[Rapid synthesis and fluorescent spectra of the phosphor CaS:Eu2+ in a microwave field].

In this paper, the phosphors with CaS as the host and doped with Eu2+ ion were synthesized in a microwave field at the first time. The influence of the different concentrations of Eu2+ ion on fluorescent properties of the phosphors CaS:Eu2+ was discussed. The experimental results of SEM show that the crystallite structures of the CaS:Eu2+ with different shapes (such as cubic, spherical and rod) and different crystal sizes (100-1,500 nm), for example, nano-scale, submicron-scale or micron-scale can be obtained when doping different concentrations of Eu2+ ion. The fluorescent intensity of the sphere phosphor CaS:Eu2+ is the strongest under the excitation at 254 nm.
