Abstract
- Abstract: Ceramic samples with nominal compositions of (Ca1− x Sr x )0.9Pr0.001Zn0.099TiO3 (x =0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) were prepared by a mixed oxide method. When examined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the samples revealed a main CaTiO3 phase with small amounts of a second Zn2TiO4 phase. All of the ceramic samples emitted red phosphorescent light at about 613nm when excited by light of a wide wavelength range (200nm to about 500nm). The partial substitution of Sr for Ca, up to approximately 10at%, significantly enhanced the phosphorescence intensity and lifetime. The long lasting phosphorescence could be observed with naked eyes in dark room for more than 10min in both air and water at room temperature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
