▎ 摘  要

The gadolinium, gallium, aluminum garnet doped with cerium and co-doped with dysprosium ions were prepared using sol gel method. The SEM images show that after synthesis, the grains are below 100 nm. The powders were ultrasonically mixed with graphene nanoflakes and ceramics were prepared using the high pressure low temperature sintering technique. A series of the ceramics was prepared using different graphene content. The structure of the samples was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman techniques. The spectroscopic properties were checked using conventional and persistent luminescence spectra measurements. The thermoluminescence glow curves and fading time of persistent luminescence measurements were performed to check how the graphene presence affects the electron traps number and depth. It was found that the addition of graphene improved the thermal conductivity of co-doped samples. This resulted in faster release of deeper traps and an increase in fading of persistent luminescence. The possibility of releasing energy from deep traps without additional stimulation may allow the use in different applications, the matrices and luminescent ions, which so far did not show persistent luminescence at room temperature.
