3)(GaScO_(3):Cr^(3+))phosphors with perovskite structure.The phosphors were synthesized by traditional solid-state reaction method.The first-principles calculations were conducted and the results demonstrate that the octahedral[GaO_(6)]sites exhibit relatively weak crystal field strength(Dq/B≈2.2),facilitating efficient spin-allowed transitions of Cr^(3+)from the^(4)T_(2)state to the^(4)A_(2)state.The photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed an exceptionally broad NIR emission band from a range of 700 nm-1200 nm with full width at half maximum(FWHM)of 145 nm under 465-nm excitation.Overall,these results highlight the viability of GaScO_(3):Cr^(3+)as a highly promising material for wideband NIR applications.
文摘This paper reports the preparation of yttrium oxide(Y_(2)O_(3))doped with various concentrations of Er^(3+)using high temperature synthesis method.Photoluminescence(PL)emission spectra of the samples were recorded at an excitation of 980 nm laser source.Two prominent peaks centered at 484 nm and 574 nm were found and attributed to the^(2)P3/2→^(4)I_(11/2)and^(4)S_(3/2)→^(4)I_(15/2),respectively.The sample with 2.5 mol%of Er^(3+)provided the optimum intensity in emission spectra.The sample with optimum PL emission was investigated for its thermoluminescence(TL)glow curve exhibited the second order kinetics.The peak TL intensity was found around 236°C,i.e.,towards high temperature which supports the fact of formation of deeper traps.Therefore,the material taken may be regarded as a good candidate for light emitting diode(LED)applications.

文摘A set of germanate garnet phosphors containing Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)were adequately synthesized using the high-temperature solid-state technique.The structural properties,photoluminescence characteristics,fluorescence lifetimes,and temperature-sensing capabilities of the phosphors were thoroughly investigated.X-ray diffraction confirms the crystalline structure of the phosphors,while photoluminescence spectra reveal a colour shift attributed to the trans fer of energy from Tb^(3+)to Eu^(3+)as the concentration of Eu^(3+)increases.The phosphors excited by UV light display a transition in colour from green to yellow,and subsequently to red,which can be used as a colour tunable phosphor in white light-emitting diode(w-LED) applications.As a novel temperature sensing material,the maximum relative sensitivity of Ca_(3)Sc_(2)Ge_(3)O_(12):Tb^(3+),Eu^(3+)phosphor is 0.1044 K-1(298 K),highlighting its potential for applications in temperature sensing.
文摘To meet the high demands of modern technology for temperature sensors,Lu_(2)WO_(6):Sm^(3+)self-activated phosphors were selected to design four-mode optical thermometers.A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the synthetic method,structural and luminescent characteristics,and energy transfer mechanism([WO6]6-→Sm^(3+)). Due to the different temperature responses of two emission centers([WO6]6-and Sm^(3+)),the temperature sensing capability of Lu_(2)WO_(6):Sm^(3+)phosphors was studied.Fluorescence intensity(FI),fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR),Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates and excitation intensity ratio are the four modes for temperature sensing,and their maximum relative sensitivities are 2.62%/K(350 K),2.06%/K(320 K),0.67%/K(329 K) and 2.42%/K(303 K),respectively.Furthermore,within 303-483 K temperature range,the relative sensitivities based on FI and FIR are bigger than 1.67%/K and 1.16%/K,respectively.Our findings suggest that Lu_(2)WO_(6):Sm^(3+)phosphors with four temperature measurement modes might be applied in multi-mode self-calibration optical thermometers.

文摘Cr^(3+)-activated spinel-type phosphors have great potential in different application scenes due to their unique sharp and far-red(FR)emission.However,the multi-functionalization of these phosphors is still limited by their unsatisfied comprehensive properties.Herein,a simple composition engineering was used to explore versatile phosphors,using Ga^(3+)to substitute Al^(3+)to improve the optical performances of spinel LiAl5-xGa_(x)O_(8):Cr^(3+).The substitution of Ga^(3+)evidently affects the crystal field environment of Cr^(3+)and further accounts for the luminescence optimization.Using the optimized phosphor,two sensitive thermometers based on fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)technique were explored on account of the different temperature dependencies of^(4)T_(2)→^(4)A_(2)and2E→^(4)A_(2)emission and of R2and R1emission.The maximum relative sensitivity Sr are 1.29%/K at 323 K and 1.94%/K at 298 K,respectively,which are superior to that of the Ga^(3+)-unsubstituted one.Besides,the Ga^(3+)→Al^(3+)substitutions endow the resultant phosphors with larger atomic number(Zeff)and theoretical density,which is more conducive to improving X-ray-stimulated emission for X-ray detection.Finally,the potential applications of the developed phosphor are also reflected in plant growth and night vision surveillance,as it is shown to be capable of matching with the absorption of phytochrome PFRand visualizing objects in the dark.This contribution not only proves that the developed LiAl5-xGa_(x)O_(8):Cr^(3+)FR phosphors are promising versatile platforms,but also provides an essential guidance for designing more novel multi-functional materials.

文摘Er^(3+)-and Tm^(3+)-doped Ca_(x)Sr_(2-x)Nb_(2)O_(7)(C_(x)S_(2-x)N,x=0.6,0.8,1,0,1.2,1,4) phosphors with layered pe rovskite structure were designed.These phosphors exhibit a dominant emission peak at 549 nm under980 nm laser excitation,attributed to the^(4)S_(3/2)→^(4)I_(15/2)transition.By increasing the content of Ca^(2+),the crystal field regulation of rare earth ions is realized and the luminescence enhancement is induced,which is manifested by the increase of^(2)H_(11/2),^(4)S_(3/2)→^(4)I_(15/2)emission.Furthermore,the temperature sensing sensitivities of C_(0.6)S_(1.4)N:Er,Tm and C_(0.6)S_(1.4)N:Er,Tm based on non-thermally coupled energy levels were studied.Finally,an anti-counterfeiting imprint was prepared using phosphors,which have high brightness and excellent photothermal stability.This work not only confirms that closer ionic radii substitution enables to increase the electronic density of states,improve the crystal field symmetry and enhance the luminescence,but also provides a promising phosphor system for temperature sensing and anti-counterfeiting applications,opening up new prospects in the optimization of the optical properties of phosphors.

文摘This paper considers the problem of time varying congestion pricing to determine optimal time-varying tolls at peak periods for a queuing network with the interactions between buses and private cars.Through the combined applications of the space-time expanded network（STEN） and the conventional network equilibrium modeling techniques,a multi-class,multi-mode and multi-criteria traffic network equilibrium model is developed.Travelers of different classes have distinctive value of times（VOTs）,and travelers from the same class perceive their travel disutility or generalized costs on a route according to different weights of travel time and travel costs.Moreover,the symmetric cost function model is extended to deal with the interactions between buses and private cars.It is found that there exists a uniform（anonymous） link toll pattern which can drive a multi-class,multi-mode and multi-criteria user equilibrium flow pattern to a system optimum when the system＇s objective function is measured in terms of money.It is also found that the marginal cost pricing models with a symmetric travel cost function do not reflect the interactions between traffic flows of different road sections,and the obtained congestion pricing toll is smaller than the real value.

文摘Phosphor-converted white light-emitting diode(LED) lighting has gained tremendous achievements since the invention of the InGaN blue LED by Nakamura et al., who won the Nobel Physics Prize in 2014.By far, a significant challenge comes from the thermal quenching(TQ) behavior of the present LED phosphors during the high-power LED operation or the updated laser lighting. But systematic research or review on the luminescence quenching character and/or how to realize thermally stable luminescence are lacking. Since TQ is an inherent property of phosphors, it can be diminished by different approaches.This review proceeds from the mechanism of TQ, summarizes previous researches on improving the thermal stability of LED phosphors and also discusses future research opportunities in this field. The developments of the phosphors with properties of high luminance and thermal stability, as well as the improved strategies involved,will benefit the basic researches and applications in high power lighting or high-luminance laser lighting.

文摘As new light sources for next-generation illumination, white light-emitting diodes（WLEDs） have been extensively developed and are commercially available due to their excellent advantages, such as high efficiency, energy-saving, compactness, long operational lifetime and environmental friendliness. Currently, WLEDs with high color rendering are mainly based on wavelength conversion by one or more phosphor materials. In this review, the recent developments of phosphors for WLEDs were introduced combined with the relative work of our group. The common methods for generating white light for blue/ultraviolet（UV） WLEDs were summarized, including：（1） optimizing the commercially used phosphors;（2） developing some new phosphors based on UV LEDs chips;（3） realizing white light emission based on single host. Moreover, some typical new developed phosphors and their luminescence properties were introduced.
文摘The sub-micron sized YAG ： Ce phosphors were synthesized via a modified sol-gel method by peptizing nano-pesudoboehmite particulate. It is found that YAG phase from the dried gel powders appears at 1000 ℃ then the pure YAG phase exists at a relatively lower sintering temperature of 1400 ℃. The smaller sizes of phosphors in the ranges of 1 - 3 μm are obtained due to the contribution of seeding effects of nano-sized alumina particles to strengthen each step of the processes. Both the excitation and emission spectra of photoluminescence of the phosphor obtained at 1400 ℃ meet well with the spectroscopic requirements of the WLED phosphors.

文摘We synthesized NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+phosphors of different doping concentrations by a molten salt method.This facile way possesses advantages such as simple process,lower calcination temperature(350℃)and small particle size(70 nm).The crystal system is tetragonal phase and crystal lattice is body centered.The photo luminescence measurements including emission spectra,excitation spectra and fluorescence decay curves were carried out,elucidating that NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+can be effectively excited by near UV and blue light.Moreover,it can be concluded that Eu3+energy transfer type is exchange interaction.Huang-Rhys factor and the critical energy transfer distance(Rc)were calculated to be 0.043 and 0.995 nm,respectively.Auzel’s model was used to obtain the intrinsic radiative transition lifetime of5 D0 level(τ0=0.923 ms).Furthermore,a calculation method was used to calculate refractive index n of nontransparent NaY(MoO4)2:1 mol%Eu3+phosphor,and n was obtained to be 1.86.

文摘Yellow-emitting YAG：Ce3＋ nanocrystalline phosphors were prepared by citrate sol-gel combustion method using citric acid as the fuel and chelating agent. The influence of mole ratio of citric acid to metallic ions （MRCM）, pH value of the solution, calcination temperature and Ce-doped concentration on the structures and properties of as-prepared powders were investigated in detail. Higher crystallinity and better luminescence performance powders were obtained at MRCM=2, pH=3 and the calcination temperature of 1200 ℃. The phosphors exhibited the charactefistc broadband visible luminescence of YAG：Ce. The optimum concentration of Ce3＋ was 1.0 tool.%, and the concentration quenching was derived from the reciprocity between electric dipole and electric quadrupole （d-q）. Especially, the pH value of the solution was a key factor to obtain a stable sol-gel system and then obtain pure and homogeneous rare earth ions doped YAG phosphors at a lower tem- perature. The Y3Al5O12：Ce0.03 phosphor with optimized synthesis-condition and composition had a similar luminescence intensity with the commercial phosphor YAG：Ce.

文摘The novel nitride-based luminescent materials have received much attention since the end of the last century. In this paper, the commercial Eu2＋-activated nitride red phosphors, Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05, Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15 and Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01 phosphors were an-nealed at different temperatures （beyond 300 oC） to investigate the dependence of their luminescence performance and structure vari-ability on the temperature. By photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calo-rimetry （TG-DSC） analysis, the high temperature stability of the hosts and activator of the three samples were disclosed. With the an-nealing temperature increasing, the activator Eu2＋ions were firstly oxidized and then host in Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05 and Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15, but for Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01, only the oxidation of the host could be observed, which would lead to the luminescence degradation and even failure of these phosphors. The activator Eu2＋ions were much more stable in CaAlSiN3：Eu than Sr2Si5N8：Eu due to their crystal surroundings, and its concentration also influenced the temperature stability of Sr2Si5N8：Eu.
