Luminescent properties and dosimetric behavior of Eu-ion-doped ASO4 (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba)

초록

We investigated the luminescence properties and dosimetric behavior of Eu-ion-doped ASO4 (A = Ca, Sr, or Ba) phosphors synthesized using the coprecipitation method. Structural analysis of the phosphors was performed using X-ray diffraction patterns, which revealed that the prepared samples exhibited a pure phase with diffraction peaks matching those of undoped orthorhombic structures. The luminescence properties of the phosphors were examined by measuring photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra. We found that both Eu2+ and Eu3+ emissions were detected for A = Ba and Ca, whereas only Eu2+ emission was observed for A = Sr. Further, time-resolved photoluminescence decay curves indicate the presence of Eu2+ and Eu3+ luminescence with different lifetimes. The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) responses of the samples were investigated. The OSL and TL responses were found to vary linearly with the irradiation dose. This study sheds light on the potential applications of Eu-ion-doped ASO4 phosphors in radiation dosimetry and optoelectronic devices.
