The photoluminescence, persistent luminescence and thermoluminescence properties of Mg(0.998-x)Mn0.002BixGeO3 (x = 0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02) were investigated. A Mn-Bi co-doped sample with x = 0.005 showed the most intense red persistent luminescence due to the Mn2+: T-4(2)->(6)A(1) transition peaked at 680 nm. The persistent luminescence intensity of the sample with x = 0.005 was 30 times higher than that of the Mn singly doped sample ( x = 0). All Mn-Bi co-doped samples showed an additional glow peak at approximately 320 K. From the continuous decrease of Bi3+ luminescence intensity in storage process by UV light, it was suggested that Bi itself functions as an electron- trapping center. We proposed an energy level diagram which explains red persistent mechanism in MgGeO3:Mn-Bi. (C)2014 Optical Society of America
