Decoloration Mechanism of Double Doped Zinc Tungstate
The modification of zinc tungstate by doping rare earth elements is an effective way to improve its luminescent properties. The single crystal of zinc tungstate is rose red, the color makes the luminous efficiency decrease and the decoloration effect is obvious. After annealing for a long time, the ZnWo 4 crystal will disappear gradually, but the annealing of the bulk crystal still has difficulties which can not be overcome. The main problem is that the defect is incomplete and the defects are introduced into the annealing process. In single doped rare earth crystals, only cerium doped Ce 3+ can recede the color of the crystal, both doped cerium Ce 3+ and lithium li 3+ have obvious decoloration effect on zinc tungstate crystal, especially, the former can obtain colorless crystal by proper doping. The removal mechanism of zinc tungstate may be due to the decomposition of CO 2 in Li 2 CO 3 crystals, CO 2 molecules will be partially retained...
