Abstract

Stably luminescent strontium aluminates (SAO) co-doped with Eu2+ and Dy3+ were synthesized by a solid-state reaction for digital optical data storage applications. The SAOs were composed of monoclinic SrAl2O4 and hexagonal SrAl12O19 in nearly identical composition ratios. The substitution of Dy3+ for Sr2+ decreased the high binding energy components of Sr 3d and Al 2p while decreasing the phosphor luminescence. However, co-doping with Dy3+ improved the persistent luminescence of Eu2+. When the phosphor was heated to 110°C, the luminescence intensity decreased by only 10.6%. Further, no change in the emission color was noted when the phosphor was placed in water and heated at 50°C for 20 min. The luminescence intensity of the phosphor changed with the switching of the optical stimulation; the higher the switching frequency, the better the optical storage performance. This indicates the promise of the polymorph SAO:Eu2+, Dy3+ for digital optical data storage applications utilizing near-infrared excitation.
