【摘要】 本论文由两部分组成。第一部分,也是论文的主要部分,研究了Pr3+,Mn2+共激活的几种铝酸盐和硼酸盐材料中的量子剪裁现象,着重讨论了LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+中Pr3+→Mn2+能量传递过程。第二部分,研究了长余辉材料Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+及Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+的发光及余辉性能,重点讨论了Eu2+,Dy3+在Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+长余辉发光过程中的作用。在第一部分中,首先回顾了可见光量子剪裁研究的现状及存在的问题,指出目前量子效率较高的材料如:LiGdF4:Eu3+、LiGdF4:Er3+,Tb3+等,都采用了氟化物作为基质材料,从而限制了它们的应用前景。为此,我们将研究氧化物量子剪裁材料,并选用“Pr3+,Mn2+”对作为激活离子。第三章研究了Pr3+激活的SrA12O19,SrB4O7,LaB3O6及LaMgB5O10材料的低温光谱性质。从发射谱上看,在这四种材料中都存在量子剪裁现象(光子级联发射)。从激发谱上看在这四种材料中Pr3+能够直接有效的吸收VUV光子的能量,而不需要来自基质的能量传递。另外在SrA12O19:Pr3+,LaB3O6:Pr3+及LaMgB5O10:Pr3+的激发谱上观测到了Pr3+宇称禁戒的3H4→1S0跃迁,从而确定了在这三种材料中Pr3+-1S0能级分别位于最低的4f5d能级下2052cm-1,1815cm-1和1348cm-1。随后,研究了Mn2+激活的SrAl12O19,SrB4O7,LaB3O6以及LaMgB5O10的光谱性质。在LaB3O6中,由于Mn2+难以取代La3+或B3+的格位,所以在LaB3O6:Mn2+中没有观测到Mn2+的发光。而另外三种材料都有来自Mn2+的绿光或红光发射。在SrAl12O19和SrB4O7中,由于Mn2+取代的是半径较大的阳离子Sr2+从而处在较弱的晶场中,所以在这两个材料中Mn2+的发光为波长较短的绿光(515nm左右)。而在LaMgB5O10中,Mn2+取代的是半径较小的Mg2+从而处在较强的晶场中,导致Mn2+的发光为615nm红光。测量了SrAl12O19:Mn2+,SrB4O7:Mn2+以及LaMgB5O10:Mn2+VUV-VIS区的激发光谱,指出在300-550nm范围内一些分立的激发峰来自Mn2+-3d5→3d5跃迁,而VUV区的两个激发带分别来自基质吸收和“Mn2+-O2-”的电荷迁移态吸收。第五章研究了Pr3+,Mn2+共掺杂的SrAl12O19,SrB4O7以及LaMgB5O10中Pr3+→Mn2+能量传递。由于SrAl12O19:Pr3+的发射光谱和SrAl12O19:Mn2+的激发光谱上并没有光谱重叠存在,所以SrAl12O19:Pr3+,Mn2+中并没有能量传递发生。而SrB4O7:Pr3+和LaMgB5O10:Pr3+的发射光谱分别与SrB4O7:Mn2+和LaMgB5O10:Mn2+的激发光谱存在较多光谱重叠,使得在SrB4O7:Pr3+,Mn2+以及LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+中Pr3+→Mn2+的能量传递成为可能。通过Pr3+,Mn2+双掺样品的发射、激发光谱以及比较Pr3+单掺和Pr3+,Mn2+双掺样品中Pr3+-1S0发射的衰减时间,证实了上述能量传递过程。这种能量传递转化了部分Pr3+紫光或紫外光为Mn2+的绿光或红光发射,提高了量子剪裁过程中可见光发射的比例。以LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+为例研究了LaMgB5O10中Pr3+→Mn2+能量传递的类型及途径。结果表明共振能量传递在材料中起主要作用。计算和讨论了LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+中共振能量传递的临界传递距离,发现对于电偶极-电偶极相互作用,临界距离RCdd=4.78(?);而电偶极-电四极相互作用,临界距离RCdq=9.46(?);若是交换相互作用,临界传递距离RCex也只有几个埃,都小于最大掺杂浓度下样品中Pr3+和Mn2+间的平均距离RPr-Mn~17(?)(Pr3+,Mn2+在样品中任意分布)。由于Pr3+,Mn2+离子半径分别小于和大于所替换的阳离子半径,所以我们认为:Pr3+,Mn2+在替换晶格阳离子的过程中可能成为近邻,从而降低系统的能量,这就使得LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+中Pr3+→Mn2+能量传递的产生有了合理的解释。在第二部分中,研究了长余辉材料Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+和Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+的光谱性质和余辉性能。实验结果指出这两种长余辉材料的余辉发光主要来Eu2+-4f65d→4f7允许跃迁产生的465nm蓝光。通过余辉光谱以及余辉衰减曲线的测量发现,Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+余辉性能远优于Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+。两种长余辉材料热释光曲线的拟合结果显示,这是因为Dy3+的加入在材料中产生了深度合适,浓度较高的陷阱能级所致。我们在真空紫外激发下Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+的发射光谱上,同时测到了Eu2+和Dy3+的发光。并结合Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+具有余辉性能的事实,说明Eu2+和Dy3+都既是陷阱也是发光中心。只不过UV激发下在Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+中突显了Eu2+作为发光中心和Dy3+作为陷阱的作用。通过Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+中余辉机理的讨论,认为Dy3+在这种长余辉材料中作为电子陷阱而不是目前普遍认为的空穴陷阱,而Eu2+可能是起空穴陷阱的作用。
【Abstract】 This dissertation included two parts. In the first part, we dealt with quantum cutting process in Pr3+, Mn2+ co-doped SrAl12O19, SrB4O7 and LaMgB5O10 systems. Main study was focused on the energy transfer process in LaMgB5O10: Pr3+,Mn2+. In the second part, the spectra and afterglow properties of long afterglow phosphor Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+and Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ were investigated. Emphasis was made on the analyses of the roles of Eu2+ and Dy3+ in Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+.In part one, firstly, we reviewed the present research states and remain problems in visible quantum cutting phosphors. In view of the fact that almost all the known quantum cutters with high efficiency are fluorides, like LiGdF4:Eu3+、LiGdF4:Er3+,Tb3+.While the practical phosphors are oxides, we decided to search for oxide based visible quantum cutters, and select "Pr3+Mn2+" as the prospective activaters.In chapter three, the low temperature spectra properties of Pr3+ doped SrA12O19, SrB4O7, LaB3O6 and LaMgB5O10 were investigated by synchrotron radiation VUV light. Under VUV excitation, photon cascade emission was found in these phosphors. From the excitation spectra study, we conculded that the excitation energy can be efficiently absorbed by Pr3+-4f5d levels directly, but the host absorption wasn’t very efficient. In the excitation spectra of SrA12O19:Pr3+, LaB3O6:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+, along with the 4f5d absorption bands, a weak peak due to 3H4→1S0 transition also was detected. From the position of 3H4→1S0 transition and the absorption edge of 4f5d band, the position of Pr3+-1S0 state was determined at 2052 cm-1, 1815 cm-1 and 1348 cm-1 below the lowest 4f5d state, respectively.In the following chapter, the spectra properties of Mn2+ doped SrAl12O19, SrB4O7, LaB3O6 and LaMgB5O10 were studied. In LaB3O6 matrix, due to the difficulty to substitute La3+ or B3+ by Mn2+, No emission from Mn2+ was found. Yet the other three phosphors showed efficient Mn2+ emission. In SrAl12O19: Mn2+ and SrB4O7: Mn2+, because Mn2+ substituted the Sr2+ with large ion radii which results in a weak crystal field, Mn2+ green emission (about 515 nm) was detected. While the emission of LaMgB5O10: Mn2+ was red, owing to the fact that the small ion radii site of Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+. In the excitation spectra of SrAl12O19:Mn2+, SrB4O7:Mn2+ and LaMgB5O10: Mn2+, the peaks in the range of 300-550 nm were assigned to the transition of Mn2+-3d5→3d5, and the two bands in VUV range were attributed to host absorption and the absorption of "Mn2+-O2- charge transfer states, respectively.Chapter five dealt with the Pr3+→Mn2+ energy transfer in Pr3+, Mn2+ co-doped SrAl12O19, SrB4O7 and LaMgB5O10. There wasn’t any spectra overlap between the emission spectra of SrAl12O19:Pr3+ and excitation spectra of SrAl12O19:Mn2+. So, energy transfer didn’t occur in SrAl12O19:Pr3+,Mn2+. While in the excitation spectra of SrB4O7:Mn2+ and LaMgB5O10:Mn2+, the 6A1g→4Eg-4A1g excitation band of Mn2+ had considerable spectra overlap with the Pr3+-1S0→1I6 emission in SrB4O7:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+, which was favorable for energy transfer from Pr3+ to Mn2+ in Pr3+,Mn2+ co-doped sample. Such energy transfer was confirmed in SrB4O7: Pr3+,Mn2+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+, from the emission and excitation spectra study of the co-doped samples as well as comparing the decay curves of 1S0→1I6 transition of Pr3+ between Pr3+ singly doped and Pr3+,Mn2+ co-doped sample. The energy transfer processes converted the violet or UV emissions of Pr3+ into green or red emission of Mn2+, improved the ratio of visible emission in quantum cutting process.The Pr3+→Mn2+ energy transfer type and pathway were investigated in LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+. The analyses showed that the energy transfer pathway was of resonant energy transfer. The critical distance of resonant energy transfer in LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+ was calculated. As for electric dipole-dipole interaction and dipole-quadrupole interaction, the critical distance RC was 4.78 (A|°) and 9.46(A|°), respectively. For exchanged interaction, the critical distance also was several angstroms. All the values were less than the mean distance between Pr3+ and Mn2+ in the highest concentration doped sample (RPr-Mn~17 (A|°)), considering a random distribution of Pr3+ and Mn2+ in LaMgB5O10 matrix. Because the ion radii of Pr3+ and Mn2+ was lager and less than the ion radii of the cations in host matrix replaced by them, respectively. The replacement would lead to the formation of some near neighboring Pr-Mn clusters in the LaMgB5O10 host to reduce the system energy. And the short distance (less than RC) between Pr3+ and Mn2+ can account for the occurrence of Pr3+→Mn2+ energy transfer in LaMgB5O10:Pr3+,Mn2+.In part two, the spectra and afterglow properties of long afterglow phosphors Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+ and Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ were investigated. The results showed that the afterglow luminescence of the two phosphors originates from the 465nm blue emission of Eu2+-4f65d→4f7 allowed transition. The afterglow properties of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ were better than that of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+, by the detection of afterglow spectra and the afterglow decay curves. The fitting results of the thermoluminescence curves of the two phosphors showed that, the defect levels arose from Dy3+ in Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ had appropriate depth and high concentration, which resulted in the longer afterglow time in Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ than that in Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+.In the emission spectra of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+ excited by VUV light, the Dy3+ emissions were detected along with the emission of Eu2+. Considering the long afterglow properties of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+, we can draw the conclusion that Eu2+ and Dy3+ both have duple roles, acting as not only the luminescence centers, but also trap centers. By analyzing the dynamics of the afterglow luminescence in Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+, it was found that the Dy3+ acts as electron traps rather than hole traps which is accepted by many researchers, while the Eu2+ plays the role of hole traps.
