X선 검출기를 위해 특수용매 액상법으로 합성한 Gd2O3:Eu의 Europium(Eu) 함량에 따른 입자특성과 발광특성의 분석

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구에서는 알코올과 증류수를 특정비율로 혼합한 특수용매를 사용하여 합성한 Gd2O3:Eu 나노 분말이 Europium(Eu)함량에 따라 어떤 입자특성과 발광특성을 가지게 되는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 액상법에 사용된 이 용매는 Gadolinium(Gd)과 Europium(Eu)의 용해되는 시간을 현저히 줄임으로써, 실험시간이 단축됨을 확 인하였다. 이번 실험에서 Gd2O3:Eu 나노 powder 형광체의 입자특성은 SEM(scanning electron microscope)과 EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray)를 사용하였으며, 나노 powder의 발광특성은 PL(Photoluminescence), CL(CathodeLuminescence)을 사용하여 측정하였다. 결정들은 30nm∼40nm의 크기의 결정을 가졌고 발광특성 은 약 620nm의 특정 파장에서 크게 반응함을 알 수 있었으며, Europium(Eu)함량이 1wt%에서 3wt%, 5wt% 로 늘어날수록 Photon의 count가 증가하게 되어 발광효율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the particle properties and luminescence properties of Gd2O3 nano powder with various Eu content were studied. Gd2O3:Eu nano powder was fabricated using special solvent which mixed the alcohol and the distilled water at specific ratio. This solvent by the solution method showed short fabrication time because solution time of Gd and Eu was reduced. From this experiment with Gd2O3:Eu, the particle properties og nano powder phosphor way analysed using SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray). Also the luminescence properties of nano powder was measured using PL(Photoluminescence) and CL (CathodeLuminescence). The size of powder was 30nm~40nm. The magnitude of powder showed the best peak at 620nm. Among 1,3,5wt% of Eu content, the more Eu content was added in powder, the more photons wre generated. Also it shows luminescence efficiency was improved adding 5% of Eu content.
