Abstract

The thermal and operational degradation in optical property of a europium-doped barium magnesium aluminate (BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+, BAM) phosphor was studied. BAM was heat-treated at 500°C under various conditions to determine the mechanism of thermal degradation. Operational degradation tests were then performed under a discharging Xe/Ne mixed gas to study the influence of thermal history on operational degradation. It was found that the atmosphere during thermal processing was the major factor affecting not only the thermal degradation, but also the operational degradation. The sample heat-treated under a reducing atmosphere showed enhanced stability during operation.
