Abstract
In the pursuit of efficient red-emitting phosphors, a series of red-emitting Na7Mg13La(PO4)12:Eu3+ phosphors was prepared using a high-temperature solid-state synthesis method. The phase purity was monitored using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological features of the synthesized samples were evaluated by taking scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The optical properties of the synthesized polycrystalline samples were investigated by recording room-temperature and temperature-dependent (77–500 K interval) excitation and emission spectra, and photoluminescence (PL) decay curves. The calculated TQ1/2 values were above 420 K, regardless of the Eu3+ concentration, indicating the high thermal stability of the phosphors. The optimal Eu3+ concentration was 100 %, which indicated the absence of concentration quenching in the given host. Furthermore, the quantum efficiency of fully Eu3+-substituted compound reached 100 %, which is an excellent feature for practical phosphor applications.
