Abstract
A novel blue-emitting apatite structure phosphate phosphor Sr5(PO4)2SiO4: Ce3+, Tb3+ has been synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electric microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV–Vis DRS), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission (PL) spectra were utilized to characterize the samples. The results showed that the Sr5(PO4)2SiO4: Ce3+, Tb3+ samples exhibit a wide and strong emission band located at 405 nm. In addition, the process of energy transfer (ET) from Ce3+ to Tb3+ has been proved to be a dipole-dipole interaction. Importantly, the color of the phosphor emission can be changed by proper tuning of the Ce3+/Tb3+ ratio. Therefore, the prepared phosphors exhibit great potential for applications in the fields of luminescence and display.
