Abstract

Background: Luminescence glass is a potential candidate for developing white light emitting diode (W-LED) due to its good rare earth ion solubility, efficient luminescence, easy fabrication and good mold ability. Pr3+ ion has various visible emission bands from blue to red spectral region, and has attracted considerable attention for potential application to LEDs, ultraviolet laser, and scintillator. The Dy3+ ions can exhibit emission in blue and greenish-yellow (4F9/2→6H15/2, 13/2 transitions of Dy3+) spectral regions under excitation at near UV (ultraviolet). It is possible to obtain white luminescence if Pr3+ ions and Dy3+ ions can be excited simultaneous, due to their multiple luminescence in the visible region.

Methods: The Pr, Dy doped ZnSiCa glass samples were prepared by the conventional melting quenching procedure. The XRD, absorption spectra, emission spectra, and ICP-OES measurements were performed to investigate the properties of the materials.

Results: The Pr and Dy co-doped ZnSiCa glasses under 443 nm excitation show emission band peaking at about 483 nm, 575 nm and 670 nm / 676 nm. The glass samples exhibit chromaticity coordinates in the white light region in the CIE 1931 diagram, with a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) at about 7000 K.

Conclusion: Pr, Dy codoped ZnSiCa glass samples show chromaticity coordinates in the white light region in the CIE 1931 diagram, with a CCT at about 7000 K. It is suggested that the Pr, Dy codoped ZnSiCa glasses might be considered as promising candidates for white light emitting sources.

Keywords: White light, Pr ions, Dy ions, ZnSiCa glass, absorption spectra, emission spectra.
