Luminescence properties of alkali europium double tungstates and molybdates AEuM/sub 2/O/sub 8/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The luminescence properties of AEuW/sub 2/O/sub 8/ and AEuMo/sub 2/O/sub 8/ (A/sup +/ = alkali metal ion) are reported. These properties depend on the crystal structure type. Vibronic coupling between the electronic transitions of the Eu/sup 3 +/ ion and the vibrational transitions of the tungstate of molybdate group is observed. The concentration quenching of the Eu/sup 3 +/ luminescence is weak. The analysis of the Eu/sup 3 +/ decay curves points to energy migration and shows the two-dimensionality of the Eu/sup 3 +/ sublattice in KEuMo/sub 2/O/sub 8/ and the one-dimensionality of the Eu/sup 3 +/ sublattice in KEuW/sub 2/O/sub 8/ and RbEuW/sub 2/O/sub 8/.
