Abstract
A new structure o
f YAG:7%Tb 3+ nano fiber s/PVP flexible luminescent nano fiber s has been successfully fabricated via
electrospinning technology. Electrospun YAG:7%Tb 3+ nano fiber s a re respectively incorporated into polyvinyl pyrrolidone
(PVP) matrix and electrospun into flexib le luminescent nano fiber s named as YAG:7%Tb 3+ nano fiber s/PVP flexible nano fiber s.
The mean diameter of the flexible nanofibers is ca. 294±37.52 nm The emission peaks of Tb 3+ are observed under the
excitation of 274 nm ultraviolet light and ascribed to the energy levels transitions of 5 D 4
5 F 6 (4 89 nm), 5 D 4
5 F 5 (544 nm),
7 D 4
5 F 4 (5 90 nm) and 5 D 4
7 F 3 (624 nm) of Tb 3+ ions , and the 5 D 4
5 F 5 energy levels transition at 544 nm is the
predominant emission peak. The luminescent characteristics of obtained the flexi ble nanofibers can be tun ed by adding
various amounts of YAG:7%Tb 3+ nanofibers. The possible formation mechanism of YAG:7%Tb 3+ nano fiber s/PVP flexible
luminescent nano fiber s is also proposed. The YAG:7%Tb 3+ nanofibers are encapsulated in the PVP nanofibers which is
expected to be used in biomedical field. The design conception and construction technology are of universal significance to
fabricate other flexible nanofiber s..
