摘要

The Ln3+ doped K6-3xLnxNa3Al3(PO4)6(KNAPO-Ln); (Ln = Eu3+, Dy3+ and Sm3+; 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.125) phosphors were prepared by well-known high temperature solid state reaction. The as prepared compositions were characterized by different techniques. The prepared powders were crystallized in the monoclinic lattice with space group P21/c. Well-crystallized particles of phosphors exhibited irregular morphology with particle sizes of 5 – 20 μm. The FT-IR profiles of the compositions gave characteristic bands belonging to vibrational modes of orthophosphate (PO4) group. The PL profiles of KNAPO: Eu3+ compounds are characterized by four emission bands centred at 589 (5D0 → 7F1), 616 (5D0 → 7F2), 652 (5D0 → 7F3) and 701 (5D0 → 7F4) nm with 394 nm (7F0 → 5L6) excitation wavelength. The KNAPO: Dy3+ compounds gave a weak blue emission at 483 nm (4F9/2 → 6H15/2) and a strong yellow emission at 574 nm (4F9/2 → 6H13/2) with excitation at 350 nm (6H15/2 → 6P7/2). The KNAPO: Sm3+compositions gave four emission peaks at 564 (4G5/2 → 6H5/2), 600 (4G5/2 → 6H7/2), 646 (4G5/2 → 6H9/2) and 711 (4G5/2 → 6H11/2) nm upon excitation at 404 nm. The variation in emission intensity with Ln3+ concentration was studied and found that the concentration quenching was dominant for compositions in which the value of x is higher than 0.05 (Dy)/0.075 (Eu, Sm). The CIE chromaticity coordinates / correlated color temperature(K) / color purity(%) of K5.775 Eu0.075 Na3Al3(PO4)6, K5.85 Dy0.05 Na3Al3(PO4)6 and K5.775 Sm0.075Na3Al3(PO4)6 are (0.606, 0.356/1830 K/78.3%), (0.368, 0.366/4277 K/20.2%) and (0.574, 0.423/1760 K/65.1%) respectively. The TL profiles of Eu, Dy and Sm doped KNAPO samples are characterized by a single peak maximum in the 350 – 390 °C range and trap depth parameters were evaluated. These compositions may be useful in the manufacturing of cool and warm solid state lighting sources.
