Abstract
We report the photoluminescence (PL) of Eu3+-doped glass with Bi3+ as a sensitizer. The specific glass system with the strong enhancement of the red emission of Eu3+ is obtained by adding a small number of Bi3+ ions instead of increasing the Eu3+ concentration. The emission band of Bi3+ overlaps with the excitation band of Eu3+ and the lifetime decay curves, resulting in a very efficient energy transfer from Bi3+ to Eu3+. The probability of energy transfer is strongly dependent on Bi3+ concentration. In addition, the intensity of 4f–4f transition is much stronger than that of a charge-transfer (CT) band in the excitation spectrum, which indicates that the Na2O—CaO—GeO2-SiO2 glass is a suitable red-emitting phosphor with high stability as a candidate for light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
