Abstract

In this letter, a yellow-emitting Sr3SiO5:Ce3+,Li+ phosphor is reported. Through transitions of 5d→4f (F7∕22 and F5∕22) in Ce3+, the phosphor showed a very broad and strong yellow emission under near ultraviolet (UV) or blue light excitation. The energy levels of Ce3+ in Sr3SiO5 were suggested from its absorption and excitation spectra. White light could be obtained by combining this phosphor with 460 or 405nm light-emitting diodes (LEDs) [(x,y)=(0.3086,0.3167) or (0.3173, 0.3103)]. Additionally, a yellow LED was fabricated using a near-UV LED (380nm chip) with Sr3SiO5:Ce3+,Li+.
