Abstract
Through the method of conventional high-temperature melting, Ce3+/Eu3+doped GeO2-SiO2-BaO-Al2O3 (GSBA) glasses were fabricated. Photoluminescence spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, absorption spectrum, fluorescence attenuation time and CIE color coordinates were tested to investigate the optical properties and structure of glass. Using the formula of Dexter's energy transfer, the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu3+ was studied. The band gap as well as spacing between rare earth ion were obtained by theoretical calculation. The results show that the optimal cerium ion concentration of the Ce3+ doped and Ce3+/Eu3+ co-doped GSBA glass was consistent, which is 0.3 mol%. For the samples only doped with Ce3+, there has no significant changes of glass structure with increasing Ce3+ concentration, and multiple ligands of [GeO4], [GeO6], [SiO4], [SiO4]&[GeO4], [AlO4] and [AlO6] co-existed in glass structure. It is proved that there is energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu3+ and the form of energy transmission is electric quadrupole-quadrupole transfer. What's noteworthy is that in Ce3+/Eu3+ double-doped glass, the prepared glass material can emit white light through changing the doped concentration of Eu3+ ion, and color temperature is all below 3300 K, which proves the application potential of Ce3+/Eu3+ co-doped germanosilicate glass in the field of warm white LED.
