摘要
This paper reports on the thermo (TL), iono (IL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties of nanocrystalline CaSiO3:Eu3+ (1-5 mol%) bombarded with 100 MeV Si7+ ions for the first time. The effect of different dopant concentrations and influence of ion fluence has been discussed. The characteristic emission peaks 5D0鈫?sup>7FJ (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) of Eu3+ ions was recorded in both PL (1脳1011-1脳1013 ions cm鈭?) and IL (4.16脳1012-6.77脳1012 ions cm鈭?) spectra. It is observed that PL intensity increases with ion fluence, whereas in IL the peaks intensity increases up to fluence 5.20脳1012 ions cm鈭?, then it decreases. A well resolved TL glow peak at 鈭?04 掳C was recorded in all the ion bombarded samples at a warming rate of 5 掳C s鈭?. The TL intensity is found to be maximum at 5 mol%Eu3+ concentration. Further, TL intensity increases sub linearly with shifting of glow peak towards lower temperature with ion fluence.
