Green phosphors K 2 BaW 2 O 8 :Tb 3+ (1.0 mol%) were synthesized by solid state reaction method. Differential thermal analysis was applied to trace the reaction processes. Three endothermic values of 95, 706, and 1055 o C correspond to the loss of absorbed water, the release of carbon dioxide, and the beginning of the melting point, respectively. The phase purity of the powders was examined using powder X-ray diffraction(XRD). Two strong excitation bands in the wavelength region of 200-310 nm were found to be due to the WO 4 2− exciton transition and the 4f-5d transition of Tb 3+ in K 2 BaW 2 O 8. The excitation spectrum presents several lines in the range of 310-380 nm; these are assigned to the 4f-4f transitions of the Tb 3+ ion. The strong emission line at around 550 nm, due to the 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 transition, is observed together with weak lines of the 5 D 4 → 7 F J (J = 3, 4, and 6) transitions. A broad emission band peaking at 530 nm is observed at 10 K, while it disappears at room temperature. The decay times of Tb 3+ 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 emission are estimated to be 4.8 and 1.4 ms, respectively, at 10 and 295 K; those of the WO 4 2− exciton emissions are 22 and 0.92 µs at 10 and 200 K, respectively.
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.
