Randomized trial investigates photoluminescence and scintillator properties in Eu3+-doped glasses, suggesting their potential for photonic devices.
Key Points
This research aims to investigate how varying concentrations of Eu3+ ions affect the luminescence and scintillation properties of specific glass compositions.
Eu3+-doped glasses were synthesized using melt-quenching with varying concentrations of Eu2O3 (0 to 2.0 mol%)
Photoluminescence and scintillation properties were evaluated via absorption spectra and emission analyses under UV excitation
Chromaticity and X-ray induced luminescence were analyzed to confirm the emissions from Gd3+ and Eu3+ ions
Eu3+ ions produced intense red emission at 613 nm, indicating their hypersensitive characteristics.
Stable red emission had a color purity of approximately 94% and a correlated color temperature around 2600 K.
X-ray luminescence confirmed emissions at 311 nm from Gd3+ and 613 nm from Eu3+, showcasing the material's scintillation potential.
