Photoconductivity and luminescence in lanthanum oxysulfide

Abstract: Rare-earth doped crystals of lanthanum oxysulfide were found to exhibit strong photoconductivity which increases rapidly with temperature. Correlation of photoconductivity to luminescence spectra of La2O2S : Eu shows that thermal quenching of the luminous emission from 5D states leads to the production of photocarriers, the majority of which are most likely holes. Special features of La2O2S : Eu photoconductivity indicate the important role which the charge-transfer states play in the luminescence mechanisms.

“…6 In fact, Dobrov and Buchanan observed strong photoconductivity in europium-doped lanthanum oxysulfide, where they confirmed that the majority of photocarriers were most likely holes (p type͒. 7 It is thought that this hole conductivity occurs in peculiar sulfur planes. Further experiments and theoretical calculations should be performed in order to verify the above speculation, however.…”

“…With the increase of heated temperature, the slightly increase of TL intensity may be due to black body radiation [25]. A weak TL peaks at around 110 1C in the single Eu 3+ doped Y 2 O 2 S may be due to the localized electrons states of Eu 3+ in Y 2 O 2 S matrix, which has excited states close to the conduction band (about 0.23 eV) to allow its electron to be photoionized into the conduction band [26]. Similar study on the photoionization of the localized electric states for Er 3+ in Y 2 O 3 host has reported by Jia et al [27,28].…”
