Abstract:
Ca0.95Sr0.05ScBO4 phosphor co-doped with Bi3+ and Sm3+ was successfully synthesized using the conventional high-temperature solid-state method. The Phase Structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and luminescent properties were investigated through excitation and emission spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime measurements, and thermal stability analysis. XRD analysis indicates that the Primary crystal structure of the phosphor is CaScBO4. The doping of appropriate amounts of Sr2+, Bi3+and Sm3+ ions has not changed the Primary crystal structure of the phosphor. XPS analysis confirmed that Bi3+and Sm3+ ions successfully doping into the matrix material. Energy transfer from Bi3+ to Sm3+ occurs within the phosphor, energy transfer efficiency is 15.452%. When the temperature was raised from 298 K to 473 K, the relative intensity of the emission peak at 473 K decreased to 49.937% of that at room temperature, This indicates that the phosphor possesses relatively stable thermal stability. Studies on the temperature-sensitive properties of the samples reveal a marked difference in the luminescence thermal quenching trends between Sm3+ and Bi3+. The FIR between the two increases with rising temperature. Rendering it suitable for temperature characteristics. Within the temperature range of 298-473 K, both SR and SA exhibit a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the rise of temperature. At 448 K, it achieves a maximum relative sensitivity of 0.233% K-1. Upon calculation, its activation energy is determined to be 0.333 eV. These results demonstrate the superior temperature stability of this phosphor sample.
