Abstract
Ca2Tb8(SiO4)6O2:Eu2+/Eu3+ phosphors were prepared via solid-state diffusion route in reducing ambience. The structural/elemental analyses indicate the formation of pure phase which accommodates both Eu2+/Eu3+ ions. The shift of Tb3+ excitation band from 238 to 295nm and increase (1.3×) in excitation intensity with Eu concentration in Ca2Tb8(SiO4)6O2:Eu2+/Eu3+ phosphor is explained on the basis of Tb3+ to Eu3+ energy transfer. Upon various UV excitations (238−380nm), Ca2Tb8(SiO4)6O2:Eu2+/Eu3+ showed tunable color emission including warm white light. Moreover, the emission intensity only decreased 15% after increasing the temperature to 200°C, revealing that present phosphors can be suitable for UV-LEDs.
