Structural and Luminescence Properties of Eu³⁺ and Dy³⁺ Doped Magnesium Tellurite Borophosphate Ceramic

Abstract:

Lately, researchers have been considering the miscellaneous in the borophosphate crystalline’s luminescence as one of the important properties in hunt of the new functional material. In this study we discus the structural and luminescence properties of Eu^3+/Dy³⁺ co-doped borophosphate ceramic. A series of ceramic samples based on B₂O₃-(65-)P₂O₅-25MgO-10TeO₂ where (065) mol has successfully been prepared using solid state reaction method and sintered at 900°C. The crystalline phase of the powder samples was characterized using X-ray diffraction pattern. The diffraction patterns analysis indicated that the prepared samples were polycrystalline phase of B(PO₄), Mg(PO₃)₂and Mg(BO₃)(PO₄). The local structure network structure has been investigated using Infrared Spectroscopy using KBr method. The FT-Infrared spectra reveal the presence of B-O-B vibrations, BO₃ and BO₄ bridging oxygen and P-O stretching modes of P-O-P, P=O and PO₄ unit in the ceramics sample. Meanwhile, the luminescence properties of doped sample were measured based on analysis of emission spectra of photoluminescence spectroscopy. The emission peaks of Eu³⁺ doped sample were located at 593 nm, 613 nm, 652 nm, 685 nm due to the assigned transition ⁵D₀-⁷F_J ( J = 1, 2, 3, 4 )_. The Dy³⁺ emission is due to ⁴F_9/2 -⁵H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2-⁶H_13/2 transition. For Eu^3+/Dy³⁺ co-doped sample consists of peaks belonging to the ⁴F_9/2-⁶H_15/2 (482 nm) and ⁴F_9/2-⁶H_13/2 (573 nm) transition while red emission ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ transitions appears at 611 nm. Improvement in the optical properties due to co-doping may be useful to discover a new highly efficient luminescent material that are very useful in optical devices and solid-state lighting.
