Abstract
Doping chemistry has become one of the most effective means of tuning materials' properties for diverse applications. In particular for scheelite-type CaWO4, high-oxidation-state doping is extremely important, since one may expand the scheelite family and further create prospective candidates for novel applications and/or useful spectral signatures for nuclear forensics. However, the chemistry associated with high-valence doping in scheelite-type CaWO4 is far from understanding. In this work, a series of scheelite-based materials (Ca1-x-y-zEuxKy□z)WO4 (□ represents the cation vacancy of the Ca2+ site) were synthesized by hydrothermal conditions and solid-state methods and comparatively studied. For the bulk prepared by the solid-state method, occupation of high-oxidation-state Eu3+ at the Ca2+ sites of CaWO4 is followed by doping of the low-oxidation-state K+ at a nearly equivalent molar amount. The Eu3+ local symmetry is thus varied from the original S4 point group symmetry to C2v point group symmetry. Surprisingly different from the cases in bulk, for the nanoscale counterparts prepared by hydrothermal conditions, the high-oxidation-state Eu3+ was incorporated in CaWO4 at two distinct sites, and its amount is higher than that of the low-oxidation-state K+ even though KOH was used as a mineralizer, creating a certain amount of cation vacancies. Consequently, an apparent split emission of 5D0 → 7F0 was first demonstrated for (Ca1-x-y-zEuxKy□z)WO4. The doping chemistry of high oxidation states uncovered in this work not only provides an explanation for the commonly observed spectral changes in rare-earth-ion-modified scheelite structures, but also points out an advanced direction that can guide the design and synthesis of novel functional oxides by solution chemistry routes.

LUMINESCENCE 2020; 36:237-246. [PMID: 32841473 DOI: 10.1002/bio.3941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
(Ca1-x Eux )WO4 (x = 0-21 mol%) phosphors were prepared using the classical solid-state reaction method. The influence of Eu3+ ion doping on lattice structure was observed using powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, under this influence, the luminescence properties of all samples were analyzed. The results clearly illustrated that the element europium was successfully incorporated into the CaWO4 lattice with a scheelite structure in the form of a Eu3+ ion, which introduced a slight lattice distortion into the CaWO4 matrix. These lattice distortions had no effect on phase purity, but had regular effects on the intrinsic luminescence of the matrix and the f-f excitation transitions of Eu3+ activators. When the Eu3+ concentration was increased to 21 mol%, a local luminescence centre of [WO4 ]2- groups was detected in the matrix and manifested as the decay curves of [WO4 ]2- groups and luminescence changed from single exponential to double exponential fitting. Furthermore, the excitation transitions of Eu3+ between different energy levels (such as 7 F0 →5 L6 , 7 F0 →5 D2 ) also produced interesting changes. Based on analysis of photoluminescence spectra and the chromaticity coordinates in this study, it could be verified that the nonreversing energy transfer of [WO4 ]2- →Eu3+ was efficient and incomplete.
