The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results of XRD show that the single crystalline phase is α-SrAl2O4. According to the observation of SEM, the particles of the samples are needle-like. Compared with the samples synthesized by solid state reaction, the grain size of the sol-gel method is to nanometer grade. A clear blue shift occurs in the excitation and emission spectra. The blue shift in nanocrystalline SrAl2O4∶Eu, Dy phosphor can be attributed to the quantum-size-effect of the luminescent particles.展开更多

The photoluminescence spectra, decay curves, thermoluminescent spectra and chromaticity coordinate curves were investigated. The results show that the luminescence intensity of Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti (0≤x≤0.10) phosphors decrease gradually with increasing Mg2+ ion content, and the shape of luminescence spectra and chromaticity coordinate change as well. Furthermore, two thermoluminescent peaks in single Ti-doped Y2O2S sample are found at 91.8 and 221.5 ℃, respectively. Nevertheless, significant different spectra were found for the Mg, Ti co-doped Y2O2S samples that three thermoluminescence peaks appear at 52.3, 141.7 and 226.8 ℃, respectively. These results indicate that the co-doped Mg ion changes the inherent trap depth of single Ti-doped Y2O2S:Ti phosphor, and induces simultaneously a new trap level in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor. Based on the analysis of thermoluminescent spectra, photoluminescent spectra, decay curve and crystal structure defect, it was proposed that the varied structure defect and introduced new trap level by the doped Mg2+ ions should be responsible for reducing luminescence intensity and varying color in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor.展开更多

Herein,we report a facile method to prepare green and NIR dual-mode afterglow of carbon dots(CDs) through in situ embedding o-CDs(being prepared from o-phenylenediamine) into cyanuric acid(CA) matrix(named o-CDs@CA). Further studies reveal that the green and NIR afterglows of o-CDs@CA originate from thermal activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) and room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) of o-CDs,respectively. In addition,the formation of covalent bonds between o-CDs and CA,and the presence of multiple fixation and rigid e ects to the triplet states of o-CDs are confirmed to be critical for activating the observed dual-mode afterglow. Due to the shorter lifetime and insensitiveness to human vision of the NIR RTP of o-CDs@CA,it is completely covered by the green TADF during directly observing. The NIR RTP signal,however,can be readily captured if an optical filter(cut-o wavelength of 600 nm) being used. By utilizing these unique features,the applications of o-CDs@CA in anti-counterfeiting and information encryption have been demonstrated with great confidentiality. Finally,the as-developed method was confirmed to be applicable to many other kinds of CDs for achieving or enhancing their afterglow performances.展开更多

XRD analysis showed that the powders were nearly pure SrAl2O4 phase with few other phases, and the size of the grain was 41.1 nm. Fluorescence spectrum results indicated that there were 2 excitation peaks located at 345 and 400 nm, and the emission peak located at 516 nm, afterglow lasted up to 30 min or more. The microwave combustion method has advantages of less time, low temperature and no grinding process, and the material made by the method has good luminescent property.展开更多

The XRD pattern shows the host phase of CaAl2O4 is produced and no impurity phase appears. The peak wavelength of the phosphor does not vary with La3+ and Dy3+ doping. It implies that the crystal field, which affects the 5d electron states of Eu2+, is not changed dramatically after doping of La3+ and Dy3+. The TL spectra indicate that the phosphor doped with La3+ or Dy3+ produces different depths of trap energy level. In the mechanism of long afterglow luminescence, it is considered that La3+ or Dy3+ works as trap energy level. The decay time lies on the number of electrons in the trap energy level and the rate of the electrons returning to the excitation level.展开更多

The phosphors nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence spectrophotometer techniques. The results reveal that the samples are composed of single Sr3Al2O6 phase. The resultant nanoparticles show small size (80?100 nm) and spherical shape. The excitation and emission spectra indicate that excitation broad band chiefly lies in visible range and the nanoparticles emit much strong light at 612 nm under around 473 nm excitation. And the long afterglow phosphorescence of Sr3Al2O6 doped with Eu2+ was observed in the dark with naked eye after the removal of the excitation light. The effect of Eu2+ doping concentrations of the samples on the emission intensity is studied systematically. Furthermore, the microwave method requires a very short heating-time and the energy consumption.展开更多

XRD patterns of samples indicate that phosphors CaAl2O4∶Eu 2+, Dy 3+ and SrAl2O4∶Eu 2+, Dy 3+ are with monoclinic crystal structure and phosphor BaAl2O4∶Eu 2+, Dy 3+ is with hexagonal crystal structure. The wide range of excitation spectrum of phosphors MAl2O4∶Eu 2+, Dy 3+ （M=Ca,Sr,Ba） indicates that the luminescent materials can be excited by light from ultraviolet ray to visible light and the maximum emission wavelength of phosphors MAl2O4∶Eu 2+, Dy 3+ （M=Ca, Sr, Ba） is found mainly at λ em of 440 nm （M=Ca）, 520 nm （M=Sr） and 496 nm （M=Ba） respectively, the corresponding colors of emission light are blue, green and cyna-green respectively. The afterglow decay tendency of phosphors can be summarized as three processes: initial rapid decay, intermediate transitional decay and very long slow decay. Afterglow decay curves coincide with formula I=At -n, and the sequence of afterglow intensity and time is Sr>Ca>Ba.展开更多

The SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors were initially prepared by the solid reaction method. Three kinds of glass frits were prepared to match the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors. Effects of the compositions of the glass frits, the ratios of the phosphors to the frits as well as the firing temperature and firing times on the properties of the samples were discussed. XRD analysis indicated the samples exhibited the typical diffraction peaks of SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+. The emission spectra of the samples showed broad bands peaking at 510nm.The ex- citation spectra of the samples showed broad bands ranging from 300 to 480nm. These are be- lieved due to the 5d4f-4f transitions of Eu2+ in the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors. The afterglow luminescence of the samples excited by a 40W fluorescence lamp for 30min can be observed in the dark for more 10h with the naked eyes. It can find wide applications in many fields.展开更多

Their excitation and emission spectra at different excitation and afterglow characteristics were analyzed after the excitation power was taken off. The effects of Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ , Nd 3+ mole concentrations on phosphorescence characteristics were also discussed. It is crucial to have trapping levels located at a suitable depth related to the thermal release rate at room temperature. The incorporation of Nd 3+ ions as an auxiliary activator into the SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ system causes very intense and long phosphorescence. The response time of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphors is quicker than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ . Phosphorescence characteristics of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+, Nd 3+ is much better than those of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ . The integrate area of the excitation spectrum of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor is larger than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphor within the range of 250～360 nm. For phosphorescence characteristics to the system of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor, the optimum concentration of Nd 3+ trivalent rare earth ions is 0.05 mol.展开更多

Their photoluminescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence are investigated. The results indicate that codoping Nb5+ can improve the photoluminescence and phosphorescence property of CaTiO3:Pr3+ significantly. When 3-mol% Nb5+ is codoped, the emission intensity of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is enhanced twice, while the afterglow time is extended from 10 min to about 40 min. Thermoluminescence results reveal that the trapping level of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is reduced from 0.82 eV to 0.62 eV by codoping Nb5+. The effect of Nb5+ doping on enhancing the photoluminescence intensity and afterglow time of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is discussed.展开更多

Two sorts of SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy phosphors, namely highest quality commercial one and the self-synthesized one by solid-state reaction process were employed. Results reveal a common phenomenon behaving as phosphorescent sudden extinguishments at a certain low temperature although their threshold temperature value （about 223 K） has a slight difference. The general characteristic for the influence of temperature on the afterglow feature presents, compared to the luminescent decay at room temperature （RT）, a bigger and faster decrease of phosphorescent brightness with the reduction of temperature, while decay curves still maitain the same pattern composed of a quick decline part and a platform falling part during which the phosphorescent brightness at 273 K is only about 1/2 as big as that at RT, and at 253 K the figure has changed to about 1/3. Finally, the reason of previous observed results has been analyzed briefly in theory.展开更多

It is known with the measurement method of X ray diffraction pattern that the luminescent material is an akermanite crystal.

Its decay curve is in accordance with the calculated results of the formula lg I=A+B 1 ×lg t +B 2×(lg t ) 2. Ther moluminescence spectra identified the existence of long afterglow luminescence. The excitation and emission spectra and microstructure of the phosphor were also investigated in detail.展开更多

文摘Eu 2+, Dy 3+ co-doped nanocrystalline strontium aluminate phosphor powders with brightness and long afterglow were synthesized by the sol-gel method at 1200 ℃ for 2 h. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results of XRD show that the single crystalline phase is α-SrAl2O4. According to the observation of SEM, the particles of the samples are needle-like. Compared with the samples synthesized by solid state reaction, the grain size of the sol-gel method is to nanometer grade. A clear blue shift occurs in the excitation and emission spectra. The blue shift in nanocrystalline SrAl2O4∶Eu, Dy phosphor can be attributed to the quantum-size-effect of the luminescent particles.

文摘Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti (0≤x≤0.10) phosphors with long afterglow were synthesized by solid state reaction route. The photoluminescence spectra, decay curves, thermoluminescent spectra and chromaticity coordinate curves were investigated. The results show that the luminescence intensity of Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti (0≤x≤0.10) phosphors decrease gradually with increasing Mg2+ ion content, and the shape of luminescence spectra and chromaticity coordinate change as well. Furthermore, two thermoluminescent peaks in single Ti-doped Y2O2S sample are found at 91.8 and 221.5 ℃, respectively. Nevertheless, significant different spectra were found for the Mg, Ti co-doped Y2O2S samples that three thermoluminescence peaks appear at 52.3, 141.7 and 226.8 ℃, respectively. These results indicate that the co-doped Mg ion changes the inherent trap depth of single Ti-doped Y2O2S:Ti phosphor, and induces simultaneously a new trap level in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor. Based on the analysis of thermoluminescent spectra, photoluminescent spectra, decay curve and crystal structure defect, it was proposed that the varied structure defect and introduced new trap level by the doped Mg2+ ions should be responsible for reducing luminescence intensity and varying color in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor.

XRD analysis indicated the samples exhibited the typical diffraction peaks of SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+. The emission spectra of the samples showed broad bands peaking at 510nm.The ex- citation spectra of the samples showed broad bands ranging from 300 to 480nm. These are be- lieved due to the 5d4f-4f transitions of Eu2+ in the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors. The afterglow luminescence of the samples excited by a 40W fluorescence lamp for 30min can be observed in the dark for more 10h with the naked eyes. It can find wide applications in many fields.
文摘The SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ and SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ long afterglow phosphor were synthesized. Their excitation and emission spectra at different excitation and afterglow characteristics were analyzed after the excitation power was taken off. The effects of Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ , Nd 3+ mole concentrations on phosphorescence characteristics were also discussed. It is crucial to have trapping levels located at a suitable depth related to the thermal release rate at room temperature. The incorporation of Nd 3+ ions as an auxiliary activator into the SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ system causes very intense and long phosphorescence. The response time of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphors is quicker than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ . Phosphorescence characteristics of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+, Nd 3+ is much better than those of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ . The integrate area of the excitation spectrum of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor is larger than that of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphor within the range of 250～360 nm. For phosphorescence characteristics to the system of SrAl 2O 4∶Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ phosphor, the optimum concentration of Nd 3+ trivalent rare earth ions is 0.05 mol.
文摘A series of Nb5+ codoped red long afterglow phosphors CaTi1 xNbxO3:Pr03.+002 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) is prepared by a solid state reaction method. Their photoluminescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence are investigated. The results indicate that codoping Nb5+ can improve the photoluminescence and phosphorescence property of CaTiO3:Pr3+ significantly. When 3-mol% Nb5+ is codoped, the emission intensity of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is enhanced twice, while the afterglow time is extended from 10 min to about 40 min. Thermoluminescence results reveal that the trapping level of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is reduced from 0.82 eV to 0.62 eV by codoping Nb5+. The effect of Nb5+ doping on enhancing the photoluminescence intensity and afterglow time of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is discussed.
文摘Using a self-designed temperature testing box in which Xenon-lamp irradiation can be applied, the afterglow feature of SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy as a function of temperature has been researched. Two sorts of SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy phosphors, namely highest quality commercial one and the self-synthesized one by solid-state reaction process were employed. Results reveal a common phenomenon behaving as phosphorescent sudden extinguishments at a certain low temperature although their threshold temperature value （about 223 K） has a slight difference. The general characteristic for the influence of temperature on the afterglow feature presents, compared to the luminescent decay at room temperature （RT）, a bigger and faster decrease of phosphorescent brightness with the reduction of temperature, while decay curves still maitain the same pattern composed of a quick decline part and a platform falling part during which the phosphorescent brightness at 273 K is only about 1/2 as big as that at RT, and at 253 K the figure has changed to about 1/3. Finally, the reason of previous observed results has been analyzed briefly in theory.
文摘The experimental work reported here is devoted to the study of the luminous activityof a long dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) afterglow at atmospheric pressure.The dischargeplasma is generated in a commercially available (AcXys Technologies) reactor,using a N_2 flow ofa few tens SL/min,whereas the luminous afterglow when channelled into a quartz tube extendsat a distance of 50 cm,finishing in a luminous arrow at the tube's exit.The luminous activityof the afterglow is studied by means of photomultiplier scans and optical emission spectroscopy,revealing an interesting transient phase.An attempt is made to correlate this effect with theactive species' creation and destruction mechanisms.
文摘The Eu 2+ and Dy 3+ codoped Sr 2MgSi 2O 7: Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ blue emission long afterglow phosphor was synthesized and its photoluminescence properties were studied. It is known with the measurement method of X ray diffraction pattern that the luminescent material is an akermanite crystal. It is shown with the decay curve that its afterglow properties are better than the traditional (Ca,Sr)S:Bi blue long afterglow phosphor. Its decay curve is in accordance with the calculated results of the formula lg I=A+B 1 ×lg t +B 2×(lg t ) 2. Ther moluminescence spectra identified the existence of long afterglow luminescence. The excitation and emission spectra and microstructure of the phosphor were also investigated in detail.

文摘Accurate detection of biomarkers is essential for disease diagnosis.Although the highly sensitive fluorescence probes are feasible for the above goal,it is typically interfered by the auto-fluorescence and light scattering of the biological samples.Photochemical afterglow system(consisting of photosensitizer,afterglow substrate and emitter)based on cascade photochemical reactions exhibits long-lived luminescence(seconds to hours),thus avoiding background interference.With the assistance of polymers,such as polystyrene microspheres,the photochemical afterglow systems have been transformed into homogeneous and water-soluble nanoparticles,and used for in-vitro biomarker analysis.Here,we summarized the principle,preparation and applications of these afterglow nanoparticles,and evaluated their performance in clinical sample testing by comparing with other nanoparticle-based methods.Finally,several problems and possible solutions of afterglow nanoparticle-based methods in biomarker determination were also mentioned.

文摘Transparent afterglow crystals are keenly desired for three-dimensional information storage.Herein,CsCdCl3 perovskite crystals were grown by a programmable cool-ing procedure in a hydrothermal reactor.The pristine crystal showed an abnormal optical behavior where the absorption increased by 2.3 folds at high temperature,leading to a fourfold boost of photoluminescence(PL)intensity.After Mn2+dop-ing,the PL quantum yield was improved to nearly unity.Importantly,the doped crystals exhibited an ultralong afterglow up to 12 h after ceasing UV excitation and a high transmittance up to 75%in the visible region.This work brought a new mem-ber to the library of transparent afterglow crystal,opening up many possibilities to advanced applications such as volumetric display and three-dimensional information encryption.
