title: [Luminescence properties of thenardite activated with Dy3+ under vacuum ultraviolet excitation].
abstract: Na2SO4: Dy3+ phosphors were prepared by heating pure natural thenardite (Na2SO4) with DyF3 at 900 degrees C for 25 min in air studied the Luminescence properties of Na2SO4: Dy3+ were studied by synchrotron radiation. Their photoluminescence (PL) spectra were also investigated under vacuum ultraviolet-ultraviolet (VUV-UV) at room temperature. According to the emission spectra, the yellow-blue ratio (Y/B) is different under different concentrations of Dy3+ and the position of excitation. And the excitation spectrum is consisted of strong bands assigned to the 4f9-->4f8 5d transition at 172 nm, the O(2-)- Tm3+ charge transfer band at 165 nm and weak bands assigned to host absorption (138, 245 nm) and the 6 H15/2-->4D7/2, 6H15/2-->6P3/2, and 6H15/2-->6P7/2 transition at 299, 325 and 351 nm respectively.
