摘要
Eu3+ activated M'-type LuTaO4 phosphors were successfully prepared by using inorganic salts, citric acid and PEG400 via the Pechini sol-gel technique. Their crystallization, morphology, photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) characteristics were investigated in detail. The results indicated that the M'-type LuTaO4 phase appeared at about 850 degrees C, which was much lower than the crystallization temperature of the solid-state reaction. And the grain size of the phosphor was controlled from nano- to micron-scale by adjusting the sintering temperature. The optimal doping concentration of Lu1-xEuxTaO4 phosphors was at x=0.10. With the sintering temperature increasing, PL intensity of the phosphor was improved remarkably, whereas its decay time was decreased. It is worth to notice that the sal-gel derived M'-type LuTaO4:Eu3+ phosphors reveal excellent XEL performance and easily controlled grain size, which implies that they will have promising applications in high-spatial-resolution X-ray imaging.
