Abstract
This study prepared a series of orange-red Ba3Ga2Ge4O14 (BGG): xSm3+ (x = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 %) phosphors via a high temperature solid-state method. The X-ray diffraction results confirmed the high phase purity of fabricated products. The diffuse reflection spectra showed that the optical band gap of this system was about 4.29 eV. Under an excitation wavelength of 401 nm, the strongest red-orange emission occurred at 599 nm (4G5/2 → 6H7/2). The optimal doping concentration of Sm3+ in BGG was determined to be 3 % with a color purity of 99.28 %. Thermal analysis revealed the exceptional thermal stability of BGG: 3 %Sm3+. The internal quantum efficiency of BGG: 3 %Sm3+ phosphor was measured to be 33.41 %. LEDs packaged with this phosphor had a color rendering index of 92.85, which was far higher than that of traditional LEDs. Using BGG: 3 %Sm3+ phosphor encapsulation for white LEDs confirmed its potential applications in white LEDs, providing new option for the development of LED applications.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
