Abstract
Lanthanum oxysulfide (La2O2S) was investigated as an effective doping matrix for the development of Er3+, Yb3+, Tm3+ tri-doped phosphors emitting white light. The powders were prepared by combustion synthesis and subsequently post-sulfurized under H2S/N2. They were characterized using Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis to assess their purity, morphology and thermal stability. The excitation, down-conversion and up-conversion properties of the phosphors were then studied using UV/Visible/NIR and fluorescence spectroscopy. Although white emission was not achieved with the studied compositions, a mechanism for up-conversion energy transfer in the tri-doped samples is proposed.
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.
