Abstract
A series of Dy3+/Gd3+ co-doped Ba–Na–N glasses were synthesized via the melt-quenching method and investigated for their photoluminescence (PL) and radioluminescence (RL) properties. Under 387 nm excitation (Dy3+ ions), the sample containing 1.0 mol% Dy2O3 exhibited the strongest PL intensity, achieved a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 7.59 %. Upon 275 nm excitation (Gd3+ ions), efficient energy transfer from Gd3+ to Dy3+ was observed, with the strongest PL intensity obtained in the 0.5 mol% Dy2O3 sample. Chromaticity coordinates of all samples were located near (x = 0.37, y = 0.42), confirming their white-light emission capability. For RL measurements under X-ray excitation, the 0.50 mol% Dy2O3 glass sample reached an integral scintillation efficiency of 14.84 % relative to a commercial BGO standard. These results highlight the potential of the developed glasses in this work for use in white light-emitting devices and cost-effective X-ray scintillators.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
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. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
