摘要

A series of new Sm3+-doped Ba3Ca2(PO4)3F phosphors were synthesized by adopting solid state reaction method. The phase purity, crystal structure, morphology, elemental composition, and luminescence properties of the as synthesized phosphors were comprehensively analyzed. X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the space group P63/m (No.176). Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra showed characteristic Sm3+- lines falling in 540–690 nm visible region for the excitation wavelength 401 nm. Four intense peaks of emissions attributed to the 4f–4f transitions of Sm3+ ions were observed. Out of these four peaks, that at 599 nm is more dominant. Decay characteristics are used to evaluate non-radiative transition rates and quantum efficiency. Color coordinates reveal orange hue of the prepared phosphor. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM)-images, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis followed by elemental mapping further consolidates the evidence for the formation of desired phase in our samples. The Sm3+-doped Ba3Ca2(PO4)3F phosphors may be potential candidate for use as orange-red phosphors for w-LED and display devices.
