Modulation and enhancement of luminescence of BaY2Si3O10: Eu3+ phosphor through energy transfer by Bi3+co-doping

Abstract

Abstract: Phosphors BaY2Si3O10: Bi3+(Eu3+) were synthesized by solid – state reaction method. Their phase and optical properties were analysed by using X-ray powder diffractionmeter and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of BaY2Si3O10: Eu3+ consist of an enhanced broad charge transfer band (CTB) ranged 200-350 nm from O2– to Eu3+, and the 5D0 ? 7FJ (J=1 centered at 592 nm orange, J=2 at 615 nm red) transitions of Eu3+ present the typical orange-red emission band. When phosphors were excited by 285 nm light, the spectral overlap of emission band of Bi3+ and excitation spectra of Eu3+ demonstrated the energy transfer from Bi3+ to Eu3+ that positively enhance the orange-red luminescence of Eu3+ in BaY2Si3O10: Eu3+. The optimized doping is 0.08 mol% for Bi3+ and 0.4 mol% for Eu3+. The critical transfer distance was calculated to be 1.604 nm, and the concentration quenching mechanism was mainly due to the electric quadrapole – quadrapole interactions.
