Abstract:

Phosphors of KMgF3∶Eu2+, KMgF3∶Ce3+and KMgF3∶Eu2+,Ce3+nanoparticles were synthesized in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)/2-octanol/water microemulsion systems. X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns was used to identify the formation of KMgF3 phase without detectable impurity. Environment scanning electron microscopy(ESEM) images show the even size distribution of the nanoparticles with pellet morphology. Photoluminescence characteristics of the rare earth ions doped nanoparticles were investigated and compared with that of the polycrystalline products prepared by solid state reaction at a high temperature. The emission band of the Ce3+ could only be observed due to absorbing the exciting energy competitively between the Eu2+ and Ce3+ in co-doped system of KMgF3 nanoparticles,while the emission peak of the Eu2+could only be observed due to energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+appearing in the KMgF3∶Eu2+,Ce3+polycrystalline powder. The mechanism on energr transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+ in polycrystal and from Eu2+ to Ce3+in nanocrystal KMgF3∶Eu2+,Ce3+was discussed by means of Eu2+ excitation spectrum and Ce3+emission spectrum.
