采用高温固相法制备了Ce3+、Tb3+激活的SrZnP2O7材料,并研究了材料的发光性质。在290 nm紫外光激发下,SrZnP2O7∶Ce3+材料的发射光谱为双峰宽谱,主峰位于329 nm。SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+材料的发射光谱由420,443,491,545,587,625 nm六个峰组成,分别对应Tb3+的5D3→7F5、5D3→7F4、5D4→7F6、5D4→7F5、5D4→7F4和5D4→7F3特征发射;监测545 nm最强发射峰,所得激发光谱覆盖200400 nm,主峰为380 nm。研究了Ce3+、Tb3+在SrZnP2O7材料中的能量传递过程,发现,Ce3+对Tb3+具有很强的敏化作用,提高了SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+材料的发射强度,当Ce3+摩尔分数为3%时,SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+材料的发射强度提高了近2倍。引入电荷补偿剂可提高SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+材料的发射强度,其中以掺入Li+和Cl-时效果最明显。
SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+,SrZnP2O7∶Ce3+ and SrZnP2O7∶Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction,and their luminescent characteristics were investigated.SrCO3(A.R.),ZnO(A.R.),NH4H2PO4(A.R.),Li2CO3(A.R.),Na2CO3(A.R.),K2CO3(A.R.),NH4Cl(A.R.),Tb4O7(99.99%) and CeO2(99.99%) were used as starting materials,after these individual materials ground thoroughly in an agate mortar,the homogeneous mixture was heated at 900 ℃ for 3 h in reduce atmosphere,and these phosphors were obtained.The phase presents of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD)(D/max-rA,Cu Kα,40 kV,40 mA,λ=0.154 06 nm).The excitation and emission spectra of these phosphors were measured by a SHIMADZU RF-540 fluorescence spectrophotometer.SrZnP2O7∶Ce3+ shows a broad band at 329 nm.SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+ has six emission peaks at 420,443,491,545,587 and 625 nm which correspond to the 5D3→7F5,5D3→7F4,5D4→7F6,5D4→7F5,5D4→7F4 and 5D4→7F3 characteristic transitions of Tb3+,respectively,at 380 nm excitation.Monitoring 545 nm peak,the excitation spectrum extends from 200 nm to 400 nm,and the peak locates at 380 nm.Energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ in SrZnP2O7∶Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphor was investigated,and the emission intensity of SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+ can be enhanced by energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+.Under the conditions of charge compensator Li+,Na+,K+ or Cl-incorporated in SrZnP2O7∶Tb3+ phosphor,the emission intensities of the phosphor are enhanced,too.
