Abstract
Blue and green double emitting phosphor, Ce3 and Tb3 co-doped NaSr4(BO3)3, was synthesized in a weak reducing atmosphere by a conventional high temperature solid-state reaction technique. For comparison, Ce3 or Tb3 singly doped NaSr4(BO3)3 was also prepared. The emission and excitation spectra of all samples have been investigated. NaSr 4(BO3)3:Tb3 excitation includes a strong absorption at about 240 nm and some weak sharp lines in near-ultraviolet (n-UV) spectral region. The excitation of Ce3 and Tb3 co-doped NaSr4(BO3)3 shows a strong broad band absorption in the n-UV region from the contribution of Ce3, which makes it suitable for excitation by a n-UV LED chip. The emission of NaSr 4(BO3)3:Ce3,Tb3 consists of a blue emission band from Ce3 and a green emission from Tb 3 under the excitation of n-UV light. Energy transfer between Ce 3 and Tb3 is also discussed, and the relative intensity of blue emission and green emission could be tuned by adjusting the concentration of Ce3 and Tb3. The phosphor NaSr4(BO 3)3:Ce3,Tb3 could be considered as a double emission phosphor for n-UV excited white light-emitting diodes.
