摘要：

Chemically stable and transparent K2NaLuF6 single crystals doped with Tm3+ ions were grown by the micro-pulling down method (mu-PD). X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the as-grown crystals possess cubic structure with Fm3m space group. The radio- and photo-luminescence spectra of the grown crystals were measured in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and ultraviolet (UV) regions. Tm:K2NaLuF6 showed high emission intensity at 188 nm in the radio- and photo-luminescence spectra (lambda(exc) = 159 nm). The decay time and light yield of Tm:K2NaLuF6 were also investigated by Am-241 5.5 MeV alpha-ray irradiation. The main component of the decay time was a 4-8 mu s and this emission was considered as 5d-4f emission from 4f(n - 1)5d high-spin state (parity allowed and spin forbidden transition). In addition to this, the light yield of Tm-doped K2NaLuF6 single crystals systematically increased with increasing Tm concentration. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
