Synthesis and characterization of lead and cadmium hexaborates doped with Cr3+
Abstract
Borates doped with transition metals (Mn, Cu, Cr) exhibit a significant and long-lasting luminescence at room temperature, high power, and other outstanding characteristics. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to establish the possibility of the formation of borate materials containing chromium and the determination of their structure and thermal properties.
New phases of variable composition were synthesized in the PbCd2–xB6O12:xCr3+ system by heterovalent substitution of Cd2+ions with Cr3+ ions using solid-phase reactions at 640 °C. The phases were isolated in the concentration range 0 ≤ x ≤ 7.0 mol % and characterized by X-ray phase analysis (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and IR spectroscopy. According to XRD and IR spectra, the resulting borates crystallize in a monoclinic cell and are assigned to one structural type (space group P21/n, Z = 4).
The crystallographic characteristics of the new phases have been determined. The crystal lattice parameters and their volumes decrease monotonically, indicating the formation of a continuous series of substitutional solid solutions in the studied concentration range. According to the DSC results, the sample PbCd2–xB6O12: 0.03 Cr3+melts incongruently at 729 °C
