Abstract

A series of Dy3+ doped Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT: xDy3+, x = 0.003–0.018) lead-free ferroelectric ceramics were successfully prepared by a solid-state reaction method. The Dy3+ ions composition dependent photoluminescence properties were systematically studied. All the samples display intense characteristic emission of Dy3+ under an excitation wavelength of 454 nm, which are attributed to the transitions of 4F9/2 → 6HJ/2 (J = 13, 11 and 9). All the samples show strong orange-yellow emission, which could be applied to warm white light hopefully. When the content of Dy3+ is equal to 0.012, the ceramic has the optimal luminous performance. Remarkable thermal quenching of the luminous intensity ceramic occurs as the temperature is higher than initial temperature 293 K. Furthermore, Dy3+ activated photoluminescence performance combined with the presence of ferroelectricity in the NBT host can be applied to developing non-contact optical temperature sensitive materials and other future novel optoelectronic devices.
