摘要
The luminescence properties of barium borate phosphate phosphors doped with trivalent terbium ions and the effects of codoping cerium and sodium ions on their emission characteristics were investigated. BaBPO5:Tb3+ phosphors exhibit intense green emissions upon excitation at 230nm. The emissions can be assigned to various D-5(4) -> F-7(J) (J = 31 4, 5, and 6) transitions of Tb3+ ions. Excitation in the 200-230 rim range in BaBPO5:Tb3+ is ascribed to spin-allowed transitions. The relatively weak excitation band at 268 nm is attributed to spin-forbidden transitions. The codoping of Ce3+ ions along with Tb3+ in BaBPO5 results in Tb3+ emissions and the quenching of Ce3+ emissions. Energy transfer from Ce3+ ions to Tb3+ ions increases with an increase in Ce3+ content. The codoping of sodium ions in terbium and cerium ions-doped BaBPO5 phosphors leads to luminescence enhancement. This enhancement is attributed to the reduction in non-radiative losses. These investigations reveal that the phosphors containing Tb3+, Ce3+, and Na+ ions in the BaBPO5 host have potential for applications as green phosphors for tricolor lamps.
