Abstract

A novel red-emitting phosphor NaYGeO4: Eu3+ has been prepared by a high temperature solid state method. All the Eu3+ ions are completely dissolved in the NaYGeO4 host without changing its crystal structure. Under 315 ​nm host excitation or 464 ​nm 7F0→5D2 excitation, the phosphor NaYGeO4: Eu3+ presents red emission with the strongest peak at 613 ​nm. The concentration quenching and luminescence mechanism are also investigated. The optimal NaYGeO4: 0.05Eu3+ phosphor displays high internal quantum efficiency, excellent thermal stability with the activation energy (ΔE) of 0.2716 ​eV. The color emission can be tuned by changing the Eu3+ concentration. The phosphor presents a great potential application for ultraviolet or blue excited white LED.
