Abstract
Phosphor-converted LEDs (pc-LEDs) emitting in the visible region based on undoped tellurate double perovskites have not been explored till now. A cyan-emitting pc-LED is fabricated using the host Ba2MgTeO6 double perovskite for the first time. The as-fabricated cyan LED emits light in the visible region with the maximum emission at 484 nm. The obtained CIE coordinates of (0.26, 0.37) ensure a cyan light, and LED exhibits superior color stability even at higher input drive current. An attempt to develop a white emitting phosphor was done by substituting Eu3+ ions into the Ba2MgTeO6 matrix. Followed by this, a phosphor converted LED emitting in the bluish white region was fabricated by combining near UV chip and BMTO: 0.02 Eu3+ phosphor. Further, an inherent near-infrared (NIR) luminescence in Ba2MgTeO6 is also discovered and it originates from the 3T1u, 3A1u – 1A1g electronic transitions within the Te4+ ions. Upon 367 nm excitation, Ba2MgTeO6 exhibits strong broadband NIR emission, which spans from 780 nm to 1150 nm with a maximum emission at 889 nm and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 115 nm. Finally, an efficient pc-LED emitting in the NIR region is fabricated using the intrinsic near-infrared luminescence observed in the Ba2MgTeO6 phosphor. The pc-LED covering the near infrared region can be potentially used for various applications, including plant cultivation, biosensors, night vision cameras, etc.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
