KBr:Pr with a submicron rod structure is successfully synthesized by a solid-state reaction using absolute alcohol as the abrasive.X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,photoluminescence spectra and fluorescence decay curves are used to characterize the resulting materials.The influences of Pr^(3+)dopant concentration on the luminescence and lifetime are discussed.Furthermore,luminescent measurements show that KBr:Pr has a high emission intensity compared with other Pr-doped matrixes,which is related to the low phonon energy of KBr.The results suggest that the phonon energy of the host is important in determining the luminescent efficiency.
