Abstract
Tb3+ and Eu3+-doped LiSrPO4 (LSPO) were produced via a modified sol-gel route. Structural and optical characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), respectively. The results reveal that the presence of dopants has an effect on the LSPO structure. PL spectra of the LSPO:Tb, Eu (LSPOTE) phosphor consisted of major emission lines associated with 5D3,4-7FJ (J = 3, 4, 5 and 6) and 5D0-7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions of Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions, respectively. A change in emission spectra was observed when the excitation wavelength was changed. Under middle-ultraviolet excitation (227 nm), the Tb3+ and Eu3+-doped LiSrPO4 phosphor exhibited white emission. The results suggest that the LiSr0.97PO4:Tb0.01,Eu0.02 phosphors prepared in the present work could be used in combination with AlGaN chips to fabricate white LEDs.
