Description

We have studied the role of Ga3+ ions in SrTiO3:Pr,Ga phosphor through its aging behavior. At the early stage of electron irradiation with a charge dose rate of 100 μC/cm2 per second, the cathodoluminescence (CL) intensity of SrTiO3:Pr,Ga phosphor drops. On the other hand, it is found that SrTiO3:Pr,Ga phosphor shows different aging characteristics from SrTiO3:Pr as the electron irradiation proceeds. However, from a reduced beam current density irradiation with a charge dose rate of 1.2 μC/cm2 per second, it is determined that the Ga3+ ion acts as a hole-keeping center and increases the luminescence by providing a hole to the activator Pr3+ ion in the luminescence process.
