A novel orange-red emitting Ba2Ca(BO3)2:Sm3+ phosphor to fill the amber gap in LEDs: Synthesis, structural and luminescence characterizations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present paper reports on the structural and luminescent properties of un-doped and Sm3þ doped Ba2Ca(BO3)2 phosphors synthesized by the conventional solid state method. For structural characterizations, the X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and Rietveld refinement method were used. The FTIR spectrum was composed of basic BO3 and BO4 structural units of borates. The Sm3þ doped phosphors under 402 nm (6H5/2/4L13/2) excitation, showed an orange red emission corresponding to the 601 nm (4G5/2 / 6H7/2) transition of the Sm3þ ion. An increase in the PL emission intensity was observed up to 2 mol % with the increase in Sm3þ ions concentration. The critical distance between the Sm3þ e Sm3þ ions were found to be 24.36 Å. Moreover, the phosphors decaytime and optical bandgap at different concentration of Sm3þ ion also have been discussed in details. All the results show that Ba2Ca(BO3)2:Sm3þ phosphor may be used with a near ultraviolet (n-UV) chip to fill the amber gap in light emitting diodes (LEDs).
