Characterization and luminescence of Eu/Sm-coactivated CaYAl3O7 phosphor synthesized by using a combustion method

A novel red-emitting phosphor, CaYA1307: Eu^3+, Sm^3+, is synthesized by a combustion method at a low temperature (850 ℃), and the single phase of CaYA1307 is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction measurements. The photoluminescence property results reveal that the red emission intensity of Eu^3+ is...

More Information
Summary:A novel red-emitting phosphor, CaYA1307: Eu^3+, Sm^3+, is synthesized by a combustion method at a low temperature (850 ℃), and the single phase of CaYA1307 is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction measurements. The photoluminescence property results reveal that the red emission intensity of Eu^3+ is strongly dependent on the Sm^3+ concentration. Only the Eu^3+ luminescence is detected in the Eu^3+-Sm^3+ co-doped CaYA1307 phosphor with 393 nm excitation. However, under the characteristic excitation (402 nm) of Sm^3+, not only the Sm^3+ emission but also the Eu^3+ emission are observed. A possible mechanism of the energy transfer between Sm^3+ and Eu3+ is investigated in detail.
