Synthesis and luminescence properties of CaLaMgNbO6:Mn4+ red phosphor for UV-based w-LEDs
A series of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] = 0.0005, 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.009) phosphors were prepared by traditional solid-state method at high temperature. The structure and morphology of the samples were analyzed. The results showed that the prepared [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] phosphors were uniformly dispersed and the particle size was less than 5 [Formula: see text]m. [Formula: see text] phosphors have the strongest excitation peak at 351 nm, which is caused by the [Formula: see text] transition of [Formula: see text] ions. The strongest emission peak is at 697 nm, which is due to the [Formula: see text] level transition of [Formula: see text]. The optimum doping concentration is 0.5 mol.% and the mechanism of concentration quenching is the dipole–dipole interaction between [Formula: see text] ions. Importantly, [Formula: see text] sample has good thermal stability ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] = 48.3%). In addition, the color coordinates of all samples were concentrated in the far-red region (0.733, 0.267). The above results indicate that [Formula: see text] sample has potential application value in the field of white light-emitting diodes ([Formula: see text]-LEDs).
