AbstractTrivalent lanthanide ions display fascinating optical properties. Therefore, the rare-earth complexes of terbium fumarate heptahydrate and GdTb fumarate heptahydrate were grown by using a single gel diffusion technique. The crystals were characterized by different physicochemical techniques of characterization. UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectrophotometric experiments were carried out to study the optical properties of the grown crystals. Under various excitations (339 nm, 350 nm or 368 nm) the terbium fumarate complex emitted characteristic (4f-4f) green emission of Tb3+ (5D4-7FJ, J = 6, 5, 4 and 3, respectively). Luminescence spectra showed that Gd3+ ions in the mixed complex have not affected the luminescence emission peak positions, but remarkably increased the luminescent intensities of the terbium complex. The energy-transfer mechanism between the ligand and the central Tb3+ ions and from the Gd3+ to the Tb3+ was discussed.

ABSTRACTWe discuss the energy transfer mechanism between rare-earth 4f-shells and III-V semiconductor hosts. For Yb-doped InP, we have proposed an excitation and relaxation model, which explains experimental results for the electronic and optical properties. The Yb 4f-shell is excited by a recombination of an electron and a hole at an electron trap formed by Yb, which is located near the bottom of the conduction band of InP. At high temperatures, the relaxation energy of the Yb 4f-shell is back transferred as a host electron-hole pair, resulting in Yb luminescence quenching. We have found that Er-doped GaAs samples grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition contain as much C as Er. Rutherford back scattering and electronic property measurement results suggested that most of the Er atoms form complexes with C atoms, and these complexes are not electrically active. Such samples showed complicated Er 4f-shell luminescence spectra. To obtain a simple Er luminescence spectrum with a high peak intensity, O was intentionally doped with Er. Er-O complexes seemed to be formed in GaAs and these are responsible for simple and strong 4f-shell luminescence.

AbstractThe luminescence spectra and radiative lifetimes of a series of d3 and d6 double complex compounds with bipyridine (bip), phenanthroline (phen), ammonia and ethylenediamine (en) ligands in the cations and chloride, cyanide, thiocyanide and oxalate (ox) ligands in the anions have been investigated at temperatures down to 2 K. Although energy transfer between the component ions is predicted from the Förster and Dexter theory to be effective due to the finite overlap of the donor emission and the acceptor absorption spectra, no emission could be detected for most of the double complexes. Only [Ru(bip)3]tr-[Cr(NH3)2(NCS)4]2, [Ru(bip)3][PtCl6] and [Cr(d4-en)3] [Rh(SCN)6] exhibit characteristic luminescence spectra which in part are enhanced compared to their component emissions. For rationalizing the results, radiationless deactivation by various decay channels which compete with the energy transfer mechanism must be considered.

β-Ca3(PO4)2 type phosphors Ca9Tb(PO4)7:Mn2+ were fabricated by high temperature solid state reaction. Under 377 nm light excitation, the Ca9Tb(PO4)7 host displays the green emission attributable to the characteristic emission of Tb3+ ions peaking at 488, 542, 586, and 620 nm, respectively. The red broadband emission is observed when Ca9Tb(PO4)7 is doped with Mn2+ ions. The emission is attributed to the energy transfer from Tb3+ to Mn2+ ions; this facilitates the realization of the tunable green–red emission. The energy transfer mechanism from Tb3+ to Mn2+ is defined as quadrupole–quadrupole interaction. Furthermore, the thermal stability of Ca9Tb(PO4)7:Mn2+ samples has been studied, and it can maintain half the emission intensity exceeding 424 K. This demonstrates their potential applications in white light LEDs (w-LEDs).

Ten kinds of terbium doped inert yttrium complexes with 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylate (2,3-pzdc2-) have been synthesized. Characterization results indicate that the complexes have the compositions of Tb (pzdc)1.55H2O and TbxYy(pzdc)1.55H2O (x:y=0.10:0.90; 0.20:0.80; 0.30:0.70; 0.40:0.60; 0.60:0.40; 0.70:0.30; 0.80:0.20; 0.90:0.10). IR spectra show that the lanthanide ions coordinate with the carboxylic oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms of the ligands. Luminescence spectra show that the Y(III) ions can remarkably increase the luminescent intensities of terbium complexes. And Tb0.7Y0.3(pzdc)1.55H2O exhibits the strongest luminescent emission. Furthermore, the doped lanthanide complexes show longer luminescence lifetimes and higher quantum yields. The enhanced luminescence efficiencies of Tb3+ions in the doped complexes may result from intramolecular energy transfer as well as the decrease of the self-quench of the Tb3+ions induced by the doped Y(III) ions.

Rare earth metal complexes have special characteristics, such as extremely narrow emission bands and high internal quantum efficiencies, which are suitable to be used as the emission materials, chemistry and biological technology. Ternary nano complex of terbium gatifloxacin phenanthroline was synthesized.The composition and structure of ternary complex were characterized by element analysis, Mass Spectrometry (MS), UltraViolet Absorption Spectrometry (UV) and fluorescence spectra(FS). The influences of solubility, thermal stability and luminescent properties of complex as well as addition of phenanthroline secondary ligands on the fluorescence spectra of the ternary complexes were studied. The results of fluorescence spectra analysis showed that partial energy was transferred from Characterization to terbium ions by intramolecular energy transfer processes, meanwhile, the addition of phenanthroline can effectively increase the luminescence intensity of terbium icons. The complex possessed well luminescence and showed characteristic emission peaks of Tb3+ under UV light excitation and emitted strong green fluorescence. Moreover, in an ITO/PVK/Tb(GFLX)3Phen/Al device, Tb3+ ion can be excited by intramolecular ligand-to-metal energy transfer process. The main peak of emission at 545 nm is attributed to 5D0→7F2 transition of the Tb3+ ion, and this process results in the enhancing green emission. Biological actrivity properties of the rare earth complex was well studied.
