Luminescence investigation of red-emitting Sr2MgMoO6:Eu3+ phosphor for visualization of latent fingerprint
Fingerprints are widely studied due to their unique shape and lifelong properties. The latent fingerprint (LFP) visualization is critical in identifying crime scenes and personal information. At present, the powder dusting method for LFP detection is favored due to its environmental friendliness and nontoxicity. However, this method has low resolution, low sensitivity, and large background interference. To address these shortcomings, the red-emitting Sr2MgMoO6:xEu(3+) (x = 0-0.50) phosphors were synthesized using the solid-state reaction process. The products were systematically studied through the structural phase, luminescent property, decay curve, and color purity. Sr2MgMoO6:xEu(3+) phosphors were monitored at 596 nm and exhibited a commendable broad excitation band between 250 and 475 nm. This result indicated that the disadvantage of the poor absorption of commercial red phosphors (Y2O2S:Eu3+) in the near ultraviolet region was overcome. Under excitation at 393 nm, the synthesized Sr2MgMoO6:Eu3+ phosphor exhibited intense red light at 596 and 616 nm, due to the D-5(0) -> F-7(1) and D-5(0) -> F-7(2) transitions of Eu3+ ions. The optimal concentration for the Sr2MgMoO6:xEu(3+) phosphor was x = 20 mol%, and the concentration quenching effect was ascribed to the dipole-dipole interaction. The Commission International del'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of Sr2MgMoO6:Eu(3+)were (0.643, 0.356), and the color purity was 99.8%. Furthermore, the fluorescent LFP images developed by (SrMgMoO6)-Mg-2:0.20Eu(3+) phosphors were well visualized, and level 1-3 details were well identified with high resolution, contrast, sensitivity, and selectivity. The obtained results suggested that the (SrMgMoO6)-Mg-2:Eu3+ phosphor can be applied for LFP detection. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
