采用高温固相法制备了一系列(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+(0≤x≤0.25)绿色荧光粉,并研究了Mg离子对(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+的结构、荧光以及长余辉发光性能的影响。Mg离子取代Zn进入Zn2GeO4晶格,形成(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4固溶体,并产生了晶格畸变。光谱分析结果表明,样品中位于533 nm的绿色荧光源于Mn^2+的^4T1(^4G)→^6A1(^6S)跃迁。随着Mg离子浓度的增加,(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+样品的激发光谱出现了蓝移现象,说明Mg离子进入到Zn2GeO4晶格中对其晶格结构产生了影响,导致(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4的带宽发生改变。发射光谱则表明Mg离子进入Zn2GeO4晶格引起Mn^2+的^4T1(^4G)→^6A1(^6S)跃迁绿色荧光发光强度的增强。Zn2GeO4基质中的氧空位缺陷陷阱深度由于基质带宽的变化而变深,样品具有良好的长余辉发光效果。通过热释光谱分析研究了材料中缺陷陷阱的特征,进一步证实了(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4中缺陷陷阱深度发生改变。根据光谱分析结果给出了(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+中荧光与余辉发光的产生机理。
(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+( 0≤x≤0. 25) green phosphors were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction,and the effect of Mg incorporation on photoluminescence( PL) and long-lasting phosphorescence( LLP) characteristics of Zn2GeO4∶Mn^2+ was systematically studied.The emission spectrum shows a broad emission band centered at 533 nm,which can be assigned to the ^4T1(^4G) →^6A1(^6S) transitions of Mn^2+ ion. The emission intensity can be increased by the resonant transfer from a subbandgap state in the host to Mn^2+,and the PLE spectra of(Zn1-x,Mgx)2GeO4∶Mn^2+ exhibit a blue shift with the increasing of Mg concentration. Thermoluminescence( TL) spectra indicate that the introduction of Mg into the host deepened the Vo traps,resulting inthe enhanced phosphorescence of Mn^2+. The possible mechanism of the PL and LLP was discussed based on the PL and TL results.
