Si4+-doped BaZr(BO3)2:Eu3+ phosphors are prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction.The influence of Si4+ addition on the charge transfer state of Eu3+-O2- and photoluminescence(PL) properties of BaZr(BO3)2:Eu3+ are discussed.Room temperature PL spectra indicated that efficient emission is obtained by Si doping.Increased values for the peak-peak ratio(PPR) of BaZr(BO3)2:Eu3+ at higher Si doping concentrations implied that the Eu3+ ion is located in a more asymmetric environment in BaZr0.8Si0.2(BO3)2:Eu3+ than in the undoped samples.The Judd-Ofelt parameters Ωλ(λ=2,4) were calculated from the PL data,giving results that were consistent with those from the PPR.The maximum radiative quantum efficiency was achieved at a Si doping concentration of 20 mol%.

PbS quantum dots were prepared in the aqueous medium from readily available precursors. The shape of the particles isapproximately spherical, and the average particle size observed from HRTEM image was 7-8 nm. We applied PbS quantumdots and PMMA polymer to fabricate PbS quantum dots-PMMA composites, and investigate the photoluminescence PbSquantum dots in PMMA matrix with different mass ratio. PbS quantum dots in PMMA matrix have broad emission be-tween 900 nm and 1 500 nm and photoluminescence peak at 1 179 nm. Additionally, the photoluminescence intensityincreases with increasing the dopant concentration. PbS quantum dots-PMMA polymer composites can be potentially usedfor polymer optical fiber and electroluminescence (EL) in optical communication.

A large amount of one-dimensional ZnO nanorods with diameters in 15―50 nm aligned in radial cluster were successfully synthesized by polar polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as soft-template. The growth of ZnO nanorods was controlled by changing annealing temperature. The evolution of the morphology and microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron micro- scope and X-ray diffraction. It is shown that ZnO nanorods tend to be uniform and the crystallization is gradually improved with the temperature increasing from 400℃ to 700℃. The photoluminescence spectra of products show a strong ultra violet emission and relatively weak defect emissions. The sharp strong emission peak at 354 nm owing to the inter-band transition indicates the extraordinary photoluminescence property of ZnO nanorods.

High-efficient Tb^3＋ activated SrAl2O4 phosphor was synthesized by a combined combustion-solid-state reaction method. The precursor of SrAl2O4：Th^3＋ phosphor was prepared via a combustion process, and then the as-prepared powder was heated in a reductive ambient of activated carbon at 1250 ℃ for 1 h. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectra revealed the influence of the dosage of urea and heated process on the crystallinity, morphology, and photoluminescence of the phosphor. Comparing with traditional solid-sate reaction, the crystallinity and emission intensity of the SrAl2O4：Tb^3＋ phosphor were improved by this two-step process.
