Abstract

A range of Y₄GeO₈:Sm³⁺ phosphors featuring varying Sm³⁺ concentrations has been synthesized via high-temperature solid-state reaction method. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the crystalline structure of these phosphors was examined, confirming the purity of the Y₄GeO₈:Sm³⁺ phase. To study the concentration quenching and luminescence thermal stability of the Y₄GeO₈:Sm³⁺ phosphors, fluorescence spectroscopy was employed. Applying Van Uitert's model, it was demonstrated that the quadrupole–quadrupole interaction facilitates energy transfer among Sm³⁺ ions. Further insights into temperature-dependent fluorescence were gained, revealing that the Arrhenius-based crossover process accurately portrays the thermal quenching behavior of the ⁴G_5/2 level for Sm³⁺ in Y₄GeO₈ powders. Lastly, leveraging the diffuse-diffraction spectrum and fluorescence decay curve, the optical transition characteristics of Sm³⁺ in the examined Y₄GeO₈ phosphors were analyzed in accordance with Judd-Ofelt theory.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid. We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
