Abstract

In order to enhance the deep red emission intensities of CaAl12O19:Cr3+ and CaAl12O19:Mn4+ phosphors, the authors prepared a series of samples through doping a variety of ions with different valence states at 1500 °C by solid state reaction in air. Their doping effects and possible mechanisms were investigated, respectively. The results indicated that Sm3+ could enhance the emission intensity of CaAl12O19:Cr3+ through an energy transfer process, whereas it has not a similar effect for the CaAl12O19:Mn4+ phosphor. It is also shown that Cl−, Mg2+ and K+ could enhance the emission intensity of CaAl12O19:Mn4+ mainly due to their charge compensation effects. What is more interesting is that the doped Ge4+ ion, as a type of covalent ion of Mn4+, also has the ability to enhance the red emission intensity of CaAl12O19:Mn4+ through decreasing the concentration of Mn4+–Mn4+ pairs in the prepared phosphor.
