The structural and luminescence properties of divalent europium ion-doped barium borophosphate

A series of BaBPO5 phosphor samples doped with different concentration of Eu2+ ions, up to 0.6 mol % were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The mixtures of (NH4)2HPO4, BaCO3, H3BO3 and Eu2O3were heated in pure argon atmosphere at 850°C where the reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ ions occurred. The...

The PL results show that the undoped sample does not have distinct luminescence characteristic while the samples doped with Eu2+ ions have broad emission band in violet region of 350 – 420 nm centered at 383 nm which is attributable to transition of configuration state 4f6 5d1  4f7 of the Eu2+ ions. The emission intensity is affected by the concentration of Eu2+ where optimum intensity was observed for 0.2 mol % of Eu2+ ions.
