摘要
Eu3+ photoluminescence is studied in La5Si2BO13 with apatite related structure. La5-xEuxSi2BO13 [x=0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0] compositions are synthesized. The emission results shows that Eu3+ ions occupy two different cationic sites viz., La(1) and La(2). The increase in the intensity of D-5(0)-F-7(0) line with increasing Eu3+ content shows the preferential occupancy of Eu3+ in La(2) site due to the existence of short La(2)-O(4) (free oxide ion) bond. The observation of antiferromagnetic interactions in Gd and Dy analogues supports the structural features elucidates from photoluminescence studies. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.
