Abstract:
A preparation method of rare earth ions doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass is provided. The steps involve: step 1, mixing the source compounds of cerium, terbium and alkaline earth metals and putting the mixture into solvent to get a mixed solution; step 2, impregnating the nanometer pores glass with the mixed solution obtained in step 1; step 3: calcining the impregnated nanometer pores glass obtained in step 2 in a reducing atmosphere, cooling to room temperature, then obtaining the cerium and terbium co-doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass. Besides, the rare earth ions doped alkaline earth metal silicate luminescent glass prepared with aforesaid method is also provided. In the prepared luminescent glass, cerium ions can transmit absorbed energy to terbium ions under the excitation of UV light due to the co-doping of cerium ions. As a result, the said luminescent glass has higher luminous intensity than the glass only doped with terbium.
Abstract:
A new class of nanostructured RE-doped SiO2-base materials that display superior fluorescence properties is provided. In particular, high gain combined with a broad and flat spectral band width is observed in material composed of a high fraction of a nano-dispersed metastable silicate phase in a glassy SiO2 matrix, produced by partial devitrification (crystallization) of several glassy Al2O3/Er2O3- and Y2O3/Er2O3-doped SiO2 compositions. Also, a highly deconvoluted spectral emission, with several prominent peaks, is observed in completely devitrified material, consisting of a uniform nano-dispersion of an equilibrium silicate phase in a crystobalite SiO2 matrix. Such enhanced fluorescence properties were observed in heat treated nanopowders prepared by vapor-phase, solgel, rapid solidification, and spray-pyrolysis methods.
