Abstract

Eu2+‐doped magnesium haloborate Mg3B7O13Cl was synthesized by the conventional high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. The phase formation was confirmed by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurements and structure refinement. The photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, and decay curves were measured. Under the excitation of near‐UV light, Eu2+‐doped Mg3B7O13Cl presents a narrow blue‐emitting band centered at 423 nm. The maximum absolute quantum efficiency (QE) of Mg3B7O13Cl:Eu2+ phosphor was measured to be 80% excited at 385 nm light at 300 K. The thermal stability of the blue luminescence was evaluated by the luminescence decays as a function of temperature. The phosphor shows an excellent thermal stability on temperature quenching effects. Moreover, Mg3B7O13Cl:Eu2+ phosphor shows scintillation characteristics excited by X‐ray irradiation at room temperature and presents a blue luminescence band with a fast lifetime of 600 ns.
