Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of a phosphor with anti-Stokes luminescence, a security ink with a phosphor with anti-Stokes luminescence, a method and a device for checking a document and a document with a security feature.
- Luminescence is always due to a transition from an electron from an energetically higher state to an unoccupied, lower energy state.
- the present case is about photo-luminescence, i. the electron is brought into the upper state by optical excitation.
- the spectral center of gravity of the emission spectrum is generally long-wavelength of the excitation wavelength (Stokes rule).
- the spectral centroid of the emission spectrum is shorter wavelength (ie, higher energy) than the excitation wavelength. This is possible if (at least) two light quanta of the exciting light arrive more or less simultaneously; the first quantum of light raises an electron, and the second quantum of light raises the same electron again, so that it has more energy than any single photon of the exciting light.
- Erbium (Er) is well suited for anti-Stokes luminescence.
- an activator is necessary, especially favorable is ytterbium (Yb).
- Yb is activated by a quantum of light and transfers its energy to an adjacent Er atom. This gets into a relatively stable meta-state. If the Yb atom is activated again during the time when the Er atom is in this meta state Once again, it can transfer its energy again to the Er atom, so that the electron of the Er atom has been raised twice and thus has a higher energy than any single stimulating light quantum. If this electron returns to the ground state, a light quantum with higher energy (ie shorter wavelength) is emitted (anti-Stokes luminescence).
- the energy given off by the Yb does not correspond exactly to the energy required by the Er atom; it is too large in the second increase of the electron of the Er atom. The excess energy must absorb the crystal lattice.
- Oxisulfide as a crystal lattice, eg Y 2 O 2 S. These lattices strong anti-Stokes luminescence occurs.
- Fig. 2 of this document the emission spectrum of (La 0.79 Ybo , 2 oEr 0] oi) 2 ⁇ 2 S is shown. It is noticeable that there are two emission bands here, one at 540 nm (more precisely from 520 nm to 570 nm) and one at 670 nm (more precisely from 640 nm to 680 nm).
- the security element can consist of (Y 1 -xy Yb x Ho y ) 2 O 2 S admixed with (Y 1 -xy Yb x Er y ) 2 O 2S.
- This produces a peak triplet in the green region see Fig. 2, where this is indicated graphically), but this is likely to be difficult to detect in practice (see Fig. 1, in which the triplet is not resolved, and page 10) , Z 10-13 of this document).
- Possible applications are according to WO 2007/003531 banknotes, checks, credit cards, shares, passports, identity documents, driver's licenses, entrance tickets, tokens, tokens, labels, Packaging materials, packaging imprints, seals and the like.
- Such phosphors may also be used to identify branded goods such as clothing, shoes, textiles, household items, electronics and the like.
- Be used where they can then be mounted directly on the object or incorporated in those. Also returnable bottles come into question.
- Suitable printing methods are all customary in the production of security products or packaging materials printing method. These include offset printing, letterpress printing, offset coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, inkjet printing and gravure printing.
- the phosphors may also be added to the carrier material / substrate as additives, e.g. into the plastic material from which credit cards are made.
- the oxysulfide is not optimal in terms of stability, this applies both to the long-term stability and to the temperature stability.
- temperature stability is important if the security element is e.g. to be applied to a credit card which is then laminated. Also in the production of printing inks, temperature stability is often important.
- the object of the invention is thus to provide an alternative phosphor for the
- the security feature is intended to enable rapid detection in readers.
- Y 2 O 3 ie the oxide in contrast to Oxisulfid
- Y 2 O 3 ie the oxide
- Y 2 O 3 is also known as a suitable crystal lattice. It is however, it is also known that in this crystal lattice the anti-Stokes luminescence is significantly weaker than in the case of the oxysulfide. Therefore, compounds of the formula (Y 1 -xy Er x Yb y ) 2 O 3 have not hitherto been considered for use as security elements.
- these phosphors of the formula (Y 1-xy Er x Yb y ) 2 O 3 definitely have sufficient luminescence if x ⁇ 0.20 and y ⁇ 0.075, in particular if x ⁇ 0.15 and y ⁇ 0, 05 is.
- the luminescence is sufficient to be seen with the naked eye.
- a security ink with a phosphor with anti-Stokes luminescence in which the phosphor has the formula (Y 1-xy Yb x Er y ) 2 O 3 with x ⁇ 0.20 and y ⁇ 0.075 protected become.
- the phosphor is present in the form of nanoparticles, because not only is the luminescence favorably influenced, but also the printing is particularly well possible. For larger particles, neither sharp boundaries nor smooth (glossy) surfaces are possible. In addition, these nanoparticles are invisible (apart from their luminescence), so that the security feature is not visible in normal light.
- the two bands are within the visible range, so that colors from green to yellow and orange to red are possible. In this way a visual control without measuring devices is possible.
- the present invention provides a method for checking a document with a security feature in the form of a phosphor having the formula (Yi -xy Yb x Er y ) 2 O 3 , which is characterized in that the security feature or
- the security printing ink is illuminated with an infrared light source, preferably an infrared laser, measures the intensity of the bands emitted by the anti-Stokes luminescence in the range of 540 nm and 670 nm, forms the quotient and compares with a target value previously determined for this phosphor.
- the exciting light has a wavelength of 950 nm to 980 nm, preferably 980 nm.
- An apparatus for performing the method with an infrared laser and at least one light intensity measuring device, which measures the intensity of the light emitted by the security feature after illumination with the infrared laser is characterized in that the light intensity measuring device, the ratio of the intensity of the light in the range of 540 nm to the intensity of the light in the range of 670 nm and compares this ratio with a predetermined value.
- the ratio of the intensity of the two bands is very well constant for each batch of a phosphor and reproducible for decades. This means that the detection devices must recognize (in the case of banknotes, for example, on the basis of the number) which batch is to be used check item and then compare the reading with the value stored for that lot.
- the two bands have relatively large distance from each other (540 nm and 670 nm). It is therefore possible to make do with filters in the detection device which only let light through in the respective area. This is much easier than detecting a triplet with high-resolution spectrometers.
- a security feature with anti-Stokes luminescence which is characterized in that the security feature a phosphor having the formula (Y 1-xy Yb x Er y ) 2 O 3 with x ⁇ 0, 20 and y ⁇ 0.075.
- Fig. 1 shows spectra of 16 different phosphors.
- Chart stand the number of example and the peak ratio. It is amazing how much the spectra change in certain areas, e.g. between Example 15 and Example 16: addition of only 3% Yb causes the peak ratio to change from about 0.6 to 0.14.
