Abstract
The intense zero phonon line (ZPL) of the Mn4+:2E→4A2 transition can further promote the color rendering and luminous efficiency for high-quality white-emitting diodes (w-LEDs). In this article, a Mn4+-activated K3TaOF6 oxyfluoride red phosphor was synthesized via a facile two-step method. Its phase and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM. The as-prepared K3TaOF6:Mn4+ exhibits an intense absorption of blue light and a strong emission band peaking at 628 nm with a color purity as high as 96.4%. Attributed to the distorted octahedral coordination environment of Mn4+ ions, an intense ZPL emission was detected at 620 nm. By theoretical calculation, Mn4+ ions in the K3TaOF6 host experience a strong crystal field. In addition, the temperature-dependent PL and thermoluminescence (TL) spectra suggest that thermal ionization dominates the thermal quenching phenomenon in this phosphor.
