Abstract

Sm3+-activated NaSrPO4 phosphors could be efficiently excited at 403 nm, and exhibited a bright red emission mainly including four wavelength peaks of 565, 600, 646 and 710 nm. The highest emission intensity was found for NaSr 1−x PO4: xSm3+ with a composition of x = 0.007. Concentration quenching was observed as the composition of x exceeds 0.007. The decay time values of NaSr1−x PO 4 : xSm3+ phosphors range from around 2.55 to 3.49 ms. NaSr1−x PO4: xSm3+ phosphor shows a higher thermally stable luminescence and its thermal quenching temperature T 50 was found to be 350°C, which is higher than that of commercial YAG:Ce3+ phosphor and ZnS:(Al, Ag) phosphor. Because NaSr1−x PO4: xSm3+ phosphor features a high colour-rendering index and chemical stability, it is potentially useful as a new scintillation material for white light-emitting diodes.
