Luminescent properties and stability of europium ions in Ca2BO3Cl:Eu

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the luminescent properties of Eu2+ and Eu3+ in the calcium chloride borate Ca2BO3Cl under optical and synchrotron excitation. The results demonstrate that a reductant should be present during synthesis in order to stabilize Eu2+ in Ca2BO3Cl and provide insight into the factors responsible for the long-wavelength position of the luminescence band (λmax = 577 nm) and the relatively low Eu2+ stability in Ca2BO3Cl.
