Abstract
Novel phosphors Na3KMg7(PO4)6: RE3+ (RE = Eu, Dy, Tb) were successfully synthesized via a high temperature solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) excitation and emission spectra, decay lifetimes and temperature-dependent PL emission spectra were utilized to characterize these as-synthesized samples. Under UV light excitation, Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Eu3+, Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Dy3+, and Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Tb3+ exhibited the characteristic emission of Eu3+ at 696 nm (the 5D0→7F4 transition), Dy3+ at 478 nm (the 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 transition) and 572 nm (the 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 transition), and Tb3+ at 540 nm (the 5D4→7F5 transition), respectively. The emission bands of Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Eu3+ matched well with the photosensitive pigments phytochrome PR and PFR. The concentration quenching of Na3KMg7(PO4)6: RE3+ (RE = Eu, Dy, Tb) were attributed to be the dipole-quadrupole, dipole-dipole and dipole-dipole electric multipole interactions, respectively. These phosphors exhibited good thermal stability and maintained above 85 % of their room-temperature emission intensities at 453 K. These results demonstrated that Na3KMg7(PO4)6: RE3+ (RE = Eu, Dy, Tb) as novel multi-color emitting phosphors have a great potential application in white LED and indoor plant growth.
