Stabilization of Metastable Nano-Size β-Zn2SiO4:Mn Emitting Yellow Luminescence in Silica Glass
Abstract:
We report a simple process of stabilizing metastable β-Zn2SiO4:Mn nanocrystals in amorphous silica. Zn and Mn ions were incorporated in mesoporous silica by immersing aqueous solution of Mn2+ and Zn2+, and the mesoporous silica was sintered at 1000-1100oC in reducing atmosphere. β-Zn2SiO4:Mn were formed along with α-Zn2SiO4:Mn in sintered mesoporous silica when diameter of pore is as small as 2.4nm. Due to the formation of β-Zn2SiO4:Mn, photoluminescence (PL) spectra exhibited both green and yellow emission originated from α-and β-Zn2SiO4:Mn, respectively. Relative intensity of the two emission was changed by changing heat treatment time and temperature. These results imply that this simple process is promising to stabilize nanocrystal of β-Zn2SiO4:Mn emitting yellow luminescence.
