ABSTRACT
This article reports on the luminescence properties of rare earth (Dy3+ and Tm3+ )ions doped SrGa2 Si2 O8 phosphor were studied. SrGa2 Si2 O8 phosphors weresynthesizedby employing solid state reaction method.From the measured X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the samplemonoclinic phase structure has been observed. Thermoluminescenceand Mechanoluminescence properties of the γ-ray irradiated samples have been studied. Photoluminescence spectra of Dy3+ activated SrGa2 Si2 O8 phosphor has been measured with an excitation wavelength at 348 nm,and it shows two emission bands at 483 and 574 nm due to 4 F9/2 â 6 H15/2 and 4 F9/2 â 6 H13/2 transitions respectively. Whereas the photoluminescence spectra of Tm3+ activated SrGa2 Si2 O8 phosphor has been measured with an excitation wavelength at 359 nm and it exhibits two emission bands at 454 and 472 nm due to 1 D2 â 3 F4 and1 G4 â 3 H6 transitions respectively. In thermoluminescence study, γ-irradiatedthermoluminescence glow curve of SrGa2 Si2 O8 :Dy3+ phosphor shows two well defined peaks at 293 °C (peak1)and 170 °C (peak2) whereas thermoluminescence glow curve of SrGa2 Si2 O8 :Tm3+ phosphor shows peaks at 292 °C (peak1) and 184 °C (peak2) indicating that two sets of traps are being activated within the particular temperature range and the trapping parameters associated with the prominent glow peaks of SrGa2 Si2 O8 :Dy3+ and SrGa2 Si2 O8 :Tm3+ are calculated using Chen's peak shape and initial rise method.From the Mechanoluminescence study, only one glow peak has been observed.

This article reports on the optical properties of 0.5% mol of Sm(3+), Dy(3+) ion-doped B2O3-TeO2-Li2O-AlF3 (LiAlFBT) glasses. The glass samples were characterized by optical absorption and emission spectra. Judd-Ofelt theory was applied to analyze the optical absorption spectra and calculate the intensity parameters and radiative properties of the emission transitions. The emission spectra of Sm(3+) and Dy(3+):LiAlFBT glasses showed a bright reddish-orange emission at 598 nm ((4)G5/2 â (6)H7/2) and an intense yellow emission at 574 nm ((4)F9/2 â (6)H13/2), respectively. Full width at half maximum (FWHM), stimulated emission cross section, gain bandwidth and optical gain values were also calculated to extend the applications of the Sm(3+) and Dy(3+):LiAlFBT glasses.

Rare-earth (Sm3+ or Dy3+) ions doped cadmium lithium boro tellurite glasses have been prepared by melt quenching method for their spectral studies. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns the glass amorphous nature has been confirmed. Vis-NIR absorption, excitation and emission spectra of these glasses have been analyzed systematically and also rare earth ion concentration is optimised Sm3+: CLiBT glasses have shown strong orange-reddish emission at 598 nm (4G5/2-->6H7/2) with an excitation wavelength lambda(exci) = 401 nm and Dy3+: CLiBT glasses have shown strong yellow emission at 574 nm (6F9/2-->6H13/2) with lambda(exci) = 451 nm.
ABSTRACT
Rare earth ions (Eu(3+) or Tb(3+) )-activated Ca(3) Ga(2) Si(3) O(12) (CaGaSi) phosphors were synthesized by using a sol-gel method. Photoluminescence spectra of Eu(3+):CaGaSi phosphors exhibited five emission bands at 578, 592, 612, 652 and 701 nm, which were assigned to the transitions ((5)D(0) â (7)F(0), (7)F(1,)(7)F(2), (7)F(3) and (7)F(4)), respectively, with an excitation wavelength of λ(exci) = 392 nm. Among these, the transition (5) D(0) â (7) F(2) (612 nm) displayed bright red emission. In the case of Tb(3+):CaGaSi phosphors, four emission bands were observed at 488 ((5)D(4) â (7)F(6)), 543 ((5)D(4) â (7)F(5)), 584 ((5)D(4) â (7)F(4)) and 614 nm ((5)D(4) â (7) F(3) ) from the measurement of PL spectra with λ(exci) = 376 nm. Among these, the transition (5)D(4) â (7) F(5) at 543 nm displayed bright green emission. The structure and morphology of the phosphors were studied from the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) results.

In case of Tb(3+):glasses, four emission transitions ((5)D(4)â(7)F(6,)(7)F(5), (7)F(4) and (7)F(3)) are observed at 488 nm, 543 nm, 584 nm and 614 nm, respectively, with λ(exci)=376 nm. Decay curves and energy level diagrams have been plotted to evaluate the life times and to analyze the emission mechanism.
