摘要

This study successfully synthesized Dy3+-doped β-Ga2O3 phosphors via the sol–gel method. After calcination at 1000°C for 30 min, a monoclinic crystalline structure was obtained. With increasing Dy3+ doping concentration, secondary phases were observed in the x-ray diffraction analysis owing to the significant difference in ionic radii between Ga3+ and Dy3+ ions; meanwhile, the rod-like morphology of the phosphor particles exhibited a tendency to grow larger. Under excitation with a 260 nm ultraviolet light source, two main emission bands were observed in the visible region: a blue emission band at 470–500 nm corresponding to the 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 transition, and a yellow emission band at 560–600 nm corresponding to the 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 transition. With increasing Dy3+ doping concentration, the emission intensity also increased and reached an optimum at 3 mol.%, at which the corresponding CIE chromaticity coordinates were (x = 0.33, y = 0.36) and the decay lifetime was 14.09 ms. As the Dy3+ concentration increased, the CIE chromaticity coordinates of the β-Ga2O3:Dy3+ phosphors gradually shifted from the blue region toward the near-white region, and the correlated color temperature (CCT) values were located between the natural white and cool white light regions.
