Er^(3+)and Yb^(3+)co-doped CaBi_(2)Ta_(2)O_(9)(CBT)-based bismuth layered-structure oxides were synthesized by a simple solid-state reaction method.Their up-conversion(UC)luminescence,dielectric and ferroelectric properties were investigated.Two strong green emission bands centered at 526 and 547nm and a weak red emission band centered at 658nm were obtained under a 980nm laser excitation at room temperature.These emission bands originated from the radiative relaxation of Er^(3+)from 2H_(11)=2,4S_(3)=2,and 4F_(9/2) levels to the ground state 4I_(15)=2,respectively.At the meantime,the fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)variation of two green UC emissions at 526 and 547nm has been studied as a function of temperature in the range of 153–603K.The maximum sensor sensitivity obtained was 39×10^(-4)K^(-1) at 590K,which indicated that Er^(3+)=Yb^(3+)co-doped CBT ceramic is a promising candidate for applications in optical high temperature sensor.

Pr^(3+)-doped CaAl_(2)O_(4) phosphors with broad yellow emission were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction in air and their structural and luminescent properties were investigated.A pure monoclinic structure can be obtained when the sintering temperature is 1400℃ or above.With photoluminescence(PL)measurement,the excitation was observed at 450–500 nm,which covered the emission of the blue light-emitting diode(LED)chips.Emission of the phosphors showed a green band and a red band.So these phosphors showed great potential in application of warm white LEDs without reabsorption.Additionally,the optimal emission intensity was obtained when Pr doping level was at 0.2 mol%.Furthermore,the Pr-doped CaAl_(2)O_(4) phosphors have the higher quenching temperature.With an increase in temperature,the emission bands of Pr-doped CaAl_(2)O_(4) showed an abnormal blue-shift.

采用传统的固相烧结法,制备了Na0.5Ho0.5-xYbxBi4Ti4O15铋层状结构陶瓷.经X射线衍射（XRD）表征,新合成材料为单相结构,且扫描电子显微镜下的表面和断面图像均为层状,说明合成材料为新型铋层状材料.室温时,在可见光波长范围内,有2个峰,分别为546 nm处的绿光峰和656 nm处的红光峰,分别对应于Ho3＋离子的5F4＋5S2→5I8和5F5→5I8跃迁.为研究其机理,测试了变功率条件下的发光强度,经计算,绿光和红光发射均为双光子过程.研究陶瓷样品在变温（-130~270°C）条件下的发光性能时,发现红光与绿光的强度比值与温度呈线性关系,该材料有望应用于光学温度传感器领域.经介电性能测试发现当Ho：Yb=1：9时,样品的居里温度为686.4°C.研究铁电性能发现当Ho：Yb=3：2时,剩余极化Pr为9.3μC/cm2,矫顽场强为Ec=82 k V/cm,表明具有一定的铁电性能.以上研究结果表明,制得的新材料是一种具有优异光学性能的多功能材料.
