摘要:

利用提拉法生长了掺杂浓度为1.0at%~10.0at%的YVO4:Ce3+单晶, XRD分析显示Ce3+ 的掺入没有改变晶体结构。晶体的激发和发射谱测试表明, 在325 nm激发下YVO4:Ce3+发射出峰值在445 nm的蓝光和620 nm附近的红光。蓝光发光强度随Ce3+浓度增加而增强, 当浓度为8.0at%时达到最强, 10.0at%时出现浓度淬灭, 发光减弱; 红光则随着Ce3+浓度的增加而持续增强。通过实验分析推测蓝光来源于Ce3+电子从激发态2D3/2到基态2F5/2的跃迁, 而红光则是由于V4+的电子能级跃迁而形成的。XPS测试显示部分Ce3+失去电子被氧化成为Ce4+, 失去的电子大部分被V5+捕获形成V4+。V4+的d轨道分裂为三个轨道单态2A12B12B2和一个轨道简并态2E等4个能级, 基态为2B2。V4+中电子通过能量传递、辐射跃迁和无辐射跃迁等过程, 可以实现波长在620 nm附近的红光发射以及在620 nm激发下的451 nm蓝光上转换发光。实验证实了上转换发光为双光子过程。研究结果对紫外激发下YVO4:Ce3+红、蓝光发光行为提供了理论支撑。

Abstract:

Pure YVO4 crystal and YVO4 crystal doped with different Ce concentrations were grown by Czochralski method. XRD pattern shows Ce3+ ion enters the YVO4 lattice by occupying the Y3+ site and the crystal structure was not significantly changed. The detection of UV excitation spectrum and emission spectrum of YVO4: Ce3+ at room temperature showed that excited at 325 nm the YVO4: Ce3+ emits two spectra. The main emission spectrum at 445 nm is a broadband peak, caused by transition of 2D3/22F5/2 of Ce3+. The other one is a weak peak emission centered around 620 nm, which presents the emission of V4+. With increase of Ce mole fraction from 1at% to 8at%, the blue emission intensity gradually increases to a maximum value. As Ce fraction increases to 10.0at%, the emission intensity decreases gradually, indicating an obvious concentration quenching. The red emission intensity gradually increases to a maximum value when Ce fraction increases to 10.0at%. Detection by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that Ce4+ and V4+ ions coexist in YVO4:Ce3+, which may result from some of the Ce3+ losing electrons to be oxidized into Ce4+, and most of them being captured by the V5+ ions and, therefore, resulting in V5+→V4+ transformation. Based on V4+ d orbital splitting into 2A1, 2B1, 2B2, and 2E, the 620 nm red emission under 325 nm and 450 nm excitation probably originated from electronic transitions between the V4+splitted d orbits. In conclusion, present analytical data of the luminescence spectra of YVO4: Ce3+ provide a theoretical support for YVO4:Ce3+ emitting red light and blue light simultaneously under UV excitation.
