Abstract

A series of red-emitting phosphors Eu3+-doped Sr3Y(PO4)3 have been successfully synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction, and its photoluminescence properties have been investigated. The excitation spectra reveal strong excitation bands at 392nm, which match well with the popular emissions from near-UV light-emitting diode chips. The emission spectra of Sr3Y(PO4)3:Eu3+ phosphors exhibit peaks associated with the 5D0→7FJ (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions of Eu3+ and have dominating emission peak at 612nm under 392nm excitation. The integral intensity of the emission spectra of Sr3Y0.94(PO4)3:0.06Eu3+ phosphors excited at 392nm is about 3.4 times higher than that of Y2O3:Eu3+ commercial red phosphor. The Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage chromaticity coordinates, the quantum efficiencies and decay times of the phosphors excited under 392nm are also investigated. The experimental results indicate that the Eu3+-doped Sr3Y(PO4)3 phosphors are promising red-emitting phosphors pumped by near-UV light.
