“…Under 358 nm excitation, the IQE of the BGT:0.6%Mn 4+ sample was measured using an integrating sphere, as shown in Figure a, which could be calculated by the following equation where η is the IQE; L S is the emission spectrum of the sample; and E S and E R are the spectra of the excitation light with the BGT:0.6%Mn 4+ sample and only with BaSO 4 reference, respectively. Thus, the calculated IQE was 44%, which was higher than that of the recently reported Mn 4+ -activated red-emitting phosphors, such as Mg 7 Ga 2 GeO 12 :Mn 4+ (IQE: 28.13%), La(MgTi) 1/2 O 3 :Mn 4+ (IQE: 27.2%), and SrLaScO 4 :Mn 4+ (IQE: 12.2%). − Furthermore, we also measured the IQEs for other samples of BGT: x Mn 4+ phosphors using the same integrating sphere method. As shown in Figure b, the IQE values of BGT: x Mn 4+ phosphors ( x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 mol %) under 358 nm excitation were calculated to be about 62, 52, 44, 41, 32, and 24%, respectively.…”
