Structural and Luminescence Properties of Eu3+ and Dy3+ Doped Magnesium Tellurite Borophosphate Ceramic

Lately, researchers have been considering the miscellaneous in the borophosphate crystalline’s luminescence as one of the important properties in hunt of the new functional material. In this study we discus the structural and luminescence properties of Eu3+/Dy3+ co-doped borophosphate ceramic. A series of ceramic samples based on B2O3-(65-)P2O5-25MgO-10TeO2 where (065) mol has successfully been prepared using solid state reaction method and sintered at 900°C. The crystalline phase of the powder samples was characterized using X-ray diffraction pattern. The diffraction patterns analysis indicated that the prepared samples were polycrystalline phase of B(PO4), Mg(PO3)2and Mg(BO3)(PO4). The local structure network structure has been investigated using Infrared Spectroscopy using KBr method. The FT-Infrared spectra reveal the presence of B-O-B vibrations, BO3 and BO4 bridging oxygen and P-O stretching modes of P-O-P, P=O and PO4 unit in the ceramics sample. Meanwhile, the luminescence properties of doped sample were measured based on analysis of emission spectra of photoluminescence spectroscopy. The emission peaks of Eu3+ doped sample were located at 593 nm, 613 nm, 652 nm, 685 nm due to the assigned transition 5D0-7FJ( J = 1, 2, 3, 4 ). The Dy3+ emission is due to 4F9/2 -5H15/2 and 4F9/2-6H13/2 transition. For Eu3+/Dy3+ co-doped sample consists of peaks belonging to the 4F9/2-6H15/2 (482 nm) and 4F9/2-6H13/2 (573 nm) transition while red emission 5D0-7F2 transitions appears at 611 nm. Improvement in the optical properties due to co-doping may be useful to discover a new highly efficient luminescent material that are very useful in optical devices and solid-state lighting.
