High concentration Eu3+-doped NaYb(MoO4)2 multifunctional material: Thermometer and plant growth lamp matching phytochrome PR

摘要： Phytochromes PR and PFR are distributed in various organs of plant, phytochrome PR absorbs red light and phytochrome PFR absorbs far-red light, respectively, so the flower induction, etc. can be controlled by changing the ratio of red light to far-red light. The emission of Eu3+ (transition from 5D0/7F2) is located at the red range and matches with the absorption band of PR. Herein, we synthesized successfully NaYb(MoO4)2: Eu3+ phosphors with the high doping concentration (50%) by hydrothermal method with further calcinations. The LED device was also fabricated by the blue InGaN chip combined with the red phosphors NaYb(MoO4)2: 50%Eu3+ based on the excellent luminescent intensity. Moreover, the effect of temperature on the excitation intensity ratio of MoO4 2- to Eu3+ has also been studied, which provided the possibility of simultaneous luminescence and temperature measurement. This work is the first time to use Eu3+ as a red source matching PR, and the red phosphors have potential value to control plant growth.
