Abstract:
A new efficient phosphor, A9B(VO4)7 [A = Ca, Sr, Ba and B = La, Gd] has been synthesized by the solid-state method at high temperature. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of the compound. Photoluminescence excitation measurements show that the phosphor can be efficiently excited by near-ultraviolet light from 300 nm to 400 nm to realize emission covering the 397-647 nm region of visible spectrum. Therefore, newly synthesized novel phosphor may be useful as green-emitting phosphor in solid-state lighting.
