- Abstract
- Eu-doped BaSi7N10 phosphors were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reactions and their structural and optical characteristics were investigated. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the phosphor crystallizes in the monoclinic noncentrosymmetric space group, Pc (no. 7). The second-harmonic generation measurements on BaSi7N10 using 1064 nm radiation reveal frequency doubling efficiency similar to that of KH2PO4 (KDP). With respect to the doped BaSi7N10, the SHG efficiencies decrease with Eu2+ doping. The particle size-dependent SHG characteristics revealed that BaSi7N10 is a type-1 nonphase matchable material. The phosphor shows photoluminescence (PL) emission at 475 nm, which could be attributed to the 4f(6) 5d -> 4f(7) transition in the Eu2+ ion and the peak emission wavelength does not shift with more Eu2+ addition. The photoluminescent excitation (PLE) spectra show broad excitation in the range 250-400 nm peaking at 332 nm. The temperature-dependent PL emission exhibits small thermal quenching of the phosphor with thermal activation energy Delta E = 0.18 eV for the Ba0.92Eu0.08Si7N10 phosphor. The phosphor exhibits good surface morphology with uniformly hexagonal-shaped particles with an average size of 15 mu m. The purity of emission was gauged by CIE coordinates (x, y) and the coordinates for the phosphor exhibiting maximum luminescence intensity were (0.18, 0.29).
