Abstract
Abstract The N-doped Sr2.985Mg1-ySi2O8:0.005Eu2+,0.01Dy3+,yMn2+ (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.15) phosphors were designed to obtain long-persistent phosphors for white LEDs. All the samples were determined to be single-phase by XRD analysis. The particles show smooth surface with the help of the H3BO3 flux. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum indicates the existence of N element. Various Eu2+ emission centers have been gained and verified by the photoluminescence spectra and long-persistent emission spectra, and a red-shift of the Eu2+ emission was observed in the N-doped samples due to the nephelauxetic effect. In Eu2+-Mn2+ co-activated phosphors, tunable emission has been realized and an efficient energy transfer from Eu2+ to Mn2+ was found, which could belong to the dipole-dipole interaction mechanism. The optimal afterglow time was obtained in the Sr2.985MgSi2O7.76N0.16:0.005Eu2+,0.01Dy3+ sample, but doping Mn2+ reduces the afterglow time largely. The mechanism for the increase of luminescence intensity and afterglow time with N present was interpreted. The temperature-dependent luminescence was also evaluated.
