A novel bifunctional Dy3+ activated RbCaF3 single phase phosphor: Facile synthesis and dual-luminescence properties for WLEDs and dosimetry applications

Potassium and Cesium Fluorinated β-Diketonates: Effect of a Cation and Terminal Substituent on Structural and Thermal Properties

As potential precursors for the synthesis of fluoroperovskites, a family of heavy alkali metal (MI = K, Cs) fluorinated β-diketonates were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and powder-XRD. The crystal structures of the new six complexes, MI(β-dikF)(H2O)X, X = 0 or 1, were also determined. The structural diversity of this poorly explored class of complexes was discussed, including the preferred types of cation polyhedra and the ligand coordination modes, and the thermal properties of the metal β-diketonates were studied by TG-DTA in an inert (He) atmosphere. The data obtained allowed us to reveal the effect of the metal cation and the terminal substituent on the structural and thermal features of this family of complexes.

Tunable luminescence and electrical properties of cerium doped strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4:Ce3+) phosphors for white LED applications

In new research growth long after glow material is a potential candidate due to its physical properties, chemical stability and wide application in modern solid-state lightning (LED), display devices, dosimetry and sensors. A cerium doped strontium aluminate phosphor (SrAl₂O₄:Ce³⁺) was synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure and morphology of phosphors, while doping rare earth metal and lithium metal ion was investigated by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transformed infrared spectrum results of the synthesized phosphor composition conforms the characteristic vibration bands of synthesized phosphor. Surface composition analysis of the prepared samples was examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Photoluminescence emission band observed at ∼420 nm, ∼490 nm and ∼610 nm region under the excitation wavelength of 256 nm. Wight light emission was confirmed using the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) chromatic coordinate graph. The correlated colour temperature (CCT) value of 0.5% Ce³⁺ doped SAO of phosphors was calculated is in the range of 1543 K, which is indicated the synthesized phosphors performance as warm white light source. The obtained phosphor has a high dielectric constant and low loss tangent which is useful to optoelectronic devices.
