Cationic Effects on Photo- and X-ray Radioluminescence of K₃RE(PO₄)₂:Ce³⁺/Pr³⁺ (RE = La, Gd, and Y) Phosphors toward X-ray Detection

Cationic tuning for lanthanide (Ce³⁺/Pr³⁺)-activated inorganic phosphors with stable, efficient, and fast-decay 5d-4f emissions has emerged as an important strategy toward the continuing pursuit of superior scintillators. The in-depth understanding of the cationic effects on photo- and radioluminescence of lanthanides Ce...

Site Occupancies, VUV-UV-vis Photoluminescence, and X-ray Radioluminescence of Eu²⁺-Doped RbBaPO₄

RbBaPO4:Eu2+ phosphors have been prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction method, and the structure was determined by Rietveld refinement based on powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) data. Their VUV-UV-vis photoluminescence properties are systematically investigated with three objectives: (1) based on low-temperature spectra, we...

Impacts of 5d electron binding energy and electron-phonon coupling on luminescence of Ce ³⁺ in Li ₆ Y(BO ₃ ) ₃

In this work, the crystal structure and electronic structure as well as the synchrotron radiation vacuum ultraviolet-ultraviolet-visible (VUV-UV-vis) luminescence properties of Li ₆ Y(BO ₃ ) ₃ (LYBO):Ce ³⁺ phosphors were investigated in detail. The Rietveld refinement and DFT calculation reveal the...
