Luminescence and energy transfer in Dy3+/Eu3+ co-doped aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glasses and glass-ceramics
Abstract A series of oxyfluoride glasses with the composition SiO2–CaF2–Al2O3–CaO, doped with Dy2O3 (0.5–1 mol%) and Eu2O3 (0–4 mol%), have been prepared using the melt quenching method. The glass-ceramics have been obtained by heating the as-made glasses at 680 °C and 750 °C for 1 h. The glasses and the glass-ceramics were investigated using photoluminescence techniques in the near-UV and visible ranges, and differential thermal analysis (DTA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed. The samples doped with 0.5 mol% Dy3+ were observed to have the highest luminescence intensity under 453 nm excitation compared to the samples doped with 1 mol% Dy3+ and the co-doped samples. Th…
Luminescence properties of Eu, RE3+ (RE = Dy, Sm, Tb) co-doped oxyfluoride glasses and glass–ceramics
Abstract Eu, RE3+ (RE = Dy, Sm, Tb) co-doped SiO2–CaF2–Al2O3–CaO oxyfluoride glasses have been prepared by the melt quenching method. By heating the precursor glasses at 670 °C for 1 h, glass–ceramics containing CaF2 nanocrystallites were obtained. DTA and XRD measurements were performed. Excitation spectra of the prepared samples as well as photoluminescence spectra at the excitation of 355 nm and 450 nm were measured, CIE colour coordinates and colour rendering indexes were found. In the glass–ceramics the presence of Eu2+ ions was observed by a broad emission band in the 400–500 nm spectral range. The most promising doping combinations for white light luminophores within our research are…
