Abstract

In this study, $Eu^{2+}$ ion was used as an activator in order to enhance the PL(photoluminescene) and PSL(photostimulated luminescence) intensity of $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba)phosphors and the chracteristics of PL and PSL of the phosphors were investigated. The emission of $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba) phosphors shows a shift wavelength when the host caution changes. The optimal preparing conditions of $CaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5 mol% of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $745^{\circ}C$, 45 min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $CaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $365{\sim}388\;nm$, peaking at 370 and 380 nm. The optimal preparing conditions of $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5 mol% of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $905^{\circ}C$, 45 min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $370{\sim}460\;nm$, peaking at 398 nm. The optimal preparing conditions of $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5mol% of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $840^{\circ}C$, 45min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $380{\sim}440\;nm$, peaking at 407 nm. The dose response of the $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(0.5 mol%)(M = Ba, Sr) phosphors were linear within $0.25{\sim}200\;mGy$ of 100 kV X-ray and the PSL intensity of the $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ and $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors faded to approximately 60 and 40% respectively after 120 min at room temperature.

염화알칼리토금속화합물에 Eu 이온을 첨가하여 $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba) 형광체를 제조하고, 제조된 형광체의 광발광(photoluminescene) 및 광자극발광(photostimulated luminescence ; PSL) 특성을 조사하였다. $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba)형광체의 광발광 및 광자극발광 파장은 주 모체의 양이온의 종류에 따라 조금씩 이동하였다. $CaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 최적 제조조건은 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온의 농도가 0.5 mol%, 소결온도와 시간은 각각 $745^{\circ}C$, 45분이었으며, 이때 발광파장범위는 $365{\sim}388\;nm$, 피이크파장은 370 및 380 nm이었다. $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 최적 제조조건은 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온의 농도가 0.5 mol%, 소결온도와 시간은 각각 $905^{\circ}C$, 45분이었으며, 이때 발광파장범위는 $370{\sim}460\;nm$, 피이크파장은 398 nm이었다. $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 최적조건은 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온의 농도가 0.5 mol%, 소결온도와 시간은 각각 $840^{\circ}C$, 45분이었으며, 발광파장영역은 $380{\sim}440\;nm$, 피이크파장은 407 nm이었다. $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(0.5 mol%)(M = Ba, Sr) 형광체는 약 $0.25{\sim}200\;mGy$까지 선량 범위에서 선형성을 나타내었으며, 상온에서 $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ (0.5 mol%) 및 $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ (0.5mol%) 형광체의 광자극발광 강도는 상온에서 120분간 각각 60%, 40% 감쇠하였다.
