Luminescence properties and energy transfer of La3Ga5SiO14:Eu3+, Tb3+ phosphors

Abstract: In this paper, a series of Eu3+/Tb3+ doped La3Ga5SiO14 (LGS:Eu3+, Tb3+) phosphors with excellent performance have been synthesized by high-temperature solid-phase method. The effects of Eu3+ and Tb3+ doping in LGS on the host lattice were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) proved that the Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions were successfully doped into the LGS host. The doped Eu3+/Tb3+ ions only occupy the eight-coordinated La3+ sites. The concentration quenching points of LGS:Eu3+ and LGS:Tb3+ phosphors were determined to be 0.16 and 0.18, respectively. The luminescence performance and fluorescence lifetime of LGS:Eu3+, Tb3+ were studied. LGS:Eu3+, Tb3+ phosphors successfully realized Tb3+ → Eu3+ energy transfer to enhance Eu3+ luminescence. The energy transfer mechanism is speculated on using the experimental results. The energy transfer efficiency from Tb3+ to Eu3+ is about 66.83% in La2.46Tb0.18Eu0.36Ga5SiO14. The LGS:Eu3+, Tb3+ phosphors can achieve tunable luminescence by controlling the doping concentrations of Eu3+ and Tb3+. The ΔE is calculated to be 0.2567 eV for the La2.70Eu0.12Tb0.18Ga5SiO14 phosphor.

Influence of Mg 2+ /Ga 3+ doping on luminescence of Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ phosphors

Abstract: Mg2+/Ga3+ doped Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphors were synthesized through a solid state reaction. The phase and luminescent of the synthesized phosphors were investigated. For Ga3+ codoped Y2.96Ce0.04Al(5−x)GaxO12 phosphors, the emission intensity increases with the increase of Ga3+ concentration up to Y2.96Ce0.04Al4.80Ga0.20O12 and then decreases with a further increase of Ga3+ concentration, but the emission peak shifts to shorter wavelength continuously in the Ga3+ doping concentration range of 0.05–0.25. For Mg2+/Ga3+ codoped Y2.96Ce0.04Al(4.8−y)Ga0.20MgyO12 phosphors, the emission intensity decreases and the emission peak shifts to longer wavelength continuously in the Mg2+ doping concentration range of 0.02–0.12. The emission spectra of Y2.96Ce0.04Al(4.8−y)Ga0.20MgyO12 phosphors demonstrate that the codoped Mg2+/Ga3+ ions not only induce the enhancement of Y2.96Ce0.04Al5O12 emission intensity but also lead to the red shift of Y2.96Ce0.04Al5O12 emission peak. The decay lifetimes decrease in Mg2+/Ga3+ codoped Y2.96Ce0.04Al5O12 phosphors due to defects formed by substitutions of Y3+ by Mg2+/Ga3+.

Structure-Property Correlations in Ce-Doped Garnet Phosphors for Use in Solid State Lighting

Abstract: Abstract The discovery of inorganic phosphors that can be excited by GaN light emitting diodes in the wavelength range 380–460 nm is essential for improving the efficiency and light quality of solid state lighting devices. Garnets doped with Ce 3+ are of particular interest for this application. We have studied the luminescence of Ce 3+ in garnet phosphors and established a relationship between the excitation/emission wavelengths and the deviation from cubic symmetry around the rare-earth ion. Data are presented for both known yttrium aluminum and yttrium gallium garnet systems, as well as newly synthesized inverse garnets of the general formula Mg 3 Y 2− y Gd y Ge 3− z Si z O 12 :Ce (0 ⩽ y ⩽ 2, z = 0, 1).

Single-Molecular White-Light Emitters and Their Potential WOLED Applications.

Abstract: White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are superior to traditional incandescent light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps in terms of their merits in ensuring pure white-light emission, low-energy consumption, large-area thin-film fabrication, etc. Unfortunately, WOLEDs based on multilayered or multicomponent (red, green, and blue (RGB)) emissive layers can suffer from some remarkable disadvantages, such as intricate device fabrication and voltage-dependent emission color, etc. Single molecules, which can emit white light, can be used to replace multiple emitters, leading to a simplified fabrication process, stable and reproducible WOLEDs. Recently, the performance of WOLEDs by using single molecules is catching up with that of the state-of-the-art devices fabricated by multicomponent emitters. Therefore, an increasing attention has been paid on single white-light-emitting materials for efficient WOLEDs. In this review, different mechanisms of white-light emission from a single molecule and the performance of single-molecule-based WOLEDs are collected and expounded, hoping to light up the interesting subject on single-molecule white-light-emitting materials, which have great potential as white-light emitters for illumination and lighting applications in the world.

Strong Nonlinearity Induced by Coaxial Alignment of Polar Chain and Dense [BO3] Units in CaZn2(BO3)2.

Abstract: Discovery of new efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with large second-order nonlinearity for short-wave UV spectral region (λ PM ≤ 266 nm, PM = phase-matching) is still very challenging. Herein, by applying tetrahedra substitution strategy based on Sr 2 Be 2 B 2 O 7 (SBBO), a new beryllium-free borate CaZn 2 (BO 3 ) 2 with double-layered configuration was rationally designed, which not only preserves the structural merits but also eliminates the limitations of SBBO crystal. CaZn 2 (BO 3 ) 2 shows a large PM second harmonic generation (SHG) reponse of 3.8×KDP, which is 38 times higher than its barium analogue. This enhancement originates from the 1 [Zn 2 O 6 ] ∞ polar chains with large net dipole moment and [BO 3 ] units with high NLO active density. Our findings show the great significance of [ZnO 4 ] tetrahedra introduced strategy to design beryllium-free SBBO-type NLO crystals and also verify the feasibility of using simple non-isomorphic substitution to induce giant second-order nonlinearity enhancement.
