In this study, we investigated the photoluminescence characteristics of Tm3+ and Dy3+ co-doped in LiMgBO3, focusing on energy transfer and spectral properties. By optimizing the concentration, a tunable emission from blue to warm white light was achieved, with the energy transfer between Tm3+ and Dy3+ validated through spectral overlap and PL analysis.
We report on thermal-, structural-, optical-, and energy transfer (ET)-based photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of Tm3+ co-doped with Dy3+ in a single-phase LiMgBO3 host material. Tm3+ exhibits vibrant blue emission (1D2 -> 3F4: 456 nm) and Dy3+ displays strong yellowish-white emission (4F9/2 -> 6H13/2: 573 nm) under ultraviolet (UV) excitation. When the optimum concentration (0.03) of Tm3+ is co-doped with different amounts of Dy3+, the PL intensity of Tm3+: 1D2 -> 3F4 declines but increases for Dy3+: 4F9/2 -> 6HJ (J = 11/2, 13/2, 15/2), which suggests ET from Tm3+-> Dy3+ and demonstrates electric dipole-dipole interaction with a critical distance of 11.07 A. The ET between Tm3+ and Dy3+ is validated from the spectral overlap of Tm3+ PL and Dy3+ absorption, Tm3+/Dy3+ PL spectra, Tm3+-dependent lifetimes, and ET parameters such as efficiency and probability. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates display the color tunability of Tm3+ phosphor from blue light (0.146, 0.045) to warm white light (0.334, 0.306) with a correlated color temperature (CCT) value of 5,404 K in response to Dy3+ doping. The PL intensity of LiMgBO3:0.03Tm3+/0.05Dy3+ increases nearly two-fold on co-doping with 5% Li+ as a charge compensator. Tm3+/Dy3+/Li+ co-activated material exhibits good thermal stability, retaining 64% of the initial PL intensity, which suggests its practical applicability as UV light triggered white light-emitting devices.

Compositional engineering of ZnBr2-doped CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals: insights into structure transformation, optical performance, and charge-carrier dynamics

Naresh Varnakavi, Kiran Gupta, Kyunghoon Lee, Jiwoong Yang, Pil-Ryung Cha, Nohyun Lee

Summary: Compositional engineering of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) through Zn(ii) doping is an effective strategy to enhance their stability, defect passivation, and photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. Doping ZnBr2 gradually transforms CsPbBr3 into Cs4PbBr6 and introduces additional Br- ions, leading to the inhibition of surface defects and improvement of PL quantum yield. Experimental characterization techniques reveal that ZnBr2 doping suppresses nonradiative carrier trapping centers and generates shallow energy states, facilitating radiative recombination. The temperature-dependent studies demonstrate that temperature changes can influence radiative recombination and de-trapping processes.
