摘要

This investigation examines Tb3+-doped Gd3Ce2Al3O12 (Tb3+:GCAG) phosphors for white LED applications, highlighting their structural and optical advantages. Tb3+ substitution for Gd3+, enabled by similar ionic radii, enhances crystallinity, reduces lattice distortion, and improves spectral output, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction. XPS confirms the chemical stability and the absence of Tb+4 oxidation states. Optical studies reveal band gap modulation may be due to lattice strain. A concentration quenching is observed at green emission of Tb3+. Fluorescence lifetime increases from 0.176 ms (undoped) to 0.681 ms, with quantum yield of 59.13%. Emission spans blue, green and red wavelengths, driven by multipolar interactions, with optimized green emission at 546 nm. The 0.1% Tb3+:GCAG phosphor achieving a CRI of 96 and chromaticity coordinates resembling natural daylight. The working prototype made using 0.1% Tb3+:GCAG and a UV chip demonstrates high-efficiency white light generation indicating strong potential for its use in white LED systems.
