Synthesis and luminescent properties of violet-ultraviolet long afterglow phosphors

摘要

The M_(1.99)MgSi_2O_7: Ce~(3+) 0.01 (M: Ba, Sr, Ca) phosphors were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. All the samples emit the violet-ultraviolet light with a broad emission band from about 330 nm to 500 nm. All the phosphors samples show a long afterglow. The strongest afterglow intensity and the longest decay duration of the afterglow come from the Ca_(1.99)MgSi_2O_7: Ce~(3+)ooi sample. It is attributed to the suitable trap depth and the high trap concentration of this sample. The traps of these phosphors are induced by the lattice defects. A suitable model involving the cation vacancies and the oxygen vacancies, which act as the hole traps and the electron traps respectively, is proposed.
