Luminescence Property of SrAl2O4:Eu2+ Powder Prepared by the Polymerized Complex Method

The phosphorescence powder, $SrA1_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, synthesized by a Polymerized Complex Method(PCM), has been compared with that by a Solid-State Reaction(SSR), and their luminescence characteristics have been studied. The PCM powders were synthesized at $900^{\circ}C$ and the SSR powders at $1200^{\circ}C$. The size of PCM powders was about $0.1{\mu}m$ and one tenth of that of the SSR powders, which was due to the lower synthesized temperature. On the other hand, residual carbon in the PCM powders decreased with an increase in the crystallinity of host lattice, which was responsible for the non-white color of the powders. Both powders showed the maximum luminescence peaks around 520nm in the wave length at room temperature. However, the peak position for the PCM powders was shifted to a slightly lower wavelength and the value of half-width of the peak was broad comparing to that of the SSR powders, and the peak intensity decreased significantly. Such a change in the luminescence characteristics was due to the large difference in size for two types of powders and partly the residual carbon in the PCM powders.

착체중합법으로 합성한 SrAl2O4:Eu2+ 분말의 형광특성

착체중합법을 이용하여 $SrA1_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ 인광체 분말을 합성하고 분말특성과 발광특성을 고상반응법으로 제조한 것과 비교하였다. 착체중합법에서는 $SrA1_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$분말이 $900^{\circ}C$에서, 고상반응법에서는 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 합성되었다. 착체중합법으로 합성한 분말은 합성온도가 낮은 만큼 크기가 약 $0.1{\mu}m$로 고상반응에 의한 것의 1/10정도였으나, 탄소가 잔류하여 모상격자의 결정도가 낮아지고 순백색이 되지 못하였다. 두 분말 모두 상온에서 520nm 부근에서 최대 발광 피크를 나타냈으나, 착체중합법으로 합성한 분말이 약간 낮은 파장대에서 최대 피크를 보였으며 피크의 반가폭은 약간 크고 강도는 크게 감소하였다. 이러한 발광 특성의 변화는 주로 입경의 차이에 의한 것이나 잔류탄소도 영향을 미친 것으로 사료되었다.
