Abstract

Dy3+-doped Ca9NaZn(PO4)7 has been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the obtained phosphors existed as single phase. Doping with Dy3+ at low concentration had no obvious effect on the crystal structure of the host. Dy3+-doped samples showed strong emission at approximately 480 nm and 571 nm under excitation at 350 nm. The blue and yellow emissions showed almost the peak intensity. The combination of blue and yellow light formed white light. The color coordinates (0.323, 0.372) of the composite light are located in the white light region. The optimum doping concentration of Dy3+ ions was experimentally determined to be 10 mol.%. The concentration quenching mechanism was ascertained to be electric dipole–dipole interaction among Dy3+ ions. The obtained phosphors exhibited good thermal stability. These results indicate potential applications as single-phase white light-emitting phosphors.
