A series of novel KBaSc2(PO4)3:Ce3+/Eu2+/Tb3+phosphors are prepared using a solid‐state reaction. X‐ray diffraction analysis and Rietveld structure refinement are used to check the phase purity and crystal structure of the prepared samples. Ce3+‐ and Eu2+‐doped phosphors both have broad excitation and emission bands, owing to the spin‐ and orbital‐allowed electron transition between the 4f and 5d energy levels. By co‐doping the KBaSc2(PO4)3:Eu2+ and KBaSc2(PO4)3:Ce3+ phosphors with Tb3+ ions, tunable colors from blue to green can be obtained. The critical distance between the Eu2+ and Tb3+ ions is calculated by a concentration quenching method and the energy‐transfer mechanism for Eu2+→Tb3+ is studied by utilizing the Inokuti–Hirayama model. In addition, the quantum efficiencies of the prepared samples are measured. The results indicate that KBaSc2(PO4)3:Eu2+,Tb3+ and KBaSc2(PO4)3:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors might have potential applications in UV‐excited white‐light‐emitting diodes. |
