Photo and Cathodoluminescence in Cerium-Activated Yttrium-Aluminium Borates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2011
Abstract
Ce3+ luminescence in Ce-activated yttrium aluminium borates was studied. Photoluminescnece was excited by continuous-wave UV or by pulse laser irradiation. Cathodoluminescence was excited at the acceleration voltage in the range 5 to 600 V. These phosphors show under continuous wave UV excitation three emission peaks: in near UV, deep blue and light blue ranges. The light blue peak at around 490 nm which may be connected to forbidden 2D3/2 → 2F7/2 transition appears in continuous wave-excited photoluminescence only and does not appear in cathodoluminescence nor under pulse excitation. The blue-emitting Ce- activated yttrium aluminium borates exhibit unusually strong activator ion-host lattice interaction. As a result a substantial red shift in the emission is induced by Ce concentration increase and complicated concentration dependence of the emission intensity is observed.
