“…Presently, the main commercial red phosphor for near-UV-LED is Y 2 O 2 S:Eu 3+ [3][4]. However, the sulfide red phosphor is chemically unstable and the absorption efficiency in the near-UV-region is not desirable compared to that of the blue (BaMgAl 10 O 17 :Eu 2+ ) [5,6] and the green (ZnS:(Cu + , Al 3+ )) [7] phosphors. Therefore, more attention has been paid to the investigation of the red emitting materials using near-UV-LED as the excitation source in the past few years [8][9][10][11], and it is significant to develop new stable phosphors that emit a more intense component in the red region.…”
