| Abstract: The long-lasting phosphorescent materials, yttrium oxysulfides doped by Eu and Ti, were systhesized by coprecipitation with their subsequent thermal decomposition in the presence of sulphur. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM, phosphorescent spectra, and thermoluminescence. The XRD results indicate that the lowest synthesis temperature is 700 ℃. From the TEM, the average diameter of particles was in the range of 60～120 nm, and augmented with the increase of temperature. The materials under UV excitation presented well afterglow from the transition of 5D0,1 → 7FJ of Eu3+, and the persistent time was about 2 h. The long-lasting afterglow mechanism was discussed, too. |
