“…The spectrum of the product synthesized at a stoichiometric Si ratio of 0.5 (run 6) agreed with the spectrum of typical green-emitting ZSM that is based on the spin-forbidden transition from the lowest excited state 4 T 1 ( 4 G) to the ground state 6 A 1 ( 6 S) of 3d 5 electrons in Mn 2+ ion [31,32]. At Si ratios less than 0.5 (runs 1-5), VUV-PL intensities decreased, but the shape of the spectra were similar to that of product at the Si [27,30,33,34] increased as the Si ratio progressed. At Si ratios more than 0.64 (runs 9-12), two peaks in the VUV-PL spectra appeared at around 525 and 560 nm, respectively.…”
