Abstract
Novel single-phased phosphors SrY2O4:Bi3+,Eu3+ (SYO:Bi3+,Eu3+) with tunable emitting were successfully synthesized by the conventional solid-state method. X-ray diffraction, excitation and emission spectra, decay curves as well as temperature-dependent luminescence were applied to characterize the as-obtained phosphors. Under ultraviolet (UV) excitation, blue luminescence centered at 410 nm was found in SYO:Bi3+. By introducing Eu3+ into SYO:Bi3+, highly efficient energy transfer (ET) process with ET efficiency of 92.65% from Bi3+ to Eu3+ was obtained before concentration quenching. The possible ET mechanism from Bi3+ to Eu3+ were investigated systematically. By altering Eu3+ content, tunable emission from blue to red was realized. More importantly, investigation of the thermal stability showed that over 98% of the room-temperature emission intensity was still preserved at 155 °C, which is superior to that of most recently reported Bi3+,Eu3+ co-doped phosphors. These results indicate that this kind of easy fabrication, low-cost and highly stable SYO:Bi3+,Eu3+ are potential candidates for blue-red phosphors for application in UV chip based w-LEDs.
