Notes:
In order to improve the color purity of YBO3:Eu, which is practically used as a plasma phosphor, the lowering of the structural symmetry is proposed and subsequently realized in nanosized YBO3:Eu so as to increase the contribution of 5D0–7F2 transition of the luminescent centers, Eu3+ ions. Spherical YBO3:Eu nanocrystals were fabricated via thermal decomposition of complex precursors and could be crystallized at lower temperature than required by the bulks. The particle size could be controlled by adjusting the annealing temperature and time. Unlike the bulk YBO3:Eu synthesized by solid-state reaction, the quenching concentration increased with the decrease of the particle size. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity and color purity were significantly improved in nanocrystals. Possible mechanisms responsible for these improvements were proposed. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
