The development of white-light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs) makes it meaningful to develop novel high-performance phosphors excited by blue light. Herein, BiOCl:Pr3+ green-yellow phosphors were prepared via a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, luminescent properties, lifetime, thermal quenching behavior, and quantum yield were studied in detail. The BiOCl:Pr3+ phosphors presented several emission peaks located in green and red regions, under excitation at 453 nm. The CIE coordinates could be tuned along with the changed doping concentration with fair luminescence efficiency. The results also indicated that the optimized doping concentration of Pr3+ ions was at x = 0.0075 because of the concentration quenching behavior resulting from an intense exchange effect. When the temperature reached 150 °C, the intensity of the emission peak at 495 nm could remain at 78% of that at room temperature. The activation energy of 0.20 eV also confirmed that the BiOCl:Pr3+ phosphor exhibited good thermal stability. All these results indicate that the prepared products have potential to be used as a high-performance green-yellow-light-emitting phosphor for blue-light-based w-LEDs.

The YAG:Ce3+, Gd3+/La3+ yellow phosphors were prepared by co-precipitation method with 0.1mol/L ammonium bicarbonate and aqueous ammonia as precipitants, and the crystal structure, morphology, luminescent properties were investigated. The results indicated that the emission peaks of the YAG:Ce3+, Gd3+/La3+ were redshifted from 535nm to 545.5nm /547nm, and the relative emission intensity declined from 330nm to 145/132 with doping content of Gd3+ /La3+ increased from 0 to 0.9mol at room temperature. Compared with Gd-doping phosphors, the redshift of La3+-doping phosphor was larger and the relative emission intensity declined more quickly. Compared with YAG:Ce3+, the thermal quenching characteristics of YAG:Ce,Gd and YAG:Ce,La were noticeably worse when the temperature increased, but the extents of peak wavelength redshifts were almost the same, about is 7-8nm in the experimental temperature range (50-200°C), have little relation with the doping concentration change. Doping concentrations of Gd or La couldn't be too high, and the suitable concentration was less than 0.6mol at the regulating color temperature and color index.

Orange-red-emitting sodium yttrium orthosilicate NaYSiO4:xSm3+ (x = 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) were synthesized. The phase structure and photoluminescence properties of these phosphors were investigated. The emission spectrum obtained by excitation into 406 nm contains exclusively the characteristic emissions of Sm3+ at 571 nm, 602 nm, 648 nm, and 710 nm, which correspond to the transitions from 4G5/2 to 6H5/2, 6H7/2, 6H9/2, and 6H11/2 of Sm3+, respectively. The strongest one is located at 602 nm due to the 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 transition of Sm3+, generating bright orange–red light. The optimum dopant concentration of Sm3+ ions in NaYSiO4:xSm3+ is around 2 mol%, and the critical transfer distance of Sm3+ is calculated as 23 Å. The thermal quenching temperature is above 500 K. The fluorescence lifetime of Sm3+ in NaYSiO4:0.02Sm3+ is 1.83 ms. The NaYSiO4:Sm3+ phosphors may be potentially used as red phosphors for white light emitting diodes.

Solar thermal energy has shown remarkable growth in recent years — incorporating many new technologies into new applications [1]. Nanofluids — suspensions of nanoparticles in conventional fluids — have shown promise to make efficient volumetric-absorption solar collectors [2–4]. It has also been shown that concentrated light energy can efficiently cause localized phase change in a nanofluid [5]. These findings indicate that it may be advantageous to create a ‘direct, volumetric nanofluid steam generator’. That is, a solar collector design which could minimize the number of energy transfer steps, and thus minimize losses in converting sunlight (via thermal energy) to electricity. To study this, we use a testing apparatus where concentrated laser light at 532 nm — a wavelength very near the solar spectrum peak — is incident on a highly absorbing sample. The highly absorbing samples compared in this study are black dyes, black painted surfaces, and silver nanofluids — with de-ionized water as a base fluid. Each of these samples converts light energy to heat — to varying degrees — in a localized region. This region is monitored simultaneously with a digital camera and an infrared camera. The resulting observed temperature profile and bubble dynamics are compared for these fluids. For pure water with a black backing, some very high temperatures (>300 °C) are observed with a laser input of ∼75 W/cm2. Using a similar absorption potential, we observed higher temperatures in the nanofluids when compared to black dyes. A simplified boiling heat transfer analysis based on these results is also presented. We also noticed differences in bubble size and growth rates for the different samples. Overall, this study represents a proof-of-concept test for a novel volumetric, direct steam generator. These results of this test indicate that it may be possible to efficiently generate steam directly in a controlled, localized volume — i.e. without heating up passive system components.

ABSTRACTGaN crystalline powders have been synthesized by the reaction of a Ga vapor with an ammonia gas at the reaction temperature Tr = 900 - 1100°C in an atmospheric-pressure open-tube reactor. The size of GaN particles ranges from 0.2 to 2νm. It was found that the structural and luminescent properties depend strongly on Tr. The mean size of the GaN particles increased as Tr is raised. The GaN powders exhibited photoluminescence (PL) dominated by the band edge emissions. Thermal quenching is relatively significant for the powders synthesized at lower Tr. This is presumably due to enhanced non-radiative recombination at the surface because of their smaller particle size.

ABSTRACTThe dependence of the luminescent properties of rare-earth impurities on the band structure of the host compound semiconductor has been investigated. Photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to characterize the optical properties of rare-earth doped Ini1−xGaxP layers prepared by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy as a function of alloy composition. Thermal quenching of the Er3+, Yb3+, and Tm3+ related emission was observed over the temperature range of 15K to 360K with activation energies that depended on the alloy composition. From measurements of the thermally activated luminescence quenching, the energy levels of the isovalent erbium, ytterbium, and thulium in the alloys were determined. The variation of the position of the rare-earth related energy levels in the host semiconductor is explained in terms of a vacuum referred binding energy model that should have general applicability to other rare-earth doped semiconductor systems.
