Abstract

To develop efficient luminescence and optical thermometry materials for color display and non-contact temperature measurement, novel RE3+ (RE = Eu, Sm) doped self-activated Na2LuMg2V3O12 phosphors were prepared by a typical solid-state reaction method. Their crystal structure, morphology, multi-color luminescence and temperature sensing properties were elaborately investigated. Under UV light excitation, an intense and broad green-yellow emission band from VO43– group is observed in the Na2LuMg2V3O12 matrix, indicating its potential application in solid state lighting. After the incorporation of Eu3+ and Sm3+ ions, efficient energy transfer (ET) from VO43– group to Eu3+/Sm3+ ions occurs and the emission color of the samples can be readily tuned among different color ranges. Besides, based on the change of luminescence intensity and lifetimes of VO43– group in Na2LuMg2V3O12:Eu3+ and Na2LuMg2V3O12:Sm3+, the ET efficiency was analyzed and the mechanism is illustrated. Finally, large discrepancy between the thermal stability of VO43– group and Eu3+/Sm3+ ions are observed in the temperature-dependent emission spectra of Na2LuMg2V3O12:Eu3+ and Na2LuMg2V3O12:Sm3+. By taking advantage of the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) between VO43– group and Eu3+/Sm3+ ions in Na2LuMg2V3O12:0.01Eu3+ and Na2LuMg2V3O12:0.07Sm3+, two new types of optical thermometry mediums were designed and their basic temperature sensing parameters were calculated.
