Abstract
Transparent ceramics with ultra-wide emission spectra are widely considered as the next-generation color converters for high color rendering white light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). Herein, a novel Ce3+:Lu3Al5O12-Mn4+:K2SiF6-Y3+:CaF2 transparent ceramic phosphor was prepared by the cold sintering method. The samples sintered at 250 °C and 175 MPa exhibit considerable visible transmittance (about 43%) and uniform grain distribution with no interfacial reaction. When excited at 460 nm, the samples exhibit both broad green emission bands (Ce3+: 5d → 4 f) and sharp red peaks (Mn4+: 2Eg → 4A2g), possessing over 90% internal quantum efficiencies and quite small thermal quenching. The assembled white LED exhibits luminous efficiency (LE) of 96.4 lm/W and color rendering index (CRI) of 94.5, while the reflection-type white LD shows LE of 207.4 lm/W and CRI of 85.0. It demonstrates that the Ce3+:Lu3Al5O12-Mn4+:K2SiF6-Y3+:CaF2 transparent ceramics exhibit great potential in the high-power LED/LD lighting.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
