    Comparison of thermoluminescence characteristics of undoped and europium doped YAl3(BO3)4 phosphor synthesized by combustion method: Anomalous heating rate, dose response and kinetic analyses
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Kaynar, Umit H.; Oglakci, M.; Bulcar, K.; Benourdja, S.; Bakr, M.; Ayvacikli, M.; Canimoglu, A.
    In this study, undoped and YAl3(BO3)(4) phosphors doped with Eu3+ at varying concentrations (x = 0.5 to 7 wt%) produced by a combustion process have been thoroughly examined by using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoluminescence (TL) techniques. The crystallized phosphors were confirmed by XRD analysis, and its crystal structure was examined. XRD analyses of the synthesized phosphor is in accordance with ICSD File No 96-152-6006. TL glow curve of undoped sample produced three glow peaks located at 80 degrees C, 240 degrees C, and 360 degrees C with a heating rate of 2 degrees Cs-1 whilst Eu3+ doped one appears at 90 degrees C, 230 degrees C, and 390 degrees C. The undoped example complied with the theory as expected, namely, as the heating rate increased, the TL glow curve shifted towards lower temperatures and decreased in intensity. However, an anomalous change was observed in the sample with Eu3+ additive. The experimental findings from the dose-response of YAl3(BO3)(4):0.5 wt%Eu3+ demonstrate that the intensity of TL provided by the total area under glow curves has an acceptable linearity (r(2):0.999) up to 100 Gy. The intensity of each maximum on the TL glow curve augments proportionally as the heating rate is augmented. Possible reasons of this behaviour are discussed. Various heating rate (VHR) methods (such as Hoogenstraaten's and Booth-Bohun-Parfianovitch) have also been used to estimate kinetic parameters (e.g., energy and frequency factor), which seem to be in good agreement with each other.

    Doping Sm3+ into ZnB2O4 phosphors and their structural and cathodoluminescence properties
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2018) Kucuk, N.; Bulcar, K.; Dogan, T.; Garcia Guinea, J.; Portakal, Z. G.; Karabulut, Y.; Can, N.
    In this study, ZnB2O4:xSm(3+) (0.01 <= x <= 0.05 mol) powder phosphors have been synthesized by low temperature chemical synthesis method. The structure and morphological observation of the phosphor samples were systematically monitored by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The all diffraction peaks are well assigned to standard data card (PDF#39-1126). Emission properties of the samples were explored using light emission induced by an electron beam (i.e cathodoluminescence, CL) at room temperature (RT). When excited with electron beam, CL spectral measurements of scrutinized phosphors exhibit orange-red luminescence at 572 nm, 606 nm and 658 nm due to various transition from ground state to H-6(5/2),H-6(7/2) and (4)G(5/2) states, respectively. The transition (4)G(5/2) -> H-6(7/2) located at 606 nm can occur as hypersensitive transition having the selection rule Delta J = +/- 1. The observed peaks are in the region of yellow reddish light of Sm3+. Experimental results verify that the optimum Sm3+ content in terms of intense luminescence for this series of phosphors was 2%. Beyond 2% of Sm3+ ions concentration, luminescence quenching occurs due to an enhanced probability of the energy transfer from one Sm3+ to another that matches in energy via cross-relaxation and dipole-dipole interactions according to Dexter theory. A suitable energy transfer model between two adjacent Sm3+ ions in the ZnB2O4 phosphors was accomplished by the electric dipole-dipole interaction. The critical transfer distance (R-c) for non-radiative energy transfer was found to be 21.52 angstrom at 2 mol % Sm3+ doped ZnB2O4. Additionally, thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves of undoped and Sm activated ZnB2O4 under beta irradiation of 10 Gy are also discussed here. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Tb-doped MgAl2O4 phosphors: A study of structural and luminescence characteristics
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Halefoglu, Y. Z.; Souadi, G.; Ayvacikli, M.; Bulcar, K.; Topaksu, M.; Canimoglu, A.; Madkhali, O.
    In the MgO-Al2O3 system, magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) is a technologically significant compound due to its unique properties, including a high melting point, low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance, chemical inertness, and robust mechanical strength. This compound has diverse applications in re-fractory materials, catalyst supports, moisture sensors, nuclear techniques, insulating materials, and even mili-tary applications. While rare-earth elements are commonly used as dopants in luminescent materials, limited research exists on doping of Tb3+ ions in magnesium aluminate. This study investigates the luminescence properties of Tb3+ doped synthesis magnesium aluminate materials, shedding light on this underexplored area. The combustion method is employed for synthesis, known for producing nano-sized powders with exceptional luminescent properties. Additionally, this study explores Sm3+ ion doping in magnesium aluminate materials and their luminescence properties. Using the combustion synthesis method, structural attributes of Tb3+-doped MgAl2O4 nanophosphors are meticulously examined. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses, coupled with excitation and emission spectra, a comprehensive investigation of the luminescent provide behavior at room temperature is provided. The XRD data reveal Tb3+ doped MgAl2O4 phosphors exhibit a single phase with face centred cubic structure belonging to the Fd3 m space group, consistent with the standard JCPDS files (No. 21-1152). Excitation and emission spectra offer valuable insights into the energy transitions within the Tb3+-doped MgAl2O4 phosphors. Furthermore, the study explores the effects of varying Tb3+ ion concentrations on the luminescent properties, revealing an optimal doping concentration of 5 wt% Tb for maximizing emission intensity. Concentration quenching, primarily attributed to dipole-dipole (d-q) interactions, is observed at higher Sm3+ concentrations. In conclusion, this research enhances our understanding of rare-earth ion doping in luminescent materials and highlights the potential applications of Tb3+-doped MgAl2O4 nanophosphors, which offer promise for various technological applications, including lighting and displays.
