A Novel Tick Film Nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu3+ Phosphor Synthesized by Post-Dispersion Treatment at Low Temperature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
In this study, a novel thick film nanocrystalline phosphor is synthesized by using postdispersion treatment at low temperature. The post-dispersion treatment is to prevent the agglomeration between the precursors by mixing the organic dispersing agent with them before heat-treatment. The mean size of the particle heat-treated at 500°C is 4nm. Also, europium is uniformly distributed in the yttrium oxide with deviation below 0.5%. The nanocrystalline phosphor is principally composed of cubic structure having preferred orientation of <222>, <440>, and <400>. The photoluminescence properties of the nanocrystalline phosphor characterized with monochrometric systems reveals that the main PL peak is detected at 611 nm, and thick film nanocrystalline phosphor with 15wt% europium exhibits better properties.
