Abstract
The Eu1.90Dy0.10Ge2O7, Eu1.90La0.10Ge2O7 and Eu1.90Ho0.10Ge2O7 powder were obtained through a solid-state reaction method via multistep firing of stoichiometric ratios of Eu2O3, GeO2, Dy2O3, La2O3 and Ho2O3 in open atmosphere at temperatures from 800 to 1150 °C. The thermal behaviour, phase formation, SEM/EDX analysis, photoluminescence properties, Curie tempereture, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the samples were investigated by TG/DTA, XRD, SEM, PL, TG/DTA, LCR-meter and d33-meter, respectively. The germenates having triclinic crystal system have 5D0→7F4, 5D0→7F3, 5D0→7F2, 5D0→7F1 transitions of Eu3+ ions. Also, the photoluminescent germenates show electrical properties and the piezoelectric charge constant of germenates showed Eu1.90Dy0.10Ge2O7> Eu1.90Ho0.10Ge2O7 > Eu1.90La0.10Ge2O7 trend. The Curie temperature of Eu1.90Dy0.10Ge2O7, Eu1.90La0.10Ge2O7 and Eu1.90Ho0.10Ge2O7 are 825, 844 and 838 °C, respectively. Compared to commonly used piezoelectric materials, Eu1.90Dy0.10Ge2O7, Eu1.90La0.10Ge2O7 and Eu1.90Ho0.10Ge2O7 materials with very high Curie temperatures were obtained with photoluminescent properties.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
