Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of NaSrBO3:Ce,Yb phosphor is described. NaSrBO3:Ce phosphor exhibited characteristic Ce3+ emission around 414 nm. Co-doping with Yb3+ resulted in near-infrared (NIR) emission around 981 nm. This is attributed to phonon-assisted cooperative energy transfer from Ce3+ to two Yb3+ ions. Ce3+ → Yb3+ energy transfer is proved using a variety of measurements such as dependence of photoluminescence intensity of visible and NIR emissions on Yb3+ concentration, excitation spectrum for Yb3+, accelerated decay of Ce3+ emission after Yb3+ codoping, etc. Using lifetime measurements, the efficiency of Ce3+ → Yb3+ energy transfer is estimated to be 48.65%.
