Abstract
A new green emitting long-lasting phosphor Ca2ZnSi2O7:Eu2+ has been synthesized through the high temperature solid-state method. The excitation spectrum of [Formula: see text] shows a broadband attributed to 8S7/2–4f65d1 transition of Eu2+ ions. Both of the fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra showed a broadband centered at 528 nm, corresponding the only one Ca2+ site in Ca2ZnSi2O7 . The relationship of emission wavelength and Eu–O distance is investigated. Its afterglow can be seen with the naked eye in the dark clearly for 2 h after removal of the excitation source. Oxygen vacancy [Formula: see text] and zinc vacancy [Formula: see text], two different kinds of traps are proposed and their contrary influence on afterglow is discussed.
