Photoluminescence characteristics of Eu3+ and Tb3+ doped NaMg30SiO32 phosphor for WLED application
摘要
The solid-state reaction technique was utilized to yield a series of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions doped (separately) with the NaMg30SiO32 phosphors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were utilized to analyze the phosphor's shape and phase development. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis shows that NaMg30SiO32: Eu3+, Tb3+ show extremely intense peaks at 617 nm (5D0 to 7F2), and 545 nm (5D4 to 7F5) during the excitation of 393 nm and 367 nm, respectively. A critical distance Rc for Eu3+ (8 mol%), and Tb3+ (10 mol%) ions was obtained to be 24.614 Å and 22.85 Å, respectively, regarding the effect of quenching of concentration. Average time of decay is found to be 2.86 ms and 4.47 ms for NaMg30SiO32: Eu3+, Tb3+, respectively. These phosphors' color coordinates of CIE chromaticity and corresponding temperature of color were computed. Based on these results, the NaMg30SiO32: Eu3+, Tb3+ phosphor could be used as a suitable phosphor for applications in white light-emitting diodes (WLED) due to emission in the red, and green regions, respectively, with good optical qualities.
