Abstract:

In the Li2O-M2O5-TiO2 system, Li1+x-yM1-x-3yTix+4yO3 (M = Nb, or Ta, 0.06 ≤ x 0.33, 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.175 (LMT) forms a superstructure, known as smart material. The superstructure is formed by periodical insertion of a corundum-type intergrowth layer of [Ti2O3]2+ in a matrix having a trigonal structure during the grain growth. To apply this unique structure as a host material of phosphor, new phosphors doped with Mn4+ ion with a red emission colour, which had a broad peak around 685 nm excited by 493 nm. In order to improve the PL intensity, we investigated the compositions, Mn4+ ratio and crystal structure. Results showed that PL intensity was closely related to Mn4+ ratio and its crystal structure.
