Abstract

SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ phosphor was synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction in atmosphere. SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ phosphor is efficiently excited by ultraviolet (UV) and blue light, and the emission peaks are assigned to the transitions of 4G5/2-6H5/2 (563 nm), 4G5/2-6H7/2 (597 nm and 605 nm) and 4G5/2-6H9/2 (644 nm and 653 nm). The emission intensities of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ are influenced by Sm3+ concentration, and the concentration quenching effect of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ is also observed. When doping A + (A=Li, Na and K) ions, the emission intensity of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ can be obviously enhanced. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) color coordinates of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ locate in the orange-red region. The results indicate that the phosphor has a potential application in white light emitting diodes (LEDs).
