Synthesis And Optical Properties Of Er3+,Na+Ions Codoped12CaO·7Al2O3Powders | Posted on:2013-01-27 | Degree:Master | Type:Thesis | Country:China | Candidate:J B Wu | Full Text:PDF | GTID:2230330395471455 | Subject:Optics | Abstract/Summary: | PDF Full Text Request | A new up-conversion emission12CaO·7Al3O2(C12A7:Er3+,Na+) was prepared bychemical precipitation method followed by annealing inorganic precursors,The X-raydiffraction (XRD), excitation spectra, emission spectra, were conducted to characterize themicrostructure of C12A7: Er3+,Na+powders and study their optical properties.The results of XRD indicated that the cage structural polycrystalline C12A7powders ofsingle cubic phase were obtained. The photoluminescence of C12A7: Er3+,Na+at roomtemperature were observed in the visible region by using980nm Ar+line as excitation source.410nm,480nm,550nm,660nm emission band were observed which attributed to2H9/2â†'4I15/2,2H9/2â†'4I15/2,2H9/2â†'4I15/2,4F7/2â†'4I15/2,4S3/2â†'4I15/2,4F9/2â†'4I15/2of Er3+ions. Thepump power dependence of C12A7:Er3+,Na+on UC luminescence suggest two-photonprocess were occurred for green and red emission bands. For a fixed Er3+concentration,theluminescence properties as a function of Na+concentration were systematically studied under980nm excitation. Enhanced green emission at550nm was observed and the intensity was14times stronger than that of sample without Na+ion. Except for the charge compensation,thisenhancement was related to the structure distortion and decreasing centrosymmetry.Usually,the difference of valence state between rare-earth ions and cation could formanion or cation vacancies or free oxygen species (O2-or O-)in the cage of C12A7due tocharge compensation. Alkali metal Na+replace Ca2+will form anion vacancies or cationicclearance. Charge compensation is provided by the coupled substitution mechanisim, that is,the simultaneous substitution of two Ca2+by one Er3+and one Na+ion. The forbiddentransitions of intra-4f shell electrons in free Er3+ions have been allowed due to lack of theinversion symmetry in the Er3+position in C12A7crystal field. Doped Na+ions will enhancesthe visible green and red up-conversion emissions.Our results suggested that C12A7was an appropriate candidate for Er3+doping, Thestructural adjustment of Na+,which is expect to lead a broader range of applications, such asnanoceramics for volumetric displays, temperature sensors, UC lasers, biomedical imaging,DNA detection and photodynamic therapy. | Keywords/Search Tags: | 12CaO·7Al2O3, up-conversion emission, defect, charge compensation | PDF Full Text Request | Related items |
