Ba3LaNa(PO4)3F:Tm^3+,Dy^3+:A tunable blue-white color emitting phosphor via energy transfer for UV white LEDs

摘要

A series of Tm^3+/Dy^3+co-doped Ba3 LaNa(PO4)3 F(BLNPF) phosphors were synthesized successfully via a high-temperature solid-reaction,and luminescence properties were investigated.Upon near violet excitation,BLNPF:Tm^3+,Dy^3+ phosphors exhibit Tm^3+:^1D2-^3 F4 and Dy^3+:^4 F(9/2)-^6 HJ(J=15/2,13/2,11/2)transitions with diffe rent luminescence intensity.The emitting color of the obtained products was found to shift from blue to white as a result of efficient energy transfer(ET) from Tm^3+to Dy^3+ions.According to photoluminescence emission intensity,the positive effect of activator on ET efficiency was calculated and the maximum ET efficiency was found around 72.6% with Dy^3+ concentration was 0.04.By means of Dexter's theoretical model,furthermore,dipole-dipole interaction was confirmed as the mechanism of energy transfer from Tm^3+ to Dy^3+ ions.The results suggested that BLNPF:Tm^3+,Dy^3+ phosphor might be a promising single-phased white-light-emitting phosphor for UV white-light LED.
