Abstract
A novel reddish-orange emitting 2Ba2-xO-B2O3-P2O5:xEu3+ (x= 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12 and 0.14 mol%) phosphor with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions were synthesized through high temperature solid-state reaction technique. The crystal structure has been studied by X-ray diffraction technique for all the concentrations of Eu3+ ions. The morphology and elemental analysis of the optimal ∼0.1 mol% concentration was examined by the SEM-EDS images. The functional groups were analysed by the FTIR characterization technique. The thermal properties were studied by the TGA-DSC analysis. The energy band gap of all the samples were analysed by using UV–VIS DRS technique. The photoluminescence properties of BaBPO5:Eu3+ phosphor with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions were investigated at λem = 611 nm and λex = 394 nm. Variation in emission intensity with Eu3+ ion concentrations, phonon side bands, multi-phonon relaxation rate and energy transfer mechanisms were studied. The BaBPO5:Eu3+ phosphors exhibit characteristic emission peaks corresponding to 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions of Eu3+ ions under n-UV excitation. Among all the transitions, 5D0 → 7F1 (593 nm) transition shows higher intensity and asymmetric ratio (R21) for all concentrations of Eu3+ ions were calculated. The lifetimes of 5D0 level of Eu3+ ions in BaBPO5: Eu3+ phosphor were calculated by using fluorescent decay curve analysis. The CIE color coordinates reveal, reddish-orange emission in the low CCT range. These findings imply that BaBPO5: 0.1Eu3+ phosphor is a promising candidate for solid-state lighting applications as well as phosphor-converted warm w-LEDs.
