Abstract
A violet-blue phosphor of Ba10(PO4)6F2: Eu2+ was prepared by high-temperature solid state reaction. Luminescence, concentration quenching and thermal stability of Ba10(PO4)6F2: Eu2+ are systematically investigated. The phosphor exhibits a broadband UV absorption and a violet-blue emission peaking at 420 nm with corresponding CIE coordinates of (0.163, 0.024). It is found that Eu2+ ions occupy 9-coordinated Ba(1) and 7-coordinated Ba(2) site in Ba10(PO4)6F2, and therefore generate two emission sub-bands at 415 and 433 nm. The optimal concentration of Eu2+ is 5 mol% according to emission intensity and the quenching mechanism is verified to be a dipole-dipole interaction. Ba10(PO4)6F2: 0.05Eu2+ phosphor shows good thermal stability with 81% of room temperature intensity at 180 °C.
