shows stronger blue-green emission with broader excitation in near-UV range. Bright blue-green light from the LED means this phosphor can be observed by the naked eye. Hence, it may have an application in near UV LED chips.
Ca3SiO4Cl2 co-doped with Ce(3+),Eu(2+) was prepared by high temperature reaction. The structure, luminescent properties and the energy transfer process of Ca3SiO4Cl2:Ce(3+),Eu(2+) were investigated. Eu(2+) ions can give enhanced green emission through Ce(3+) → Eu(2+) energy transfer in these phosphors. The green phosphor Ca2.9775SiO4Cl2:0.0045Ce(3+),0.018Eu(2+) showed intense green emission with broader excitation in the near-ultraviolet light range. A green light-emitting diode (LED) based on this phosphor was made, and bright green light from this green LED could be observed by the naked eye under 20 mA current excitation. Hence it is considered to be a good candidate for the green component of a three-band white LED.
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.
