A novel germanate based orange emitting long persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphor: K4CaGe3O9(KCGO):Mn2+,Yb3+ has been successfully synthesized by the solid-state reaction. The special nano structures of KCGO:Mn2+ and KCGO:Mn2+,Yb3+ were indicated by transmission electron microscope (TEM) images that block particles of these samples and consists of many irregular spherical nano-particles and the size of these spherical particles is less than 10 nm. This special nano structure exist many defects and could provide precondition for the PersL properties of KCGO:Mn2+. Furthermore, after co-doping with Yb3+, the PersL properties have been effectively improved due to the new traps with high concentration caused by the nonequivalent substitution of Yb3+. With the optimum doping concentration and sufficient excitation with UV light, the after glow of KCGO:0.02Mn2+,0.015Yb3+ can persist over 5 h above the recognizable intensity level (0.32 mcd/m2). Both fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra of KCGO:Mn2+,Yb3+ exhibit only one broad emission band, which belongs to the 4T1(G)-6A1(S) transitions of Mn2+. In addition, with the help of thermoluminescence (TL) curves, the processes and possible mechanism are studied and discussed. Recent Publications 1. Xufeng Zhou et al.
