Abstract
AbstractIn this work, we fabricated a novel spinel‐type phosphor material MgAl2−xGaxO4 doped with Cr3+ by the high‐temperature solid‐state sintering method. The crystal field environment of the spinel was tuned by replacing the Al ions with Ga3+ ions of different concentrations. The cell volume and Dq/B gradient increase from 2.82 to 2.62 with increasing Ga3+ ion doping concentration. This also implies a gradual decrease in the field strength of the crystal. Based on this, the excitation spectra of MgAl1.995−xGaxO4:0.5%Cr3+ phosphors yield a redshift. Increasing the Ga3+ ion doping concentration also improves the emission intensity and thermal stability of the phosphors, and the emission intensity of the Ga3+‐doped phosphors is significantly increased. For a Ga/Al ratio of 1, the thermal stability of the phosphor emission is optimal. The emission intensity at 140°C can maintain 76% of the emission intensity at room temperature, indicating that appropriate Ga3+ ion doping can improve the emission efficiency and thermal stability of the phosphors.
