To modify the photoluminescence properties the Eu(DBM)3 bath complexes were encapsulated into the sub-nanometer pores of aluminosilicates zeolites L and Yand characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micrographs (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra. The luminescent properties of the encapsulated composites (Eu-L and Eu-Y) were systematically studied. The results indicate that in both the two composites the crystal-field symmetry becomes lower, as a consequence, the 5D0-7F2 electronicdipole transition relative to the 5D0-7F1 magnetic-dipole transition of Eu3+ increases in contrast to the pure complexes. The outer quantum efficiency of the Eu3+ emission and the photostability of Eu3+ are both improved considerably. The adsorption of water in the composites has influence on the thermostability and decay dynamics of the Eu3+ emission. In the composite Eu-L, which contains less water the thermostability of luminescence is improved considerably and the lifetime becomes longer in comparison to the pure complexes. Overall, zeolite L is a more ideal host material for modification of lanthanide complexes.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure and its effects on the photoluminescence properties of SrS:Eu2+,Sm3+ thin films grown with different conditions were studied by transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence techniques. The SrS:Eu2+,Sm3+ thin films were prepared by e-beam evaporation at different substrate temperatures and growth rates. Both of these growth conditions affect the crystallinity of the thin films. The Sm3+ emission is stronger in the films grown at higher growth rates and at an optimum substrate temperature. We believe that the stronger Sm3+ emission is due to the higher population of Sm trivalent charge states in the films. Further increase of the substrate temperature increases the grain size in the films, but has no significant effect on the PL emission properties. In contrast, the Eu2+ emission is less sensitive to growth conditions.

Novel single-crystalline SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized by chemical vapour deposition. Sn powder in a ceramic boat covered with Si plates was heated at 1100°C in a flowing argon atmosphere to get deposits on a Si wafers. The main part of deposits is SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). SEM observations reveal that the SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons are almost uniform, with lengths near to several hundred micrometers and have a good periodically tuned microstructure as the same zigzag angle and growth directions. Possible growth mechanism of these zigzag nanoribbons was discussed. A room temperature PL spectrum of the zigzag nanoribbons shows three peaks at 373nm, 421nm and 477nm.The novel zigzag microstructures will provide a new candidate for potential application.

The luminescent europium-doped hydroxyapatite (Eu:HAp, Ca10−xEux(PO4)6(OH)2) with0≤x≤0.2nanocrystalline powders was synthesized by coprecipitation. The structural, morphological, and textural properties were well characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The vibrational studies were performed by Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that hydroxyapatite is the unique crystalline constituent of all the samples, indicating that Eu has been successfully inserted into the HAp lattice. Eu doping inhibits HAp crystallization, leading to a decrease of the average crystallite size from around 20 nm in the undoped sample to around 7 nm in the sample with the highest Eu concentration. Furthermore, the samples show the characteristic5D0→7F0transition observed at 578 nm related to Eu3+ions distributed on Ca2+sites of the apatitic structure.

ZnS: Cu/Fe nanocrystals were synthesized by hydrothermal method with thioglycolic acid as a stabilizer. The phases, grain size and luminescent properties of the nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence photometer respectively. The results showed that ZnS: Cu/Fe nanoparticles have a particle size about 7nm and possess a cubic zinc blende crystal structure. The luminous intensity of ZnS: Cu/Fe nanocrystals was strongly when they were reacted at 140°C for 12 hours.

Europium-doped Na 1.45 La 8.55-8.55x( SiO 4)6( F 0.9 O 1.1)(0.000 ≤ x ≤ 0.045) phosphors were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method at 1200°C and their properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a spectral analysis system. No impurities were observed. The phosphor could be excited at 254 nm, 395 nm and 465 nm to yield a reddish orange emission which was attributed to the 5 D 0 → 7 F j (j = 0–2) transitions of the Eu ion.

Eu(DBM)3•phen complexes have been Successfully synthesized by the sonication of an Ethanol solution of europium chloride and dibenzoylmethanide (DBM) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline(phen). The properties of the Eu(DBM)3•phen complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and fluorescence spectrometry (FS). Reaction conditions, such as ultrasonic power and the concentration of complexing reagent, were found to have close relation with the morphologies of final products. The formation mechanism of Eu(DBM)3•phen complexes with ultrasonic irradiation is discussed in the context.

Hexagonal NaYF4:Ln3+ micro/nanoplates were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method using oxalic acid as a shape modifier. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) have been used to study the morphologies and crystal structure of the products. The effects of the pH values and the molar ratio of oxalic acid to NaOH on the crystal growth have been investigated in detail. The time-dependent experiments have been conducted to investigate the morphology evolution process, and based on the results, a possible growth mechanism was proposed. The photoluminescence properties of 5 mol% Eu3+ and 3 mol% Sm3+ doped NaYF4 and 20 mol% Yb3+/2 mol% Er3+ codoped NaYF4 micro/nanoplates were investigated. The experimental results showed that NaYF4:Ln3+ micro/nanoplates have excellent luminescence and can be potential application in the field of light display systems, lasers, and optoelectronic devices.

Eu3+ doped CdWO4 nanorods, with nearly uniform nanoscale was synthesized via a novel simple hydrothermal method easy for commercial run at 160 °C, of which the average dimensions are about 250, 50 and 20 nm in length, width and height respectively from the result of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern shows the product is pure wolframite structure. Different from undoped products showed brilliant blue-green irradiation and block crystals with multi-emission bands in red light range, the Eu doped nanorods give preferred strong 5D0→7F2 transition and are excellent red phosphor with high color purity supported by the photoluminescent (PL) measurements and ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). This suggests that a combination of the Eu3+ doped and undoped products are potential to realize the white lighting LED with blue, green and red components.

Ultra-long, single crystal, Eu-doped α-Si3N4 nanowires were prepared by a simple approach involving nitriding Eu-doped cryomilled nanocrystalline Si powder in NH3 flow at 1350 °C for 4 h. Phases, chemical composition and microcosmic feature of cryomilled powders and as-prepared nanowires were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results suggested that Eu was successfully introduced into Si lattice after the cryomilling process and then entered into the lattice of α-Si3N4 during the nitridation process. The as-synthesized Eu-doped α-Si3N4 nanowires had highly uniform dimension with 20~30 nm in diameter and ~100 μm in length. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of as-synthesized nanowires showed a broad band emission center at 570 nm which was attributed to the transition from 4f65d to 4f7 in Eu2+. The transition from Eu3+ to Eu2+ during nitridation process was tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
