Luminescent properties of sol–gel processed red-emitting phosphor Eu3+, Bi3+ co-doped (Ca,Sr)(Mo,W)O4
文摘
A series of red-emitting phosphors Ca0.6Sr0.4?.5y?.5zMo1?xWxO4:EuyBiz (x?=?0-, y?=?0-.14, z?=?0-.12) have been synthesized by a sol–gel method. The effects of calcining temperature, concentrations of Bi3+ and Eu3+, and the W/Mo ratio on the luminescent properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic results showed that as-prepared phosphors were of single phase with several microns. The Bi3+ and Eu3+ co-doped phosphors showed remarkably intense red emission at 618?nm. The emission intensities of the series reached maximum for compositions at x?=?0.4, y?=?0.12 and z?=?0.08 when the calcining temperature was 900?°C. Temperature dependent emission intensity of the phosphor suggested that the as-synthesized product had good thermal stability with a thermal quenching activation energy of 0.31?eV. The decay curves showed the energy transfer efficiency from MoO4 2?/sup> to Eu3+ increased with an increase in the Mo6+ doping content.
