Abstract

Ba5Al3F19:Eu2+ blue-emitting phosphors were synthesized by the solid state reaction in a reductive atmosphere. The crystal structure of Ba5Al3F19:Eu2+ phosphors were characterized by using the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurement. The luminescence properties are investigated systematically based on the crystal structure. Emission and excitation spectra of the Ba5Al3F19:Eu2+ phosphor along with the decay curves were characterized. Under the excitation of UV light, the phosphor exhibits a broad band emission around 410 nm ascribed to the allowed 4f65d→4f7(8S7/2) transition, together with a sharp line at 360 nm corresponding to the forbidden 4f7(6P7/2)→4f7(8S7/2) transition of the Eu2+ ions. The temperature dependent emission spectra and decay curves were measured to investigate the origins of the emission and the thermal stabilities of the as-prepared phosphors. The as-prepared Ba5Al3F19:Eu2+ phosphors display interesting and stable luminescence properties, which can act as promising blue-emitting phosphor candidates.
