A novel strong green phosphor： K3Gd（PO4）2：Ce^3＋, Tb^3＋ for a UV-excited white light-emitting-diode

A series of K3Gd1-x-y（PO4）2：xCe^3＋, yTb^3＋ phosphors are synthesized by the solid-sate reaction method. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra are utilized to characterize the structures and luminescence properties of the as-synthesized phosphors. Co-doping of Ce^3＋ enhances the emission intensity of Tb^3＋ greatly through an efficient energy transfer process from Ce^3＋ to Tb^3＋. The energy transfer is confirmed by photoluminescence spectra and decay time curves analysis. The efficiency and mechanism of energy transfer are investigated carefully. Moreover, due to the non- concentration quenching property of K3Tb（PO4）2, the photoluminescence spectra of K3Tb1-x（PO4）2：xCe^3＋ are studied and the results show that when x = 0.11 the strongest Tb^3＋ green emission can be realized.     

A red oxide phosphor,SreScAlO5：Eu^2＋ with perovskite-type structure,for white light-emitting diodes

Sr2ScAlO5：Eu^2＋, a red oxide phosphor with a perovskite-type structure, has been synthesized through a solid-state reaction and its luminescence properties have been investigated. An absorption band centering at 450 nm is observed from the diffuse reflection spectra and the excitation spectra, indicating that the phosphor can match perfectly with the blue light of InGaN light-emitting diodes. A broad red emission band at 620 nm is found from the emission spectra, originating from the 4f^65d-4f^7 transition of the Eu^2＋ ions. The best doping content of Eu in this material is about 5%. S Sr2ScAlO5：Eu^2＋ is a highly promising red phosphor for use in white light-emitting diodes.     

Novel Dy^3＋-doped Gd（PO3）3 white-light phosphors under VUV excitation for Hg-free lamps application

Novel Dy3+-doped Gd(PO3)3 white light phosphors each with an orthorhombic system are successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction.The luminescence properties of white-light Gd1-x(PO3)3:xDy3+(0 x ≤ 0.25) under vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) excitation are investigated.The strong absorption at around 147 nm in excitation spectrum energy can be transferred to the energy levels of Dy3+ ion from the host absorption.Additionally,the white light phosphor is activated by a single Dy3+ ion.Therefore,the luminescence of Gd1-x(PO3)3:xDy(0 x ≤ 0.25) under VUV excitation is effective,and it has the promise of being applied to mercury-free lamps.     

Near-infrared downconversion in Eu2＋ and Pr3＋ co-doped KSrPO4 phosphor

A novel near-infrared (NIR) downconversion (DC) phosphor KSrPO4 :Eu2+ , Pr3+ is synthesized by the conventional high temperature solid-state reaction. The Eu2+ acts as an efficient sensitizer for Pr3+ in the KSrPO4 host. With broad-band near-ultraviolet light excitation induced by the 4f→5d transition of Eu2+ , the characteristic NIR emission of Pr3+ , peaking at 974 nm and 1019 nm due to 3P0 → 1G4 and 1G4 → 3H4 transitions, is generated as a result of the energy transfer from Eu2+ to Pr3+ . The luminescence spectra in both the visible and the NIR regions and the decay lifetime curves of Eu2+ prove the energy transfer from Eu2+ to Pr3+ . This Eu2+ and Pr3+ co-doped KSrPO4 phosphor may be a promising candidate to modify the spectral mismatch behavior of crystalline solar cells and sunlight.

A potential red emitting K4Ca(PO4)2: Eu3+ phosphor for white light emitting diodes

Europium (III) ions doped red phosphors K₄Ca(PO₄)₂ were prepared first time by high temperature solid state reaction method. The prepared phosphors structure was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The thermal properties of the synthesized phosphor were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of K₄Ca(PO₄)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphors have shown strong red emission at 618 nm (⁵D₀→⁷F₂) with near UV an excitation wavelength of λ_exc=394 nm (⁷F₀→⁵L₆). In addition, the decay curves and CIE color coordinate measurements are also carried out. Hence, emission and excitation characterization of synthesized phosphors shows that the phosphors may be a promising red component for the application in the white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).     

Unusual behavior of Tb3+ in K3YF6 green-emitting phosphor

We report on photoluminescence studies of Tb3+ in a polycrystalline cryolite type K3YF6 host. The location of the Tb3+ in the center of inversion forbids the electric-dipole transitions of terbium ions in this material. As a consequence almost the entire luminescence intensity is related to the 5D4-(7)F5 magnetic-dipole transition, and it is contained in the extremely narrow spectral bandwidth amounting to 1.7 nm at 8K and to 18 nm at room temperature. The phosphor under study can be efficiently excited making use of intense f-d transitions of Tb3+ in the UV-vacuum-UV region and may be of interest for applications requiring high spectral purity of the emission.     

A reddish orange-emitting stoichiometric phosphor K3Eu(PO4)2 for white light-emitting diodes

A series of Eu³⁺ activated K₃Y_1?xEu_x(PO₄)₂ phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The structures and photoluminescent properties of these phosphors were investigated at room temperature. The results of XRD patterns indicate that these phosphors are isotypic to the monoclinic K₃Y(PO₄)₂ or K₃Eu(PO₄)₂. The excitation spectra indicate that these phosphors can be effectively excited by near UV (370–410 nm) light. The orange emission from transition ⁵D₀–⁷F₁ is dominant, and the peak value ratio of ⁵D₀–⁷F₁/⁵D₀–⁷F₂ is 1.44. The emission spectra exhibit strong reddish orange performance (CIE chromaticity coordinates: x=0.63, y=0.36), which is due to the ⁵D₀–⁷F_J transitions of Eu³⁺ ions. The relationship between the structure and the photoluminescent properties of the phosphors was studied. The absence of concentration quenching of Eu³⁺ was observed in K₃Y_1?xEu_x(PO₄)₂. K₃Eu(PO₄)₂ has potential application as a phosphor for white light-emitting diodes.     

Luminescent properties of Mg3Ca3(PO4)4: Eu2+ blue-emitting phosphor for white light emitting diodes

A blue-emitting phosphor, Eu²⁺-activated Mg₃Ca₃(PO₄)₄ phosphor was synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the phase formation. Photoluminescence (PL) results showed that Mg₃Ca₃(PO₄)₄: Eu²⁺ could be efficiently excited by UV–visible light from 250 to 430 nm, which matched well with the emission wavelengths of near-UV and UV LED chips. The effects of the doped-Eu²⁺ concentration in Mg₃Ca₃(PO₄)₄: Eu²⁺ on the PL were also investigated. The result reveals that Mg₃Ca₃(PO₄)₄: Eu²⁺ is a potential blue-emitting phosphor for white LEDs.     

Effect of Tb3+ co-doping and particle size on K2Ca2(SO4)3:EU phosphor

K₂Ca₂(SO₄)₃ doped with Eu, and co-doped with Tb were prepared by the solid state diffusion method. The nanoparticles of these phosphors were also prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method. The formation of the compounds was confirmed by XRD. The particle size was calculated by the broadening of the XRD peaks using Scherrer's formula. The particle size was found to be around 20?nm. Thermoluminescence (TL) was studied to see the effect of co-doping and particle size. Tb³⁺ co-doping decreases the intensity in the Eu²⁺ doped phosphor due to the energy transfer and multiple de-excitations through various radiative and non-radiative processes. The K₂Ca₂(SO₄)₃:Eu,Tb phosphor is found to be 0.33 times more sensitive than TLD-700H, but around 15 times more than LiF-TLD 100, and 7 times more than CaSO₄:Dy. The effective atomic number Z_eff is around 15, which is again comparable to CaSO₄:Dy.

However, very low sensitivity was observed in the case of nanoparticles. The decrease in the sensitivity is attributed to the particle size effect i.e., the volume-to-surface ratio. Study of photoluminescence (PL) of the material is also carried out.

A novel red-emitting phosphor Ca9Bi(PO4)7:Eu3+ for near ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes

Red phosphors Ca₉Bi_1-x(PO₄)₇:xEu³⁺ (x = 0.06, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80 and 1.00) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) route. The X-ray diffraction patterns, photoluminescence spectra, ultraviolet–visible reflection spectroscopy, decay time and the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of these compounds were characterized and analyzed. The Eu-doped Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇ phosphors exhibited strong red luminescence which peaks located at 615 nm due to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ electric dipole transition of Eu³⁺ ions after excitation at 393 nm. Ultraviolet–visible spectra indicated that the band-gap of Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ is larger than that of Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇. The results indicate that the phosphor Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ can be a suitable red-emitting phosphor candidate for LEDs.
