Abstract
Despite the large interest in the scintillation properties of LaBr3:Ce, a detailed understanding of the underlying mechanism of temperature-dependence properties of Ce luminescence remains elusive. This study introduces a self-designed spectral apparatus to explore these properties in LaBr3:5%Ce. We observed a redshift phenomenon and band changes in the emission peak bands, indicating a reduction of the bond length between Ce and the host with increasing temperature. Moreover, the probability of low-energy peak emission decreases and the probability of high-energy peak emission increases, with increasing temperature was observed, suggesting a correlation with the proximity of Ce's 4f energy level to the valence band. Utilizing intensity parameters from the spectra, we identified the impact of temperature on LaBr3:Ce's self-absorption effect, revealing a significant self-absorption effect at the high-energy peak for the first time. A simple self-absorption model indicated that, despite high quantum efficiency of Ce, the overall self-absorption is minimal, establishing a correlation between the self-absorption coefficient of the high-energy peak and overall absorption. This research offers insights for developing radiation-resistant high-temperature luminescent devices and advances the field of high-temperature luminescent materials.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
