“…Currently, BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu 2+ (BAM: Eu 2+ ) has been regarded as the preferred blue-emitting phosphor for w-LEDs based on the n-UV LED, but BAM shows a poor absorption band around near-UV range, which is not well suitable for current available commercial n-UV emitting InGaN chips [7]. In addition, the synthesis of BAM: Eu 2+ is usually at temperature as high as 1300-1600 • C for several hours, which leads to the increase of w-LEDs cost [8]. Thus, it is necessary to search for new blue phosphors those can be efficiently excited in the n-UV range, especially near 400 nm to enhance the luminous efficiency.…”
