Calcium chlorophosphate (Ca2PO4Cl) phosphors, activated by rare earth ions Eu3+ and Ce3+ were prepared by urea assisted combustion synthesis technique and their characterization and luminescent properties were studied. The synthesized phosphors were investigated by powdered XRD, SEM and Photoluminescence characterization (PL) methods. PL excitation spectra of Ca2PO4Cl:Eu3+/Ce3+ phosphor exhibit narrow bands in the near ultra violet (n-UV) range, and the PL emission spectra of Ca2PO4Cl: Eu3+/Ce3+ phosphor shows sharp narrow bands typical of rare earth ions. The bands observed in the PL emission and excitation spectra of Ca2PO4Cl: Eu3+/Ce3+ phosphors can be ascribed to the electronic transitions within 4f configurations of rare earth ions. The excitation peaks for Ca2PO4Cl: Eu3+ is in n-UV range. The obtained results suggest that these phosphors may be favorable for lamp industry.

The paper presents the results of a study of the luminescent properties of calcium gallate activated by trivalent rare earth ions Yb3+ and Er3+. IR luminescence spectra of samples with a single activator Ca1‑хYbxGa2O4,Ca1‑хErxGa2O4 were studied when excited by radiation sources with a wavelength of 940 and 790 nm, respectively. The dependence of the luminescence intensity of samples on the concentration of rare earth ions is obtained. When the two-activator composition of Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4 is excited by a semiconductor laser diode with a wavelength of 940 nm, IR luminescence is registered in the regions of 980-1100 nm and 1450-1670 nm. The radiation in these bands corresponds to electronic transitions in Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, respectively. For a luminescence band with a maximum at a wavelength of 1540 nm, the excitation spectra were measured, the maximum intensity is at the wavelengths: 930, 941, 970, 980 nm. The dependence of the IR luminescence intensity of a solid solution of Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4 on the concentration of Er3+ ions was studied. With an increase in the concentration of Er3+ ions in the luminescence spectra, there is a redistribution in the intensity of the bands belonging to Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, which indicates the presence of energy transfer processes between these ions. The kinetics of IR luminescence attenuation was studied for series with one and two activators: Ca1‑хYbxGa2O4,Ca1‑хErxGa2O4, Ca1‑х‑yYbxEryGa2O4. It is established that the luminescence attenuation occurs mainly according to the exponential law, which indicates the predominance of the intracenter luminescence mechanism in the studied structures. Based on the analysis of the excitation and luminescence spectra of experimental samples, conclusions are made about the interaction of Yb3+ and Er3+ activator ions in the crystal lattice of calcium gallate.

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.

The series of luminescent materials of Eu3 +, Tb3 + doped Li2SrSiO4 were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. The phase purity of the samples was measured by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The luminescent properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible excitation spectra and emission spectra The It is found that the strong absorption of Eu3 + doped Li2-xSr1-xEuxSiO4 is from the 250 ~ 290 nm charge transfer band of Eu3 + and the 7F0 → 5L6 absorption transition of 393 nm. The strongest emission of the emission spectra at 393 nm is 614 nm and 701 nm, respectively, from the 5D0 → 7F2 and 5D0 → 7F4 transitions of Eu3 +. Tb3 + doped sample Li2-xSr1-xTb xSiO4 excitation spectrum is mainly composed of Tb3 + ion fd transition and charge transfer band composed of broadband, the strongest absorption at 269 nm, the emission of the main emission of 5D4 → 7F5 transition (542 nm).

Rare earth ions (Tb3+, Eu3+) doped CaWO4 microstructures were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route without using any templates and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results indicate that the asprepared samples are well crystallized with scheelite structure of CaWO4, and the average diameter of the microstructures is 2∼4 μm. The morphology of CaWO4:Eu3+ microstructures can be controllably changed from microspheres to microflowers through altering the doping concentration of Eu3+ from 3% to 35%, and the microflowers are constructed by a number of CaWO4:Eu3+ nanoflakes. Under the excitation of UV light, the emission spectrum of CaWO4:Eu3+ is composed of the characteristics emission of Eu3+ 5D0-7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, and that of CaWO4:Tb3+ is composed of Tb3+ 5D4-7FJ (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions. Both of the optimal doping concentrations of Tb3+ and Eu3+ in CaWO4 microstructures are about 5%.

AbstractFerroelectric oxide nanocrystals, in combination with the robust coupling of an electric field with crystal structure symmetry, makes such systems agreeable to field-induced crystal structural transformation. The luminescent properties of rare earth ions are sensitive to the symmetry of the surrounding crystal field. The luminescence tuning of rare earth ions is an important assignment in the research of luminescent materials. However, the current conditional feasibility and reversibility in the exploration of luminescence modification remain major challenges. In this article, the luminescence modulation of rare earth ions has been developed in Yb3+/Er3+ codoped ferroelectrics glass ceramics containing Bi4Ti3O12 nanocrystals through an electric field. The inclusion of nanocrystals in the glass matrix greatly enhances the electrical resistance. Both upconversion and near-infrared emissions of rare earth ions are effectively enhanced more than twice via polarization engineering. The electric field regulates the photonic properties of rare earth ions with excellent reversibility and nonvolatility in ferroelectrics. The effective modification by electric field provides a new scheme for optical storage and optoelectronic devices.

The Zn0.2Ca0.8TiO3:0.1Pr3+ luminescent materials were prepared by sol-gel technology. The phase transformation of gel was studied by TG-DTA and XRD in heat treatment process. The luminescent properties of phosphor in different calcination temperatures were determined by fluorescence spectrophotometer, and then the best sintering temperature was confirmed. The luminescent properties of phosphor was obtained through the emission/ excitation spectra. The surface appearance measured with SEM. The results showed that the nanoZn0.2Ca0.8TiO3:0.1Pr3+ phosphor could be obtained by sol-gel, sintering at 900°C. It sent out red fluorescent under the Ultra Violet. This characteristic emission peak at 614nm is associated with the typical 1D23H4 transition of Pr3+ion.

ABSTRACTRare earth ions can easily be incorporated into fluoride glasses in moderate to large concentrations and, due to their low phonon energy, these glasses appear to have many advantages over oxide glasses as hosts for rare earth ions used in optical amplifiers and lasers. We have therefore investigated the optical properties of Pr3+, Pr3+/Yb3+ and Pr3+/Yb3+/Lu3+ doped bulk AIF3-based glass samples as a function of rare earth ion concentration. We find that the addition of 2 wt% of Yb increases the fluorescence of Pr3+ at 1.32 μm by a factor of 35 when excited with 488 nm radiation. The fluorescence intensity and excited state lifetimes are found to be comparable to those measured for Pr in a ZBLAN host. Since it has also been demonstrated that optical fibers drawn from AIF3-based glasses exhibit relatively low loss (< 0.05 dB/m) and posses superior chemical durability compared to other fluotide glasses, it is possible that AIF3 glasses may become the fluoride glass of choice for practical fiber laser and amplifier applications.
