Effects of Gd3+ substitution on the structure, photoluminescence, scintillation, and thermometric features of Pr3+:Lu2Zr2O7 phosphors
Journal of the American Ceramic Society(2023)
摘要
Abstract In this study, it is shown how the photoluminescence, scintillation, and optical thermometric properties are managed via the introduction of Gd 3+ ions into Pr 3+ :Lu 2 Zr 2 O 7 . Raman spectra validate that partial replacement of Lu 3+ with Gd 3+ can promote the phase transition of Lu 2 Zr 2 O 7 host from the defective fluorite structure to the ordered pyrochlore one. Upon 289 nm excitation, all the samples emit the 483 ( 3 P 0 → 3 H 4 ), 581 ( 1 D 2 → 3 H 4 ), 611 ( 3 P 0 → 3 H 6 ), 636 ( 3 P 0 → 3 F 2 ), and 714 nm ( 3 P 0 → 3 F 4 ) emissions from Pr 3+ ions, which are enhanced with the addition of Gd 3+ ions due to the modification of crystal structure. Dissimilarly, the X‐ray excited luminescence spectra consist of a strong emission located at 314 nm from Gd 3+ ions ( 6 P 7/2 → 8 S 7/2 ), together with the typical emissions from Pr 3+ ions, which exhibit different dependences on the Gd 3+ concentration. When the luminescence intensity ratio between the 3 P 0 → 3 H 6 (611 nm) and 1 D 2 → 3 H 4 (581 nm) transitions is selected for temperature sensing, Pr 3+ :(Lu 0.75 Gd 0.25 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 shows the optimal relative sensing sensitivity of 0.78% K −1 at 303 K, which is higher than that of the Gd 3+ ‐free sample. Therefore, the developed Pr 3+ :(Lu, Gd) 2 Zr 2 O 7 phosphors have the applicative potential for optical thermometry, X‐ray detection, and photodynamic therapy.
