In this paper, a novel single-phased white light emitting phosphor Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+ was prepared successfully via the high temperature solid state reaction. The obtained Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+ phosphor exhibits a broad excitation band ranging from 200 to 450 nm and a blue light emission band peaking at 480 nm, originating from 4f7 ↔ 4f65 d1 (f-d) electric dipole allowed transitions of Eu2+ ions. Due to the energy transfer from Eu2+ to Mn2+ ions, the co-doped Eu2+ ions in the Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphors markedly enhances the luminescence intensity of Mn2+ ions, providing highly attractive tunable color. The luminescent mechanism invoking the energy transfer between Eu2+ ions and Mn2+ ions has been certified to be dipole–quadrupole interaction predominantly through the investigations of the luminescence spectra and the fluorescence decay curves. Our results show that the novel Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphor is a very promising candidate for UV white light emitting diodes.
本文通过高温固态反应成功制备了一种新型单相白光发光荧光粉Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+。得到的 Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+ 荧光粉具有 200 至 450 nm 的宽激发带和峰值为 480 nm 的蓝光发射带,这源于 Eu2+ 离子的 4f7 ↔ 4f65 d1 (f-d) 电偶极允许跃迁。由于 Eu2+ 离子向 Mn2+ 离子的能量转移,Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+ 荧光粉中的共掺杂 Eu2+ 离子显著增强了 Mn2+ 离子的发光强度,提供了极具吸引力的可调颜色。通过对发光光谱和荧光衰减曲线的研究,证明 Eu2+离子和 Mn2+离子之间的能量转移发光机制主要是偶极-四极相互作用。我们的研究结果表明,新型 Na2Ca4Mg2Si4O15:Eu2+, Mn2+ 荧光粉是一种非常有前途的紫外白光发光二极管候选材料。
