Abstract

The Mn2+, Yb3+, Er3+: ZnWO4 green phosphors are synthesized successfully through the high temperature solid state reaction method. The micro-structure and morphology have been investigated by means of XRD and EDS. The doped concentrations of Mn2+, Yb3+, Er3+ are measured by ICP. The absorption spectra and emission spectra with different doped concentrations of Mn2+ are presented to reveal the influence of Mn2+ on the green up-conversion performance. Excited with 970 nm LED, the up-conversion emission peak at 547 nm is obtained and the CIE spectra as well as the green light photo are also presented. The results indicate that the Mn2+ ions play the role of the luminescence adjustment in the up-conversion process, which can improve the up-conversion green emission intensity effectively. The luminescence adjustment mechanism of Mn2+ ions in Mn2+, Yb3+, Er3+: ZnWO4 green phosphors has been discussed. The crystal parameters of Dq, B and C are calculated to evaluate the energy level split effect.
