Improving Blue Phosphor BAM:Eu for Fluorescent and LED Lighting

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of various fluoride fluxes on the crystallization of blue phosphor BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ were characterized using a wide panel of experimental methods. LiF appeared as the most efficient, with a significant increase of the photoluminescence yield under excitation at 280 nm. Besides, the recrystallization resulted in a redistribution of the dopant among the three crystallographic sites, leading to a strong increase of the excitation in the near-UV domain. This allowed the emission to increase by 40 % under a 400 nm irradiation, typically of interest for possible LED-blue phosphor systems. At last, the shaping into hexagonal single crystals allowed both a reduction of the thermal degradation under air, and the discovery of a novel regeneration process at moderate temperature.
