Abstract: | Blue and green light emissive nanocrystalline Ca2Gd8Si6O26 (CGS):Tm3+ and CGS:Er3+ phosphors with high color purity were prepared by solvothermal reaction method. The structural and morphological properties of these phosphors were evaluated by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. From the XRD results, Tm3+:CGS and Er3+:CGS phosphors had the characteristic peaks of oxyapatite in the hexagonal lattice structure. The visible luminescence properties of phosphors were obtained by ultraviolet (UV) or near-UV light and low voltage electron beam (0.5-5 kV) excitation. The photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties were investigated by changing the variation of Tm3+ or Er3+ concentrations and the acceleration voltage, respectively. The CGS:Tm3+ phosphors exhibited the blue emission due to 1D2→3F4 transition, while the CGS:Er3+ phosphors showed the green emission due to 4S3/2→4I15/2 transition. The color purity and chromaticity coordinates of the fabricated phosphors are comparable to or better than those of standard phosphors for lighting or imaging devices. |
