The influence of auxiliary codopants on persistent phosphor Sr{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 7}:Eu{sup 2+},R{sup 3+} (R = Y, La, Ce, Gd, Tb and Lu)
Graphical abstract: Rare earth ions which close to the line are good codopants. - Highlights: • The persistent luminescence in Sr{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 7}:Eu{sup 2+},R{sup 3+} was reported. • Sr{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 7}:Eu{sup 2+},Lu{sup 3+} shows the best performance. • The influence of auxiliary codopants was discussed in terms of ionic potential and ionic radius. - Abstract: We investigate the persistent luminescence in europium-doped strontium pyrophosphate upon codoping with auxiliary rare earth ions. The persistent phosphors are synthesized via solid-state reaction method under flowing N{sub 2} + H{sub 2}. Under UV irradiation, broadband emission persistent luminescence located at 420 nm is observed in all of these phosphors at room temperature. The effects of auxiliary rare earth ions on Sr{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 7}:Eu{sup 2+} are discussed according to the decay curves and thermoluminescence spectra. Sr{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 7}:Eu{sup 2+},Lu{sup 3+} shows the best performance, while and La{sup 3+} and Ce{sup 3+} codoped samples are the weakest. The influence of auxiliary codopants is discussed in terms of ionic potential and ionic radius. We derive an empirical formula based on the experimental results.
