摘要
Eu3+-doped gadolinium orthophosphate (GdPO4) (Eu3+ at% = 0, 2, 5, 7,10,15, 20 and 30) nanoparticles have been prepared by ethylene glycol route and subsequently heated at 500 and 900 degrees C. The crystallite size increases with increasing heat-treatment temperature. Luminescence study shows that magnetic dipole transition (D-5(0) -> F-7(1)) is prominent over the electric dipole transition (D-5(0) -> F-7(2)), which has been attributed to occupancy of inversion symmetry site by more Eu3+ ions in Eu3+-doped GdPO4. The luminescence intensity is enhanced as heat-treatment temperature increases from 500 to 900 degrees C due to the improved crystallinity. Optimum luminescence is observed for 5-7 at% Eu3+ in GdPO4 nanoparticles. Above this concentration, luminescence intensity decreases due to concentration quenching effect. This is supported by lifetime study. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
