Abstract

Red-emitting Ba2ZnS3:xMn2+ phosphor samples were prepared using a modified wet chemical co-precipitation method. In this method, hydrazine hydrate is used as one of the precursors. The powder samples prepared were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging technique. The photoluminescence emission, as well as excitation spectra, were recorded. Variation of emission intensity for various Mn2+ doping concentrations was recorded. The concentration quenching effect was studied. CIE 1931 color coordinates were found. The red-emitting Ba2ZnS3:xMn2+ phosphor exhibits a broad emission spectrum in the range of 550–700 nm with FWHM (Full-width half maxima) 56 nm. The excitation spectrum monitored at 611 nm emission exhibits broadband from 250 to 400 nm. The excitation band shows an excellent spread in the near UV region of the spectrum. It can be applied as a red phosphor in the fabrication of white LEDs from UVLED chips.
