The YAG: Eu 3+ fluorescent glass for NUV(near ultraviolet) white LEDs was obtained firstly by synthesizing Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG): Eu 3+ precursors through a simple co-precipitation method, and then mixing precursor with B 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Na 2 O-BaO glass powder calcined at 1400°C for 2.5 hours. The as-prepared YAG glass-ceramic phosphor was investigated by DTA, XRD, SEM, and photoluminescence (PL). Influence of YAG: Eu 3+ precursor and Eu 3+ doping on excitation and emission spectra also have been studied. The results show that: the phosphor's emission peak located at 393nm is correspond to the 7 F 0 - 5 L 6 transition of Eu 3+ ions, which matches good with UV LED chips; the phosphor gives intense emission at 593nm originating from the 5 D 0 - 7 F 1 transition of Eu 3+ ions. When the YAG precursor is 0.9g and amount of Eu 3+ doped is 0.08, the fluorescence excitation spectra of glass and emission spectra of the peak intensity reach its maximum value. The YAG: Eu 3+ fluorescence glass could be a promising material for the production of near ultraviolet chip white light-emitting diode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
