Abstract
A yellow-emitting phosphor, BaZrSi3O9:Bi3+, was synthesized in air via solid state reaction method. Luminescence properties of this phosphor were examined by steady-state and time-resolved as well as temperature-dependent luminescence spectra. The obtained BaZrSi3O9:Bi3+ sample shows strong absorption in 300⿿400nm, and gives bright and broad yellow emission centered at 560nm upon 350nm excitation. The broad emission is originated from 3P1⿿1S0 transition of Bi3+, which has a lifetime around ⿼1μs in BaZrSi3O9. Upon heating in the temperature range from room temperature to 250°C, accompanied by the emission intensity deceases (emission intensity at 150°C retains 76% its initial intensity at room temperature), the emission of Bi3+ in BaZrSi3O9 is blue-shifted, which is ascribed to the thermally active phonon-assisted tunneling from the lower energy to the higher energy emission band in the excited states of Bi3+.
