Abstract
Ce3+ and/or Dy3+ activated Ca20Al26Mg3Si3O68 phosphors were synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction and their luminescent properties were studied. There are two emissions peaking at 407 and 577nm in the emission spectra of Ca20Al26Mg3Si3O68:Ce3+, Dy3+, which are due to the transitions of Ce3+ and Dy3+ ions, respectively. More importantly, the effective energy transfer from Ce3+ to Dy3+ ions has been confirmed and investigated by emission/excitation spectra and luminescent decay behaviors. Furthermore, the energy level scheme and mechanism of energy transfer were investigated and it was demonstrated to be resonant type via dipole–dipole reaction. Under the excitation of 345nm, the emitting color can change from blue to white by adjusting the relative doping concentration of Ce3+ and Dy3+ ions, indicating that the phosphors Ca20Al26Mg3Si3O68:Ce3+, Dy3+ are promising single-phase white-emitting phosphors for application in pc-white LEDs.
