Crystal structure, morphology and luminescent properties of rare earth ion-doped SrHPO4 nanomaterials

Undoped and rare earth ions (Eu3+, Ce3+, Tb3+) doped β-SrHPO4 nanomaterials were successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology and luminescent properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission...

Summary:Undoped and rare earth ions (Eu3+, Ce3+, Tb3+) doped β-SrHPO4 nanomaterials were successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology and luminescent properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectra and lumi- nescence decay curves. The results indicated that the tmdoped and rare earth ions doped SrHPO4 nanomaterials (the doping concen- tration was not above 7%) were well crystallized, with the same crystal structure (~-SrHPO4). Nevertheless, the doping of rare earth ions could lead to the changing of morphology from nanoflakes to nanocrystals. Under the excitation of UV light, rare earth ions (Eu3+, Ce3+, Tb3+) doped I3-SrHPO4 nanocrystals exhibited the characteristic emission of Eu3+, Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions, respectively. The luminescence decay curves of [3-SrHPO4:Eu3+ and D-SrHPO4:Ce3+,Th3+ nanocrystals conformed to the double exponential fluores- cence decay, and the average lifetimes were 1.14 and 4.12 ms, respectively. The luminescence decay curve of 13-SrHPO4:Ce3+ was fitted into a single exponential function, and the lifetime was about 0.78 ns.
