Luminescent Characteristics of Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ Green Phosphors
Abstract:
Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ (0.03 < or = x < or = 0.12) green phosphors are prepared by solution combustion method. The photoluminescence properties of the Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ phosphors are studied as a function of Tb3+ concentration. The Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ phosphors crystallize in a hexagonal crystal structure. The excitation spectra consist of two broad bands with maxima at 238 nm and 265 nm and several weak peaks in the range of 310-500 nm. Strong emission peaks are observed at 484, 540, 589, and 612 nm due to the (5)D4 --> (7)F6, (5)D4 --> (7)F5, (5)D4 --> (7)F4, and (5)D4 --> (7)F3 tran- sitions of the Tb3+, respectively. The emission peak (540 nm) from the (5)D4 --> (7)F3 transition is dominant, indicating green light emission. Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ phosphor shows the strongest green emission intensity. The Ba(1--x)Al2Si2O8:xTb3+ can be considered a promising green phosphor for white LEDs applications.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
