Abstract
- Single-phase La 6 Sr 4 (SiO 4 ) 6 F 2 : Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ samples with apatite-like structure have been synthesized via solid-state reaction method. The phase structure, luminescence properties, lifetime, the PL thermal stability, as well as the fluorescence decay curves of the samples were investigated to characterize the resulting samples. Effective energy transfer occurs from Ce 3+ to Tb 3+ in La 6 Sr 4 (SiO 4 ) 6 F 2 , which shows more intense Blue-Green light under UV light excitation. In addition, a possible mechanism of the energy-transfer from Ce 3+ to Tb 3+ ion is also proposed. The critical distance R C of Ce 3+ to Tb 3+ ions in La 6 Sr 4 (SiO 4 ) 6 F 2 host was calculated to be 11.878 Å. All the results indicate that La 6 Sr 4 (SiO 4 ) 6 F 2 :Ce 3+ , Tb 3+ phosphors have potential applications to be used as near UV-convertible phosphors for white light-emitting diodes.
