We have prepared glasses with the composition of Cu-doped 30Li 3 PO 4-70Al(PO 3) 3 and investigated their luminescence characteristics. The glass samples were synthesized by the melt quenching method, and the Cu concentrations of the prepared samples were 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0%. In the absorption spectrum, the absorptions due to Cu + and Cu 2+ around 290 and 850 nm were observed, respectively. The absorption due to Cu 2+ increased in proportion to the amount of Cu. In the photoluminescence (PL) decay curve, the PL decay time was a typical value of the 3d 9 4s 1-3d 10 transition of Cu + (~30 μs). The scintillation spectra showed a broad emission band from 400 to 600 nm, and the emission intensities were proportional to the Cu concentration.
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.
