| Annotation | The luminescence properties of double-doped with Eu2 + and Ce3 + ions Ca3Sc2Si3O12 have been studied for the first time. The Eu2 + ions in Ca3Sc2Si3O12 exhibit a NIR emission with a maximum at about 840 nm, which is located in the highest spectral response region of c-Si photovoltaic solar cells. Upon the introduction of Ce3 + ions into the lattice the Ce3 + 4f → 5d band at 445 nm appears in the excitation spectra for the Eu2 + NIR emission, indicating to the presence of energy transfer between Ce3 + and Eu2 + ions. The co-doping with Ce3 + ions is also followed by local distortions of the Eu2 + environment and inhomogeneous broadening of the Eu2 +-related spectral bands. It was found that the relative intensity of the higher-energy Eu2+ 4f7 → 4f65d excitation band at 360 nm decreases with the increase of Ce3 + concentration. This unusual observation is ascribed to photoionization of Eu2 + ions, electron trapping on defects and subsequent non-radiative relaxation. |
