Effect of Compositions, Crystal Structures and Morphologies on Photo-Luminescent Property of LaPO4:Gd3+

Article Preview

Abstract:

Various LaPO4:Gd3+ samples were synthesized by the hydrothermal method under different conditions to investigate the influence of crystalline structures, compositions and morphologies on the photo-luminescence. The compositions, crystal structures and morphologies were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photo-luminescence emission spectrum (PL). The results revealed that the emission intensity of LaPO4:Gd3+ reached the maximum value as the mass percentage concentration of Gd3+ ions ascended to 3%. Monoclinic LaPO4:Gd3+ had stronger emission intensity than hexagonal sample which had more zeolitic water, higher symmetry and lower crystallinity. The nanospheres which dispersed better and had higher uniformity and surface atom fraction had the stronger PL intensity than the nanorods. It has been found that the La0.97Gd0.03PO4, which was prepared under the condition of pH=1, T=20 °C and excess PO43-, performed the best PL property after heat treatment at 900 °C for 4h.
