Crystal structure, luminescence properties, energy transfer, tunable occupation and thermal properties of a novel color-tunable phosphor NaBa_1−zSr_zB₉O₁₅:xCe³⁺,yMn²⁺

Abstract

A series of color-tunable NaBa1-zSrzB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ phosphors were synthesized by a high temperature solid state method. Luminescence property, energy transfer, thermal stability and cation substitution were investigated in detail. Due to energy transfer, NaBaB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ presents violet to green luminescence and manifest a broad excitation range from 200 to 350 nm. The energy transfer mechanism of Ce3+-Mn2+ is identified as a dipole-dipole interaction. NaBa1-zSrzB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ displays both Ce3+ violet and Mn2+ green and orange emissions under ultraviolet excitation. It is observed that Sr2+ partial substitution for Ba2+ could adjust the ratio of Mn2+ emission intensity in different cation sites, which results from preferred sites' occupation with modification of the crystal structure. Furthermore, increase in temperature can enhance the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Mn2+, which enhances the Mn2+ emission intensity sharply. The highly thermal-sensitive property of NaBa1-zSrzB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ makes it feasible for its potential application in luminescent ratiometric thermometers with wide temperature range.

“…The value was then reduced to 46.2%, and the performance was very similar to the previous emission curves. The concentration quenching effect could be expressed by the critical distance ( ) between adjacent Mn 4+ ions and was evaluated based on Blasse’s formula: where V is the volume of the unit cell, C is the critical concentration of the activator ion, and N is the number of sites in which the Mn 4+ ion can replace within a unit cell. For MGS:1.5% Mn 4+ , C = 1.5%, N = 4, V = 605.24 Å 3 .…”

“…40,41 In contrast, for Mn 2+ ions at octahedral coordination sites with a strong crystal eld yield, a longer wavelength range from orange to red emission should be observed. 42,43 Herein, Mn 2+ ions certainly occupied tetrahedral coordinated Ga 3+ sites surrounded by four oxygen ions. Mn 2+ emission occurs as a narrow band due to weak electric-phonon interactions and low structural relaxation caused by the highlyrigid crystal structure and symmetric coordination environment.…”
