Abstract

The effect of compensator on optical properties of Ca2Al2SiO7:Eu3+ is systematically investigated by the X-ray powder diffraction, photo-luminescence (PL) properties and lifetime. It is obviously observed that the PL intensity of Eu3+ under 394 nm excitation increases in the order of Ca1.86Eu0.14Al2SiO7 (CAS), Ca1.72Na0.14Eu0.14Al2SiO7 (CASNa) and Ca1.86Eu0.14Al2.14Si0.86O7 (CASAl), the intensity of Eu3+ are 100%, 134%, 184%, and the lifetime of Eu3+ are 0.75 ms, 1.28 ms and 1.39 ms, respectively. A charge compensation model is proposed to explain the changes in the emission intensity and lifetime of Eu3+ in Ca2Al2SiO7 with different compensation methods.
