Abstract

The luminescence and chromaticity characteristics of Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+, a type of red-emitting phosphors, are examined. To make Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+ phosphor, a conventional solid-state reaction technique has been employed. The photoluminescence emission(PL) and photoluminescence excitation(PLE) spectra indicate that the absorption of light is mostly due to W → O charge transfer at 319 nm wavelength and Eu3+ transitions are obtained in the near-UV and visible areas, whereas red emissions are due to intra-configurational 4f-4f Eu3+ transitions. The CIE chromaticity coordinates for Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+ are (0.68, 0.31), which is the same as the commodity phosphor Y2O2S:Eu3+. Characteristic line emission is seen, with the strongest emission at 619 nm. The intensity of the luminescence is constrained by Eu3+ concentration due to energy transfer. Furthermore, Na5Y(WO4)4: Eu3+ phosphors are interesting prospects for w-LEDs.
