ABSTRACT
Praseodymium ion, Pr3+ doped
Gd2O2S nanophosphors were
successfully synthesized via gamma irradiation route along with the heat
treatment. The effect of the gamma irradiation (0-150 kGy) on the structural,
morphology and photoluminescence properties of Gd2O2S:Pr3+ were
characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning
electron microscope (FESEM) and photoluminescence
spectroscopy (PL). The thermal properties of precursor sample were
tested by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The chemical bonding of
the precursor samples were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(FT-IR).
The XRD result confirmed the formation of hexagonal phase of
Gd2O2S:Pr3+ without
the presence of any impurities. The FESEM inspection showed the non-symmetrical
shape of particles transformed into grain-like shape. The optimum
photoluminescence (PL) emission intensities of Gd2-xO2S:xPr3+ occur
at 50 kGy dose of gamma irradiation and 2 mol% concentration dopant of Pr3+ ions.
The spectra under 325 nm UV excitation shows a strong green
emission at 515 nm, which match the 3P0 → 3H4 transition
of Pr3+ ions. The Gd2O2S:Pr3+ nanophosphors
possessed many useful approaches in various applications mainly as radiation
detection and biomedical diagnostic.

ABSTRAK
Nanofosfor Gd2O2S
didop ion praseodimium, Pr3+ berjaya
disintesis melalui kaedah penyinaran gama bersama dengan rawatan haba. Kesan
penyinaran gama (0-150 kGy) terhadap sifat struktur, morfologi dan
kefotopendarcahayaan Gd2O2S:Pr3+ dicirikan
melalui alat pembelauan sinar-X (XRD), mikroskop imbasan
pancaran medan elektron (FESEM) dan spektroskopi
kefotopendarcahayaan (PL). Sifat terma sampel pelopor diuji
oleh analisis termogravimetrik (TGA) dan analisis pembezaan
terma (DTA). Ikatan kimia sampel pelopor dianalisis oleh
spektroskopi inframerah transformasi Fourier (FT-IR).
Keputusan XRD mengesahkan pembentukan fasa heksagon Gd2O2S:Pr3+ tanpa
kehadiran sebarang bendasing. Pemeriksaan FESEM mendedahkan
bentuk zarah tak simetri berubah menjadi bentuk seakan bijian. Keamatan
pemancaran kefotopendarcahayaan (PL) yang optimum Gd2-xO2S:xPr3+ adalah
pada dos terserap 50 kGy dan 2 mol% kepekatan dop ion Pr3+.
Spektrum bawah pengujaan UV 325 nm menunjukkan pancaran hijau
yang kuat pada 515 nm sepadan dengan peralihan 3P0 → 3H4 oleh
ion Pr3+. Nanofosfor Gd2O2S:Pr3+ memiliki
banyak pendekatan yang berguna dalam pelbagai aplikasi terutamanya sebagai
pengesanan sinaran dan diagnostik bioperubatan.
Kata kunci: Dop praseodimium; Gadolinium oksisulfid; penyinaran gama
