В люминофорах БаБ2 : Gd3+, ТЬ3+ с зеленым свечением, синтезированных мокрым химическим методом, наблюдалось понижение частоты кванта излучения в видимую область через процесс даун-конверсии. Анализ методом порошковой рентгеновской дифракции показал структурную чистоту синтезированных люминофоров. Спектры возбуждения и фотолюминесценции в ультрафиолетовой (УФ) и вакуумной ультрафиолетовой (ВУФ) областях измеряли

на экспериментальной спектроскопической установке синхротронного излучения 4Б8-УиУ (г. Пекин, КНР). В процессе понижения частоты кванта один фотон из ВУФ или УФ области излучения претерпевает конверсию в более, чем один фотон люминесценции в видимой области, и эти фотоны испускаются ионами ТЬ3+ по механизмам кросс-релаксации и прямого энергопереноса между двумя ионами ТЬ3+ либо между ионами ТЬ3+ и Оё3+, что зависит от длины волны возбуждающего излучения. Путем отслеживания спектров испускания при различных длинах волн возбуждающего излучения исследован двухступенчатый процесс переноса энергии. Теоретически рассчитанные максимальные значения наблюдаемого квантового выхода составили 148 и 177 % для длин волн возбуждающего излучения 174 и 219 нм соответственно.

1. Introduction

Luminescent tubes based on phosphors doped with lanthanide ions are presently useful rely on the ultraviolet (UV) excitation originating from a mercury discharge. These luminescent tubes are very popular for domestic and other purpose lighting applications. The main emission line of mercury is positioned at 254 nm. The major drawback of mercury-based fluorescent lamps is toxicity due to mercury and causes serious environmental concerns. In order to overcome these drawbacks the mercury-based discharge lamps are replaced by a xenon-based fluorescent tube. The xenon discharge has emissions in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), particularly the Xe resonance emission line (147 nm) and/or the Xe2 molecular emission band (172 nm). The advantage of this xenon discharge is that it requires no start-up time. The phosphors presently worn in luminescent tubes do not absorb the 147 and 172 nm radiation efficiently and also undergo as of degradation upon VUV excitation. Moreover, in the conversion of one VUV photon of the xenon discharge into a visible photon more energy is lost [1].

In order to overcome these difficulties, it is necessary to develop the phosphors which absorb one high-energy VUV photon and split into two or more low energy (visible) photons; the phenomenon is known as quantum cutting (QC). The QC provides a means to obtain two or more photons for each absorbed photon [2 — 5]. Therefore it serves as a DC mechanism with quantum efficiency greater than unity and

it offers the prospect of providing improved energy efficiency in lighting devices [6]. In order to obtain quantum-cutting phosphors with quantum efficiencies exceeding unity, the lanthanide ions are palpable candidates for this purpose due to their energy level structures that afford metastable levels from which quantum-cutting processes are promising.

Shi, et al. [7] reported that the inorganic host matrix BaF2 is a crystal having broad band about 10.9 eV. The BaF2:Re3+ (Ce, Pr, Tb, Eu, Dy) were studied in earlier reports [8 — 10]. The process of energy transfer (ET) and QC in BaF2: Gd3+, Eu3+ can occur by the dopants combination of Gd3+ and Eu3+, in which Gd3+ acts as a sensitizer, and absorbed high energy VUV photon which cuts into two visible photons emitted by two Eu3+ ions which act as activators. Palan, et al. [11, 12] reported terbium doped various phosphor materials.

Motivated from the above survey, here we intended to study the visible QC process under the excitation of VUV or UV radiation in BaF2:Gd3+, Tb3+ phosphors synthesized via wet chemical method followed by reactive atmosphere process (RAP). Belsare, et al. [13] well discussed the RAP in their papers. Triva-lent terbium ions co-doped with Gd3+ ions in the BaF2 host matrix are reported for the first time.

Barium Gd3+, Tb3+

2. Experimental

fluoride (BaF2) co-doped with phosphors was prepared by

wet chemical method followed by reactive atmospheric process. In this method we used metal carbonate like BaCO3 (99.99 % AR) as a precursor. Barium carbonate was taken in the teflon beaker. A small amount of double-distilled water was added into the beaker and stirred it, then hydrofluoric acid (HF) was added in it to get slurry. The slurry was dried by blowing air or heating on a hot plate (80°C). A freshly prepared BaF2 host was obtained. Gd2O3 (99.9% AR) and Tb2(SO4)3-8H2O (99.90 %, AR) were boiled in HNO3 and evaporated to dryness,

so as to convert them into respective nitrates. The aqueous solution of these nitrates was used as a dopant. The 1 mol % of gadolinium nitrate and 1mol % of terbium nitrate were mixed in the host material and dried completely by blowing hot air to obtain dried powder. The dried powder was transferred to a glass tube and about 2.5 wt. % RAP agent was added. In this process, we used ammonium fluoride as a RAP agent. The tube was closed with a tight stopper and slowly heated to 500°C for 2 h. The stopper was removed and the powders were transferred

to a graphite crucible pre-heated to a suitable temperature. After heating in the graphite crucible for 1 h the resulting phosphor was rapidly quenched down to room temperature [13]. The complete process involved in the reaction is presented as a flow chart in Fig. 1. The crystal structure of the phosphor powders were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis by using Rigaku miniflex II X-ray diffractometer with a scan speed of 2.000°/min and Cu^T (k = 0.15406 nm) radiation in the range from 10° to 80°. The PLE and PL spectra in the VUV region were measured at 4B8-VUV spectroscopy experimental station on beam line of the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF), P.R. China. All the measurements were performed at room temperature.

3. Results and discussion

XRD of BaF2 : 1% Gd3+, *Tb3+. The phase purity of BaF2: 1% Gd3+, xTb3+ (0.5% < x < 7.0%) samples were confirmed by XRD pattern as shown in Fig. 2. The XRD pattern of prepared phosphors matched well with ICDD file card No. 01-085-1341. From the XRD pattern, the high intensity peaks were observed at 20 = 24.87, 28.79, 41.17, 48.70, 51.02, 59.6, 65.62 and 67.55 degrees which correspond to (1 1 1), (2 0 0), (2 2 0), (3 1 1), (2 2 2), (4 0 0), (3 3 1) and (4 2 0) diffraction planes respectively.

Photoluminescence properties of BaF2:

, *Tb3+. The concentration quenching as a sensitizer in the BaF2 host matrix was first determined. From Fig. 3 it can be advocated that at 1 mol % of Gd3+ ions in BaF2 the host shows optimum intensity peak at 310 nm under an excitation wavelength of 274 nm [14].

Fig. 4, a shows VUV-UV excitation spectra of photoluminescence (PLE spectra) of BaF2 : 1% Gd 3+, xTb3+ (0.5 % < x < 7.0 %) in the range from 125 to 300 nm. All the excitation spectra are the same except for their intensities. The spectra were obtained 50 60 20, degrees by monitoring at the transition of 5D4 —>7F5 of Tb3+, with an emission wavelength of 543 nm.

The spectra consist of two bands and one small intensity peak. The first broad excitation band ranging from 150 to 190 nm and second excitation band ranging from 200 to 240 nm are centered at 174 and 219 nm, respectively. They are assigned to spin-allowed transitions from the 4/ 8(7F6) to low-spin 4/ 75d states of Tb3+ [15, 16]. The broadening of the absorption band of Tb3+ at 219 nm in the excitation spectrum also supports the fact that the origin of absorption is attributed to 4/ 8 ^ 4/ 7 5d (LS) transition, as described by Wegh, et al. [15] and Lee, et al. [17]. Besides, the broadening of the absorption band is also complicated by the overlapping of the excitation transitions accredited to 8S7/2 ^ 6Gj of Gd3+ and 7F6 ^ 4/7 5d (LS) of Tb3+. The one small intensity peak at 274 and

The measured emission spectra of BaF2: 1% Gd3+, xTb3+ (0.5% < x < 7.0%) monitored at 274, 219 and 174 nm are shown in Fig. 4, b, c and d . The emissions could be accredited to 5D3 ^ 7FT (J = 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) and 5D ^ 1FT ( J = 3, 4, 5 and 6) transitions of

543 nm. The 5D4 emission of Tb3+ increased while the 5D3 emission decreased with an increase in the Tb3+ content, which is due to the cross relaxation between the 5D3 ^ 5D4

transition and 7F

7F transition of Tb3+

[18, 19]. The 5D4 emission of Tb3+ increased rapidly with an increase in the concentration of Tb3+. This is due to numerous factors along Tb3+ ions among which the transition 5D4 ^ 7F5 with the cross relaxation between the 5D3 and leads to the green emission at a wavelength of 5D levels since luminescence centers increase

with concentration of Tb3+ ions in the host matrix.

Quantum cutting in BaF2: 1% Gd 3+, *Tb3+.

In the QC process, one VUV-UV photon absorbed by Tb3+ ion "splits" into more than one visible photons emitted by Tb3+ through a cross-relaxation energy transfer (CRET) and a direct energy transfer (DET) between two Tb3+ ions or Tb3+ and Gd3+ ions, depending on the excitation wavelength, was observed in BaF2: 1% Gd3+, Tb3+ samples. Fig. 5 shows three simplified energy level diagrams for Ba(099-x)F2: 1% Gd3+ , xTb3+. No quantum cutting occurs in BaF2: 1% Gd 3+, xTb3+ with excitation of the 8S7/2 ^ 6Ij level of Gd3+ (274 nm) as shown in Fig. 5, a. When Tb3+ ions in the host matrix are excited to their 4/ 75d1 states, the QC process can be realized by two steps: cross relaxation mechanism (step 1 is indicated by number 1 in the circle) and DET (step 2 is indicated by number 2 in the circle) as shown in Fig. 5, b and c. As revealed by the PL spectra shown in Figs. 6, a, b and c, the QC process is proposed to occur firstly through the pumping of Tb3+ and, afterwards, the released energy owing to

4f5d

5D transition was used to pump a

neighboring Tb3+ by cross-relaxation (indicated by lines number 1) that resulted in green emission at 543 nm (indicated by lines 3).

Secondly, in the process of relaxation of Tb3+ from 4/5 d to higher 5DJ levels, the released energy could be directly transferred from Tb3+ ion to a neighboring Gd3+ ion to generate the UV emission at 311 nm (indicated by lines 4) or the excited Tb3+ ion could further relax to the 5D3 4 levels to generate the second green emitting photon (indicated by line 3), in which Tb3+ plays the role of activator by converting a VUV or UV photon into two green-emitting photons [20].

In the second step, i.e. the process of relaxation of Tb3+ from 4/5d to higher 5DJ levels, the released energy utilized to excite Tb3+ion could further relax to the 5D3 4 levels with increasing the Tb3+ ions concentration in the host matrix.

The extra quantum efficiency n corresponding to cross relaxation can be theoretically calculated by the emission spectra, and some essential premises are proposed that,

the VUV absorption of phosphors should not be taken into account and possible nonradiative losses due to energy migration over defects and impurities in samples must be ignored [20]. For calculations of theoretical value of QE involved in the QC processes, in addition to nDT (i.e., 100 %), we have calculated the extra QE equivalent to cross relaxation (nQC) from Tb3+ ion to a neighboring Tb3+ ion through QC with the following equation proposed by Wegh, et al. [15, 21 — 24] and modified by Lee, et al. [17]:

Here PCR, PDT represent the probabilities for cross relaxation (CR) and direct energy (DE) transfer mechanisms, respectively; R(5D4/rest) is the ratio of PL intensity of 5D4 to that accredited to 5D3 of Tb3+ and 6P7/2 of Gd3+ where the subscripts indicate the excitation from Tb3+ or Gd3+. If the QE of a phosphor via DET is 100%, from the integrated peak intensity then the cross relaxation efficiency of the phosphor was calculated theoretically.

The CRET efficiency increases with an increase in Tb3+ content in the host matrix and, according to calculations, maximum quantum

efficiency (QE) was calculated to be 148 % and 177% under the excitation wavelength of 174 and 219 nm, respectively, at 3% of Tb3+ ions concentration. The cross-relaxation efficiency decrease at x = 7 % concentration of Tb3+ may be due to a high concentration of defects or impurities in the host matrix [25].

4. Conclusions

The Ba(0 99-x)F2 : 1% Gd 3+, xTb3+ (0.5 % < x < < 7.0 %) phosphors were successfully prepared by the wet chemical method under RAP. Visible quantum cutting through down conversion has been observed in BaF2 : 1% Gd 3+, xTb3+ phosphor. The quantum efficiency of BaF2 : 1% Gd3+, xTb3+ phosphor was calculated and the optimal theoretical quantum efficiency was found to be 148 and 177 % under the excitation of 174 and 219 nm, respectively, for 3 % of Tb3+ ions. From the above investigational

report we conclude that the phosphors BaF2: Gd3+, Tb3+ can be an excellent potential candidate for the applications in Hg-free fluorescent lamps, plasma display panels and 3D PDPs technology.
