A series of LiGa5O8:Eu3+/Tb3+ phosphors exhibit time-dependent dynamic multicolor afterglow from blue to red or green over several seconds after ceasing the excitation.
A series of Eu3+-doped REMO3 (RE = Lu/Y/La; M = B/Al) phosphors have been synthesized via a high-temperature solid-state method. With the increase of the cation radius from Lu3+ ion to Y3+ ion to La3+ ion in Eu3+-doped REMO3 matrices, the Eu-O charge transfer (CT) energy decreases and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) increases. With the change of cation in the borate radical and aluminate radical from B3+ ion (0.27 Å) to Al3+ ion (0.535 Å), the red-shift of the Eu-O CT band occurs, and their FWHMs increase. Our work provides a reference for Eu3+-doped other complex oxides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
