The excitation and emission spectra of Eu2+ ions are influenced by the host environment and phonon interactions. Eu2+ activated BaSiF6 phosphor was successfully synthesized using low temperature solution combustion method. The 0.5% sample showed the highest photoluminescence intensity, making it a potential candidate for blue-emitting components in UV-pumped LEDs.
The excitation and emission spectra of Eu2+ ions are dependent on the host environment in which it is doped. This is because the spectra arise from the inter-band transitions between the 4f and 5d orbitals and the electrons transiting between these two orbitals interact with the phonons in the host lattice. In the present work, low temperature solution combustion method was employed for the preparation of Eu2+ activated BaSiF6 phosphor by using urea as a fuel. The structure, vibrations and morphology of the samples were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) which showed that the samples were crystallized in a well known structure. Elemental composition of the given phosphor was confirmed by EDX analysis. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation and emission spectra were recorded for all the samples and the optimum photoluminescence (PL) intensity was obtained for the 0.5 mol% sample. Electron-vibrational interaction parameters were evaluated using a spectrum-fitting method. The expected parameters are found to be satisfactory which is evident from the good agreement between the experimental and simulated emission bands. The International Commission on Illumination chromaticity coordinates was located in the blue region, indicating the possibility of employing this phosphor as a blue-emitting component in Ultraviolet-pumped light emitting diode.

Samirkumar R. Bhelave, Abhijeet R. Kadam, Atul N. Yerpude, Sanjay J. Dhoble

Summary: This article investigates the impact of monovalent cation doping on the optical properties of rare earth (RE = Eu3+, Tb3+) co-doped Ca14Zn6Al10O35 synthesized through a low temperature combustion method. X-ray diffraction measurement confirms the crystalline phase of the Ca14Zn6Al10O35 phosphor. Under near-ultraviolet light excitation, Eu3+-doped Ca14Zn6Al10O35 displays Eu3+ emission bands with a maximum wavelength of approximately 470 nm, as well as peaks at 593 nm and 615 nm. Tb3+-doped Ca14Zn6Al10O35 exhibits a green emission band centered at 544 nm under near-ultraviolet range. Additionally, the energy transfer process in the Eu3+/Tb3+ pair and the enhancement in photoluminescence (PL) intensity with different charge compensation doping were studied. The obtained optimum PL emission intensity in a broad and intense visible spectral range could be significant for the fabrication of white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).

Modification of Anodic Titanium Oxide Bandgap Energy by Incorporation of Tungsten, Molybdenum, and Manganese In Situ during Anodization

Marta Michalska-Domanska, Katarzyna Prabucka, Mateusz Czerwinski

Summary: In this study, selected elements were incorporated into the anodic titanium oxide in situ during the titanium anodization process to modify its bandgap. The main objective was to achieve photoactivity of the anodic titanium oxide over a wider range of sunlight wavelengths. The successful incorporation of the selected elements into the anodic titanium oxide was confirmed. It was observed that the anodic titanium oxides produced at 60 V had bandgap values in the visible region of sunlight. The smallest bandgap value was obtained for the manganese-modified anodic titanium oxide, with a corresponding wavelength of 486.89 nm and a blue color. Additionally, the pH of the electrolyte was found to significantly influence the thickness of the anodic titanium oxide layer. The formation of barrier oxides with properties similar to coatings made by nitriding processes during the anodization process was reported for the first time.
