Luminescence investigation of Dy2O2S and Dy2O2SO4 obtained by thermal decomposition of sulfate hydrate

The yellow emitting dysprosium oxysulfide (Dy2O2S) and dysprosium oxysulfate (Dy2O2SO4) compounds were prepared from the thermal decomposition of hydrated dysprosium sulphate. The materials were characterized by using thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra...

Description
Summary:The yellow emitting dysprosium oxysulfide (Dy2O2S) and dysprosium oxysulfate (Dy2O2SO4) compounds were prepared from the thermal decomposition of hydrated dysprosium sulphate. The materials were characterized by using thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies. The thermal stability temperatures at around 1151 and 1313 K were determined for the Dy2O2S and Dy2O2SO4 materials, respectively. The photoluminescence properties of the dysprosium oxysulfide were investigated, showing narrow emission bands assigned to the 4F9/2→6HJ intraconfigurational transitions of the Dy3+ ion. The yellow emission color of this phosphor suggests that the Dy2O2S is a promising material for applications in LEDs. [Display omitted]
