Фотолюминесценция композиций полиметилметакрилат/(Zn, Cu, Ag)S : Eu-=SUP=-3+-=/SUP=-

Luminescent nanoscale particles (quantum dots) (Zn,Cu,Ag)S:Eu3+ were synthesized during decomposition of thioacetamide complexes of metals in a methylmethacrylate medium during block polymerization under heating. The formation of quantum dots is confirmed by the corresponding band in the optical absorption spectrum of polymer compositions. Photoluminescence of PMMA/(Zn,Cu,Ag)S:Eu3+ compositions is manifested as a complex band associated with defects in the crystal structure formed when ZnS was doped with copper and silver ions, and a set of narrow bands of luminescence of Eu3+ ions. Luminescence excitation occurs as a result of inter-zone transitions and electron transitions from the valence band to the ZnS defect levels, and self-absorption of energy by Eu3+ ions. The relationship of ions Eu3+ particles of ZnS is confirmed by the dependence of the intensity of the broadband luminescence of ZnS with increasing concentration of ions Eu3+ and an increase in intensity narrow-band luminescence of ions Eu3+ as a result of energy transfer from levels of doped ZnS crystals on the energy levels of the ions Eu3+.
