Excitation-Controlled Host-Guest Multicolor Luminescence in Lanthanide-Doped Calcium Zirconate for Information Encryption.

ABSTRACT: Efficient control over lanthanide luminescence by regulating excitations offers a real-time and reversible luminescence-managing strategy, which is of great importance and highly desirable for various applications, including multicolor display and information encryption. Herein, we studied the crystal structure, luminescence properties, and mechanisms of undoped and Tb³⁺/Eu³⁺-doped CaZrO₃ in detail. The intrinsic purple-blue luminescence from host CaZrO₃ and the introduced green/red luminescence from guest dopants Tb³⁺/Eu³⁺ were found to have different excitation mechanisms and, therefore, different excitation wavelength ranges. This enables the regulation of luminescent color through controlling the excitation wavelengths o
