Abstract

The wet chemical synthesis was used to make a series of Sr3La(PO4)3:Eu3+ phosphors. X-ray diffraction (XRD), morphology, photoluminescence characteristics and chromaticity were thoroughly investigated. The X-ray diffraction was used to confirm the cubic phase with the space group I − 4 3 d (220). The Sr3La(PO4)3:Eu3+ phosphors show a strong excitation peak at 394 nm. Upon 394 nm excitation, two emission peaks were observed at 594 nm (orange) and 615 nm (red), which corresponding to the transitions 5D0 → 7F1 and 5D0 → 7F2 of Eu3+ ions, respectively. The concentration quenching occurred at 0.5 mol % of Eu3+ ions. The chromaticity coordinates of wavelength 594 nm are (x = 0.597, y = 0.401), and wavelength 615 nm is (x = 0.680, y = 0.319). The Sr3La(PO4)3:Eu3+ phosphors are a series of candidate phosphors for near-UV-based solid-state lighting.
