Eu 2+ ) phosphors were successfully synthesized by an amorphous metal complex method using propylene glycol-modified silane (PGMS) and heat-treatment under a reduced atmosphere at 1400 °C. The photoluminescence (PL) of Ca 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ was studied as a function of total Eu concentration. Furthermore, Ca 3 MgSi 2 O 8 with Eu 2+ concentrations at 1.030 % for Ca exhibited a blue-green emission peaking at approximately 480 nm. In contrast, with increasing Eu 2+ concentration up to 50 % for Ca, the emission peak of Ca 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ phosphors exhibited a redshift to 521 nm with green emissions. The redshift of emissions in Ca 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ phosphors could be attributed to the strong electrostatic interactions related to the Eu 2+ ions occupying the peculiar Ca sites.
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.
