A New Promising Silicate-Based Phosphor for Red Light and White Light Emitting Devices
摘要
The aim of this study is to investigate the structure, particle morphology, photoluminescence, and chemical composition of materials for application in light-emitting devices. The present work primarily focuses on the synthesis and characterization of Ba₃CdSi₂O₈:RE (RE: Ce³⁺, Eu³⁺, and Dy³⁺) phosphors via the solid-state reaction method. XRD and FT-IR techniques were used to characterize the phosphors. The XRD patterns of the phosphors reveal that the peaks match those of the Ba₃Cd(SiO₄)₂ host material (PDF Card number: 00-028-0128), with no impurity peaks observed. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of Ba₃CdSi₂O₈:RE (RE: Ce³⁺, Eu³⁺, and Dy³⁺) phosphors were investigated in detail. Ba₃CdSi₂O₈:Dy³⁺ phosphors show four emission bands in the blue (450–510 nm), yellow (550–600 nm), red (640–700 nm), and deep red (740–770 nm) regions. Ce³⁺-doped Ba₃CdSi₂O₈ phosphors show a broad emission band from 575 nm to 700 nm, with a maximum around 594 nm, which is assigned to the 5d-4f transition of Ce³⁺ ions. Moreover, Ba₃CdSi₂O₈:Eu³⁺ phosphors capture excitation energy through charge transfer transitions of Eu³⁺ ions and emit at 586 nm, 613 nm, 653 nm, and 700 nm, corresponding to the 5D₀ → 7 F₀, 5D₀ → 7 F₂, 5D₀ → 7 F₃, and 5D₀ → 7 F₄ transitions of Eu³⁺ ions, respectively. The CIE color coordinates confirm that Eu³⁺ doping shifts the color toward red, while Dy³⁺ and Ce³⁺ doping result in shifts within other parts of the chromaticity space.
