Abstract

Novel single-phase red-emitting Na2Mg(PO4)F:Eu3+ phosphors are successfully synthesized in this work. The phase structure, surface morphology, and particle size are obtained. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectrum, photoluminescence emission (PL) spectra, thermal quenching, and lifetime are also measured. The PLE spectrum exhibits a strong excitation peak at 395 nm, which matches the near-ultraviolet InGaN chip. The PL spectrum possesses a series of peaks associated with 5D0→7FJ (J = 0–4) transition of Eu3+. The abnormal high emission peak located at 700 nm is due to the 5D0→7F4 transition, which is different from most Eu3+-doped phosphors. The optimum doping concentration (x) is 10% mol, and the quenching temperature (T0.5) is over 470 K. The lifetimes of the prepared phosphors are in the range of milliseconds. The Commission International de I’Eclairage (CIE, 1931) coordinates were measured to be (0.621, 0.377). The white light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs) are also fabricated by the prepared phosphors and commercial phosphors. The above results indicate that the Na2Mg(PO4)F:Eu3+ fluorophosphate phosphors can be applied for w-LEDs.
