Electron capture is luminous to be the recombination luminescence phenomenon that produces because of in electronics in the material and the hole transition process.
Existing electron capture luminous material is mainly barium fluochloride and the rare earth doped activator europium of strontium sulfide calcium; After the former absorbs the X ray energy; Release is luminous down in red laser irradiation, and it is good radioscopic image storage medium, but it can't realize the sensitive excitation luminescence to invisible near-infrared laser; Chinese patent 85100247,01142151.7 is to this existing announcement.The latter adds rare-earth activated dose of europium, samarium with strontium sulfide, sulfurated lime and is the main body; This luminescent material can sensitivity be realized the excitation luminescence to near-infrared laser; But its not enough place is prone to deliquescence; And stability and life-span are relatively poor, the preparation that in Chinese patent 200710023804.3,200610103418.0 grades, has disclosed its red illuminating material.When said material to little when having the luminous 808nm wavelength laser of red color visible and detecting; The reddish orange of himself sending luminous with exciting light in red light to mix be a place; Can't realize effective resolution; Practical ranges property receives very big restriction, like the commercially available prod trade mark HT582 of Shanghai Ke Run photoelectricity technology corporation, Ltd., HT612.
Existing in addition near-infrared laser is surveyed up-conversion luminescent material, is to be master's luminescent material with the rare-earth system material, and it has and excites and the narrow characteristics of emmission spectrum; Chinese patent 96122293.X, Chinese patent 01138927.3, Chinese patent 01138920.6; US5541012; US7648648 etc. have set forth its preparation method, and its not enough place can't realize extensive near infrared light wave band is surveyed, like commercially available prod trade mark HT111.
The luminescent material that with ZnS is matrix is the luminescent material of common widespread use; As: electroluminescent material, long afterglow luminous material, CRT luminescent material etc.; Usually near infrared light luminously has serious quenching effect, Chinese patent 96I21255.1,96247084.8 existing explanations to it.
To above problem, the present invention adds and contains Pb, Cu activator in the ZnS substrate material; Prepare electron capture luminous material through behind the high temperature sintering, it has satisfactory stability property, behind ultraviolet ray or radiation of visible light; It absorbs storage power, and keeps for a long time, after the infrared excitation irradiation; It is luminous that it produces HS release, realizes that invisible infrared rays is had high sensitivity detection, under infrared rays 800-2000nm excitation, produces green or orange luminescence.
The present invention has changed above-mentioned disadvantageous effect, and it is luminous that ZnS material itself can be produced through infrared excitation, has enlarged this material system range of application.
Electron capture luminous material of the present invention can be used for invisible near infrared light is surveyed, follows the tracks of, proofreads, discerned.Can be widely used in the material technical fields of learning such as near-infrared laser detection, laser facula demonstration, opticfiber communication indication, optical information storage, x-ray image processing, imagine infra-red more.
