摘要：Ce3+/Dy3+/Tb3+/Eu3+/Mn2+and Cr3+ions co-doped Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10 phosphor were prepared by a hightemperature solid-state method.X-ray diffraction patterns prove the cubic phase structure of prepared Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10 phosphor,Emission,excitation spectra and decay curves confirm the tunable luminescence.Different degrees of the decrease of emission FWHM in Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,RE(RE=Ce3+,Dy3+,Tb3+,Eu3+)and Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,Mn2+are observed.The reason of variable FWHM is the effect of crystal field splitting and nephelauxetic effect,and the nephelauxetic effect is dominant.Therefore,the emission FWHM decreases with the increasing concentration of Mn2+/Tb3+/Eu3+in Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,and for Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,Ce3+and Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,Dy3+,it is a constant.The variation of Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,Tb3+is more obvious than that of Zn3 Al2 Ge2 O10:0.02 Cr3+,Eu3+,because Tb3+ion has smaller electronegativity.Thus,the tunable luminescence of Cr3+can be realized by co-doping different ions.And these phosphors have potential applications in light-emitting diodes for plant growth.
