Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS
(1) Tb³⁺ doped Gd₂O₂S phosphors were prepared via the sulfur-melting method, and the impact of Tb³⁺ doping concentration on the fluorescence properties of Gd₂O₂S was studied.

(2) The rare earth ion La³⁺ was introduced to substitute the matrix ion Gd³⁺ in Gd₂O₂S, altering the crystal field environment surrounding Tb³⁺, effectively improved the fluorescence properties of Gd₂O₂S.

(3) The energy transfer mechanisms of Tb³⁺ and La³⁺ within the Gd₂O₂S matrix were explored, and the mechanism of action of rare earth ion doping on the Gd₂O₂S phosphor was analyzed.

ABSTRACT

The main focus of this article lies in the investigation of gadolinium oxysulfide. By using the sulfur melting technique, fluorescent powder was created, with doping ions Tb³⁺ and La³⁺ of rare earth integrated. Various methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction were employed to investigate how rare earth terbium and lanthanum doping impacts the lattice structure and luminescent capabilities of gadolinium oxysulfide. The experimental results indicate that the fluorescent powder has a pure hexagonal crystal structure. The luminescence intensity of the fluorescent powder reaches its maximum when the doping concentration of Tb³⁺ is 2mol%. When the La³⁺ doping concentration is 60mol%, the luminescence intensity is 1.9 times that of the undoped La³⁺ sample. Therefore, introducing rare earth Terbium and Lanthanum atoms can effectively improve the optical properties of fluorescent powders.
