Abstract
Materials with both photochromic properties (PC) and persistent luminescence (PersL) are increasingly being used in promising applications such as optical information storage and anti-counterfeiting. In this work, a novel afterglow material SrGa4O7(SGO): Bi3+synthesized by high-temperature solid-phase method was presented, and its photochromic and afterglow properties was investigated and analyzed. The SGO: 0.05Bi3+ phosphor transforms from white to light brown at 254 nm, and reverts from light brown to white at 450 nm. Yellow-green persistent luminescence can be observed for SGO: 0.05Bi3+ phosphor after 254 nm irradiation. The thermoluminescence (TL) spectrum shows two major traps within SGO: 0.05Bi3+ with depths of 0.786 and 1.016 eV. The trap located at the 0.786 eV energy level is considered to be the key contributor to the phosphor afterglow. Coexistence of PersL and PC properties in a single material provides new ideas for innovations in anti-counterfeiting, information encryption and optical data storage technologies.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
