Abstract
Highly efficient CaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ green phosphors were synthesized via solid-state reaction method. The produced phosphors are effectively excited with UV-vis light of wavelength between 300 and 460 nm and emit a single, intense, and broad emission band centered at 538 nm. The experimental results and their analysis suggest that the energy transfer mechanism should occur due to dipole-dipole interactions among Eu2+ ions, resulting in a shift in emission spectrum toward longer wavelengths with increasing Eu2+ concentration. The quenching concentration of Eu2+ (i.e., where the emission intensity maximizes) is approximately 2 at. %. Accordingly, the produced CaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ green phosphors are qualified for further consideration and experimentation for potential use in white light emitting diodes.
