Luminescent Properties of LiTaO3:Tm3+, Yb3+ Phosphors Prepared by Ball Milling Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

LiTaO3: Tm3+, Yb3+ powders were synthesized by a high-energy ball-milling (HEB) method compared with the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. Under the excitation of 980 nm laser, the strong blue emission (477 nm) band is observed and attributed to 1G4- 3H6 of Tm3+. Because of it causing high local temperature and narrow particles size, increasing the contact area between the particles and improved crystallinity of the host, synthesis by high-energy ball milling show higher photoluminescence (PL) intensity compared to the solid state reaction method. In the process of mechanical milling, Tm3+, Yb3+ co-doped LiTaO3 phosphors with high photoluminescence property could be achieved at a relatively low reaction temperature.
