Abstract

In this paper, a series of bluish-green emitting Li2SiO3:xTb3+(x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol) phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The effects of Tb3+ doping concentration on photoluminescence (PL) properties of Li2SiO3:xTb3+ were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis show that the prepared phosphors confirm the sample has orthorhombic crystal structure. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) shown that Tb element are uniformly doped in Li2SiO3 phosphor with a proper stoichiometric ratio. UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the band gap of Li2SiO3:0.04Tb3+ phosphor. The near ultraviolet light at the wavelength of 379 nm can excite this phosphor and exhibits blue emission at 484 nm at transition 5D3 → 7F6, and green emission at 541 nm at transition 5D4 → 7F5. The critical quenching concentration of Tb3+ in Li2SiO3host is 0.04 mol. The life time measurements were also performed for Li2SiO3:0.04Tb3+ phosphor and estimated average life time. From the photometric properties result indicates that prepared phosphors were emit bluish-green light and they were useful for the solid state lighting applications.
