To the best of our knowledge, we have successfully fabricated a novel transparent ceramic phosphor of Pr-doped Ba (Sn, Zr, Mg, Ta) O (Pr:BMT) via a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The in-line transmittance of 59% at 650 nm was measured. The Pr:BMT ceramic phosphor can emit 650 nm red light excited by 447 nm blue light. The ceramic phosphor can still work at 383 K. The activation energy was calculated to be 0.17 eV. The efficiency of the ceramic phosphor is twice that of its powder phosphor. The Pr:BMT ceramic phosphor showed good thermal stability and enhanced the chromaticity of its white LEDs, which make it a promising red phosphor for lighting.
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.
