Synthesis and characterization of oxygen doped ZnTe for powder phosphor application
نویسنده
چکیده
The synthesis of efficient ZnTe powder phosphors is very difficult due to its high moisture sensitivity and chemical instability during processing. In this study, an efficient ZnTe:O powder phosphor for x-ray imaging application was successfully synthesized by vacuum firing ZnTe powder prepared from ZnTe bulk crystals ball-milled in an O2 atmosphere. The phosphors were characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements and found to exhibit a luminescent efficiency three times that of ZnTe:O prepared by ZnO doping. The ZnTe:O samples exhibited a deep red emission centered at 680 nm and a CL decay time of 1.1 s.

Lu3+/Yb3+ and Lu3+/Er3+ Co-doped Sb2Se3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a Co-reduction method in hydrothermal condition. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the LnxLn′xSb2-2xSe3 Ln: Lu3+/Yb3+ and Lu3+/Er3+ crystals (x= 0.00-0.04) are isostructural with Sb2Se3. The cell parameters were increased for compounds upon increasing the dopant content (x). SEM and TEM images show that Co-doping of Lu3+/...

A new thermographic phosphor based on chromium(III)-doped yttrium aluminum borate (YAB) is obtained as single crystals by high temperature flux growth and as a microcrystalline powder via solution combustion synthesis. The phosphor is excitable both in the blue (lambda(max) 422 nm) and in the red part of the spectrum (lambda(max) 600 nm) and shows bright NIR emission. The brightness of the phos...
