Abstract

Li1+xSr0.99PO4:Eu-0.01 (x = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5) phosphors are prepared using glucose with a modi fied sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence and X-ray absorption spectroscopy are used to characterize the structural and optical behaviour of the phosphors. LSPOE powders have been successfully synthesized by sol-gel route and con firmed by XRD. A variation in lithium stoichiometry does not contribute to signi ficant changes in structural properties, as probed by XRD. The samples have a partially spherical morphology with a high degree of particle agglomeration. The emission intensity of Eu3+ varies with the increase in Li+ content, in agreement with the variation of the symmetric factor. This behaviour veri fies that the Eu3+ ion is in a site of low symmetry. The X-ray absorption near edge structure results reveal that the reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ is induced by ionising radiation and the intensity of the X-ray excited optical luminescence emission is inversely proportional to the concentration of lithium.
