Abstract

En 中文
Near infrared (NIR) emitting, Nd3+-doped Rankinite type Ca3Si2O7 silicate phosphors were synthesized using solid-state reaction method. Morphology, crystal structure and optoelectronic properties of the proposed silicate were analysed using SEM, XRD and photoluminescence, respectively. XRD confirms the Rankinite type monoclinic structure having a space group of P21/a (No.14). SEM, EDS and elemental mapping studies approve the surface properties and elemental composition. The photoluminescence (PL) emission observed in NIR region upon Nd3+ doping at 1065 nm attributed to 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 under the fixed excitation of 589 nm (4I9/2 → 4G7/2). The concentration quenching is recorded at 1.0 mol% of Nd3+ ions. The critical distance (Rc) is 31.39 Å, which surpasses the ideal range ~5 Å, typical of exchange interactions. Van Uitert confirmed the transfer of energy between nearest neighbouring ions, which contributes to the concentration quenching. The obtained results suggest it as a potential optical material for optoelectronic devices.
