Abstract

The authors report here the enhanced luminescence properties of SrSi2O2N2 doped with Eu and M (M=Ce, Dy, and Mn). The Eu and Eu, Mn-codoped powders were prepared by a solid state reaction at temperatures between 1400 and 1600°C under H2 (25%)–N2 (75%) atmosphere. The Eu, M-codoped Sr1−x−ySi2N2O2 phosphors have the monoclinic structure with lattice parameters a∼15.6Å, b∼16.2Å, c∼9.4Å, and β∼91°. The phosphors can be efficiently excited in the UV to visible region, making them attractive as conversion phosphors for a light emitting diode application. A green-yellow emission was observed for Eu,M-codoped Sr1−x−ySi2N2O2. The addition of M in the Eu site in SrSi2O2N2 remarkably enhances the luminescent intensity by the factor of 144%, 148%, and 168% for Ce, Dy, and Mn, respectively.
