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...
