초록
발화합성법으로 SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3) 축광성 형광체를 제조하여 발광특성과 축광특성을 조사하였다. 형광체 제조를 위한 전구체가 발화합성으로 얻은 나노크기의 미세분말이기 때문에 모체물질인 SrAl2O4의 단일상이 비교적 낮은 온도에서 형성되었으며, 공부활제의 사용여부와 상관없이 SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3)과 SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2)의 발광중심은 Eu(+2)로 동일하였다. 형광체 결정구조에서 공부활제인 Dy(+3)가 모체의 결정구조에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. 잔광의 강도와 잔광지속시간은 모체의 구성원소인 Sr과 Al이 부족한 조성의 형광체와 공부활제가 상대적으로 많이 포함된 형광체에서 크게 나타났다. SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3) 축광성형광체의 잔광특성은 공부활제인 Dy(+3)이온의 영향이 크게 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으나 공부활제가 상대적으로 많은 경우에 Dy3Al5O12와 같은 불순물의 생성으로 잔광시간이 감소하였다.
Long phosphorescent phosphors with various compositions, SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3) were prepared, and their emission and after-glow characteristics were investigated. Since precursors for preparing the phosphors obtained by a pyrophoric synthesis method were nano-sized fine particles, the single crystalline as phosphor host was formed at relatively low temperature, 850 ℃, and it was not dependent upon the existence of coactivator. The luminescence center of SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3) and SrAl2O4:Eu(+2) was mainly due to Eu(+2). Also, the effect of coactivator, Dy(+3), on the crystal structure of phosphor host, SrAl2O4, was negligible. The brightness and long after-glow of phosphors were seen in the crystals grown from Sr-poor, Al-poor, and heavily coactivator, Dy(+3), doped starting materials. It was identified that long after-glow characteristics of SrAl2O4 : Eu(+2), Dy(+3) were affected by the coactivator; in the case where coactivator was heavily doped, the long after-glow characteristics diminished due to formation of impurities such as Dy3Al5O12 during the heat treatment.
