Abstract

$SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized by skull melting method. The molar ratio of oxides in the phosphors synthesized by the skull melting technique was $SrCO_3$ : $Al(OH)_3$ : $Eu_2O_3$ : $Dy_2O_3$= 1 : 2 : 0.015 : 0.02. Crystal structure and surface morphology were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Optical properties of the synthesized $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ were measured by photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer for in-depth study on the excitation, emission and afterglow properties. From the PL measurements, it was found that excitation occurred in the wavelength range from 300 to 420 nm with peak position at 360 nm. The emission spectrum showed a broad curve in the wavelength from 450 to 600 nm with peak position at 530 nm. $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphors exhibited afterglow properties with emission that lasted for a long period.

스컬용융법으로 $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ 형광체 합성을 하였으며, 합성한 형광체의 산화물 몰비는 $SrCO_3$ : $Al(OH)_3$ : $Eu_2O_3$ : $Dy_2O_3$= 1 : 2 : 0.015 : 0.02였다. 결정구조 및 표면 형상은 X-선 회절분석과 주사전자현미경으로 규명하였다. 합성한 $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$의 광학적 특성인 여기, 발광 및 장잔광 특성의 심도 있는 연구를 위해 PL(photoluminescence) 분광계로 측정하였다. PL 측정을 통해 360 nm 영역에서 여기(excitation)되고, 300~420 nm의 파장까지 여기가 일어남을 확인하였다. 발광(emission)스펙트럼은 450~600 nm의 파장에서 폭넓은 스펙트럼을 보였으며, 530 nm에서 최대 발광파장을 나타내었다. $SrAl_2O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ 형광체는 오랜 시간 동안 발광하는 장잔광 특성을 나타내었다.
