Luminescence Properties of Bi3+-doped Sr3B2O6.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the photoluminescence properties of Bi³⁺-activated Sr₃B₂O₆. Pure Sr₃B₂O₆ and Bi³⁺-doped Sr₃B₂O₆ were synthesized by a solution combustion method. The phase and photoluminescence analyses of the borates that were synthesized were determined by using X-ray diffraction and a spectrofluorometer respectively at room temperature. It was observed that the synthesized Bi³⁺-doped Sr₃B₂O₆ emitted blue light (441 nm) upon excitation with 366 nm. Finally, the Stokes shift of Sr₃B₂O₆:Bi³⁺ was calculated and found to be 4646 cm^–1.
