The crystal structures, photoluminescence, thermolurninescenee properties and afterglow proper- ties of the phosphors were characterized systematically using X-ray diffraction (XRD), luminescence spectrophotometer, microcom- puter thermoluminescence dosimeter and single photon counter, respectively. Under 280 nm excitation, the broadband emissions of Eu2+ ions were observed at 445 nm (blue) due to the 4f7→4f65d transition. It was demonstrated that there existed the self-reduction of the Eu3+ to Eu2+ ions in this special halide-phosphate matrix in air condition. The addition of Gd3+ ions obviously enhanced the after- glow properties of the single doped Eu2+ ions in the halide-phosphate phosphors. And the content of the fluoride anions also had sig- nificant influence on the afterglow properties. All results indicated that Srs (PO4)3 FxCI1-x:Eu2+,Gd3+ might be potential phosphors for long lasting phosphorescence (LLP) materials.展开更多
