Abstract

Preparation and spectroscopic studies of the TiO2 nanopowders doped with Eu3+ ions are described. Efficient emission in the red part of the visible spectrum can be obtained due to the 5D07F2 emission of europium ions. Quantum efficiency of such emission was estimated to be about 0.83, which indicates a rather weak role of the non-radiative losses. However, the increase of Eu3+ concentration up to 10 at% significantly lowers the quantum efficiency because of the energy transfer and re-absorption processes. Higher doping concentrations (larger than 3 at% of Eu3+) also decrease the covalency of the Eu3+O2- chemical bonds.
