Abstract
A series of single-phase Ca3WO6:Dy3+ phosphors were successfully synthesized via a conventional solid state reaction process. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra were utilized to characterize the structure and luminescence properties of the as-synthesized phosphors. Under 351 nm excitation, the blue emission at 483 nm (4F9/2 → 6H15/2) and yellow emission at 577 nm (4F9/2 → 6H13/2) were observed in the phosphors. The band gap of Ca3WO6 was estimated to be about 3.82 eV from the diffuse reflection spectrum. The decay time values of Ca3WO6:0.04Dy3+ was calculated to be 0.908 ms. The thermal stability of luminescence of Ca3WO6:0.04Dy3+ phosphor was also investigated and the activated energy was deduced to be 0.105 eV, which shows good thermal stability. The Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage chromaticity color coordinates of the phosphors were found to be in the white light region of the chromaticity diagram. The results show that Ca3WO6:Dy3+ can be a promising white emitting phosphor for white LEDs.
