Abstract

A new long persistent phosphors of $CaZrO_3$ was synthesized at high temperature with weak reduction atmosphere by a traditional solid state reaction method. Photoluminescence spectra analysis showed that the $CaZrO_3$ doped with $Tb^{3+}$ emitted green-yellow emission caused by the energy level transition from the $^5D_3$ and $^5D_4$ to $^7F_1{\sim}^7F_6$. The main emission spectra of 542 nm peak by the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_5$ transition was revealed through synthesizing at high temperature in $N_2$ gas atmosphere. The afterglow emission spectra of $CaZrO_3:Tb^{3+}$ long persistent phosphores arise at 546 nm peak of narrow range. After the 254 nm ultraviolet light excitation source was switched off, the green-yellow long persistent phosphor can be observed which could last for 8 h in the limit of light perception of dark-adapted human eyes ($0.32\;mcd/m^2$).

새로운 $CaZrO_3$, 축광성 형광체를 고온의 약한 환원 분위기에서 전통적인 고상반응법으로 합성하였다 광발광 분석 결과 $Tb^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가한 $CaZrO_3$ 축광성 형광체는 $^5D_3$, $^5D_4$ 에너지 준위에서 $^7F_1{\sim}^7F_6$ 준위로의 전이에 의해 황녹색의 발광을 나타내며, 고온의 질소분위기에서 합성한 경우의 축광성 형광체에 대한 스펙트럼의 주 피크는 $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_5$ 전이에 의한 542 nm의 발광 피크가 생성되었다. $CaZrO_3:Tb^{3+}$ 축광성 형광체의 잔광 발광 스펙트럼은 좁은 영역의 546 nm의 피크가 강하게 생성되었다 잔광 휘도는 254 nm 자외선을 조사하고 전원을 끈 후에 측정하였으며, 녹황색의 축광성 형광체가 사람이 어두운 곳에서 인지 가능한 $0.32\;mcd/m^2$까지 8시간 지속됨을 관찰하였다.
