研究目的
Investigating the growth and optical properties of SrI2 and SrI2:Eu crystals using the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) method, with a focus on optimizing crystal quality through temperature field design.
研究成果
The study successfully grew high-quality SrI2 and SrI2:Eu5% crystals using the EFG method by designing an appropriate temperature gradient. The optical properties of the crystals were characterized, showing a single luminescence peak at 435 nm with a decay time of 0.594 ls. The temperature field design also provides a reference for growing other crystals by the EFG method.
研究不足
The study is limited by the sensitivity of SrI2:Eu to moisture and oxygen, which complicates processing and limits the use of crystals. Additionally, the actual Eu2+ concentration in the grown crystal was less than the intended 5% due to segregation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The EFG method was selected for growing SrI2 and SrI2:Eu5% crystals, focusing on temperature field design to optimize crystal quality.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Starting materials were SrI2 (
3:99%) and EuI2 (99%). List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The system included an ampule, furnace, glove box, and vacuum pump. A platinum wire was used for seeding.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Raw materials were mixed in a quartz ampoule, evacuated, sealed, and placed in a furnace with argon as a protective atmosphere. The temperature was increased to ~540°C, and seeds were obtained by rotating and pulling a platinum wire.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD analysis and fluorescence spectra were obtained using an x-ray diffractometer and a spectrophotometer, respectively.
