摘要

Ca6BaP4O17:xEu2+ (0.001 ≤ x ≤ 0.02) phosphors were synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. Crystallographic and spectroscopic analyses reveal that Eu2+ ions selectively occupy the Ba2+, Ca2+(1), and Ca2+(2) sites. This site-dependent behavior enables emission color tuning by varying Eu2+ doping, which influences site occupancy and energy transfer processes. Due to the differing thermal stabilities of Eu2+ at Ba2+ sites and at Ca2+ sites, the emission intensity varies significantly with temperature. The optimized Ca6BaP4O17:1%Eu2+ phosphor exhibits exceptional thermometric sensitivity, with a relative sensitivity of 2.05% K−1 at 473 K, making it a promising candidate for non-contact temperature-sensing applications.
