Abstract
Li2(1−x)Al2B2O7: x Dy3+ (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09 mol) phosphors were prepared by steric sol–gel method. The crystalline nature of the synthesized material was confirmed by using powder X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology and elemental composition analysis has been carried out for Dy3+ doped Li2Al2B2O7 phosphor by using transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. PL measurements indicated that the phosphor exhibited two strong emission transitions such as 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 (blue) and 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 (yellow) observed in visible region. The concentration quenching is observed at 5 mol% of Dy3+ ions doped Li2Al2B2O7 phosphor. The CIE chromaticity coordinates were evaluated for two sharp emissions observed in blue (4F9/2 → 6H15/2) and yellow (4F9/2 → 6H13/2) regions to understand the suitability of these materials for white light generation.
