Abstract
The excellent long afterglow phosphor Sr 2MgSi 2O 7:Eu 2+,Dy 3+ with the blue light and (Sr,Ca)MgSi 2O 7:Eu 2+,Dy 3+ emitting blue–green afterglow for more than 20 h under the UV excitation were prepared. The trap states in the samples are studied by thermoluminescence (TL) and photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL). The results of TL and PSL exhibit plenty of traps which are responsible for the long afterglow. TL study shows that a broad band appears at 330 and 357 K for (Sr,Ca)MgSi 2O 7:Eu 2+,Dy 3+ with the thermal depth of trap E TL = 0.66 eV and for Sr 2MgSi 2O 7:Eu 2+,Dy 3+ with the thermal depth of trap E TL = 0.75 eV, respectively. PSL spectra reveals that the trapped carries also can be released by optical stimulation with the E PSL = 1.56–1.94 eV. The relation between TL and PSL can be explained by the configuration coordinate mode.
