采用化学自燃烧方法制备了Eu^3+掺杂的Y2O3纳米晶粉末材料,并在制备过程中引入了少量的Ag^+离子。计算了Eu^3+的^5Do能级的发光的内量子效率,发现Ag^+离子的加入可以使发光的量子效率最大增加12%。通过发射光谱的测量发现荧光最大可增强约50%,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、荧光激发和发射光谱研究证实Ag^+离子的引入产生两个方面的作用:(1)是能够部分地消除表面的无辐射中心,使量子效率提高,发光增强;(2)是使激发光能够更有效地到达发光中心,提高激发效率,从而使荧光产额提高。
Nanosized Y2O3:Eu^3+ powder samples with different content Ag^+ ions were prepared by using chemical autocombustion. The fluorescent internal quantum efficiencies of 5Do level were estimated for the nanosized samples with Ag^+ ions and compared with the pure Y2O3: Eu^3+. It is found that Ag^+-introduction led to an increase of 12% in quantum efficiency. The fluorescent intensity increased by 50%. The XRD, TEM and fluorescent spectra for all the samples were measured and discussed. It was discovered that Ag^+ ions served as surface modifier for this nano-systern, and probably absorbed by the nanoparticle surface, so that the nonradiative probability could be reduced. Another influence came from the Ag^+-introduction was the absorption enhancement of excitation light,in this case the excitation light could get into the luminescent centers, namely Eu^3+ ions, more efficiently.
