A novel orange-red emitting Ba2Ca(BO3)2:Sm3+ phosphor to fill the amber gap in LEDs: Synthesis, structural and luminescence characterizations
Current Applied Physics(2017)
摘要
The present paper reports on the structural and luminescent properties of un-doped and Sm3+ doped Ba2Ca(BO3)2 phosphors synthesized by the conventional solid state method. For structural characterizations, the X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and Rietveld refinement method were used. The FTIR spectrum was composed of basic BO3 and BO4 structural units of borates. The Sm3+ doped phosphors under 402 nm (6H5/2 → 4L13/2) excitation, showed an orange red emission corresponding to the 601 nm (4G5/2 → 6H7/2) transition of the Sm3+ ion. An increase in the PL emission intensity was observed up to 2 mol % with the increase in Sm3+ ions concentration. The critical distance between the Sm3+– Sm3+ ions were found to be 24.36 Å. Moreover, the phosphors decaytime and optical bandgap at different concentration of Sm3+ ion also have been discussed in details. All the results show that Ba2Ca(BO3)2:Sm3+ phosphor may be used with a near ultraviolet (n-UV) chip to fill the amber gap in light emitting diodes (LEDs).
