Abstract

Abstract:

Gd₂O₂S:Tb³⁺ micro/submicro crystals were prepared by high temperature solid phase method and the effects of reaction conditions on the crystals' growth and its luminescence properties were investigated. By means of characterization methods of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectroscopy (PL), the results obtained show that each factor such as reaction time, temperature and Tb³⁺ doping quantity in the Gd₂O₂S:Tb³⁺ crystals' growth et. al. has obviously effect on the luminescence properties. The sample doped with 7% of Tb³⁺, which was synthesized at 900℃ for 4 h has the optimal fluorescence performance. The Gd₂O₂S:Tb³⁺ synthesized as above has excellent luminescent properties:a strong emission peak at λ=543 nm appears when the crystals were excited by 254 nm light, which corresponds to Tb³⁺(⁵D₄→⁷F₅) transition.

Key words: micro/submicro crystal, high temperature solid phase, gadolinium oxysulfide, luminescent
