Structural and optical properties of pekovite and maleevite phosphor for white led applications

Polycrystalline pekovite (SrB2Si2O8) and maleevite (BaB2Si2O8) phosphor doped with Eu and/or Dy ions of nominal composition (25-a-b)MO-25B2O3-50SiO2: aEu2O3, bDy2O3 where M = (Sr, Ba) and a, b = 1 or 0 mol% were synthesized via solid state reaction to study their structural and optical properties fo...

The maleevite and pekovite phosphor were sintered at temperature of 950 and 1000 oC respectively for 5 hours in air and CO. The XRD results revealed that the incorporations of dopants caused the mean crystallite sizes to increase from 18.01 – 115.93 nm indicating improved crystallinity which is in orthorhombic structure and this was confirmed by SEM. The rare earth dopants were incorporated in the crystal and were confirmed by EDAX. FT-IR and FT-RAMAN spectra revealed the presence of borosilicate superstructure. Both danburite breathing mode along with multiple vibrational modes in FT-IR were found to be red-shifted when strontium were replaced with barium due to the larger ionic radii which increased Ba-O bond length. UV-VIS-NIR diffused reflectance spectra were collected and the optical band gaps of the samples were determined which were in the ranges 3.23 – 4.25 eV in pekovite and 3.42 – 3.7 eV in maleevite samples. Photoluminescence spectra of Eu3+ and Dy3+ ions were obtained from UV excitation which showed intense emission peaks at 483 and 575 nm from Dy3+ along with 590 and 613 nm from Eu3+ and the dopant site symmetry ratios were calculated. Combinations of blue, green and red emission from Eu3+ and Dy3+ showed its potential as a tune-able white light phosphor. Emissions at ~435 nm from Eu2+ were detected in all CO sintered phosphor and air sintered pekovite, exhibiting the unusual reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ in air.
