Abstract:

Y2O3:Ti 3+ powders were prepared by coprecipitation method at different temperatures in different sintering atmospheres. XRD spectra, excitation and emission spectra of Y2O3:Ti 3+ powders were measured, and their morphologies were observed. Under the excitation of UV light, Y2O3:Ti 3+ microcrystalline has a strong emission band near 439nm, and Y2O3:Ti 3+ nanocrystalline has a more stronger emission band in the range of 400-500nm. The fluorescence of Y2O3:Ti 3+ nanopowder becomes strong observably as the grain size reduces, and the fluorescence covers whole visible light region. This indicates that Y2O3:Ti 3+ nanopowder is expected to become a new generation light conversion phosphor for white LED or mercury lamp.

Key words: materials, nanopowder, white LED, phosphor, Y2O3Ti 3+
