Abstract
Cerium(III) doped PbWO 4 micro-crystals with different doping contents were synthesized via a facile wet chemical method in air atmosphere at room temperature. X-ray diffraction patterns of as-synthesized powders revealed that these micro-crystals were pure scheelite PbWO 4, without any impurities such as Ce 2(WO 4) 3 and PbO, and Ce 3+ could enter into Pb 2+ sites, which would induce the formation of lead vacancies in the PbWO 4 crystal lattice. The UV–vis diffuse reflection spectra, Raman spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of doped and pure PbWO 4 micro-crystals were studied in detail, which indicated that optical properties of doped PbWO 4 were greatly changed. The adsorption edge of Ce(III)-doped PbWO 4 micro-crystals would shift toward high wavelength (red-shift) with gradually increasing Ce 3+ doping concentration. It shows an obvious decrease in blue emission band which made the shape of the whole emission band remodeled with the Ce 3+ doping.
