Abstract
Ln3+ (Ln = Ce3+/Dy3+, Ce3+/Tb3+) doped KNa3Al4Si4O16 phosphor has been synthesized by Combustion method (CS) at 550° C successfully. Ln3+ (Ln = Ce3+, Dy3+, Tb3+) ions when doped in KNa3Al4Si4O16 host lattice, it shows blue and green emission band under the near Ultraviolet (NUV) excitation wavelength. The Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission spectra are observed due to f-f and d-f transition of rare earth ions. Also, an effective energy transfer (ET) study from Ce3+ → Dy3+ and Ce3+ → Tb3+ ions has been studied and confirmed on the basis of Dexter-Foster theory. Further synthesized phosphor is well characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and decay time measurement. However, the analysis of crystallite size, lattice strain has been studied by using theoretical as well as experimental techniques. Hence, the observed tunable emission in Ln3+ doped KNa3Al4Si4O16 phosphor may be applicable for solid state lighting technology.
