摘要
NaCaPO4:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors were prepared by a solid-state reaction. Their luminescence properties reveal that an efficient energy transfer from the Ce3+ to Tb3+ ions occurs, and its mechanism is a resonant type by means of a dipole-quadrupole reaction. The critical distance of the energy transfer has been calculated by concentration-quenching and spectral-overlap methods. The varied emitted color of the phosphors from blue to yellow-greenish can be achieved by properly tuning the relative ratio of Ce3+ and Tb3+ through the energy transfer from the Ce3+ to Tb3+ ions. These results indicate that NaCaPO4:Ce3+,Tb3+ is potentially useful as a highly efficient, green-emitting, UV-convertible phosphor for white-light-emitting diodes. Moreover, the accurate oscillator strength ratio of the electric quadrupole-to-dipole transitions for the Tb3+ ion was obtained to be about 10(-3), which may be of much significance in the estimate of the critical distance of the dipole-quadrupole interaction between Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions through Dexter's energy-transfer theory.
