Luminescence properties of Eu2+ in T-phase Ba1.3Ca0.7SiO4 lattice from multiple crystallographic sites at different temperatures
Eu2+-activated Ba1.3Ca0.7SiO4 phosphor has been synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction method. The optical properties of (Ba1.29Eu0.01)Ca0.7SiO4 are investigated using photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and luminescence decay time measurement between 10 and 523 K. The blue emission band peaking at similar to 448 nm is observed to be asymmetric. It can be divided into three Gaussian bands with maxima at similar to 440 (Eu I), similar to 464 (Eu II) and similar to 503 nm (Eu III), which is in good agreement with that measured from low temperature at 10 K. The temperature dependence of the PL intensity is also measured. The thermal quenching of Ba1.3Ca0.7SiO4:Eu2+ is about 235 degrees C. The PL decay times of 425, 455 and 570 nm emission at 10 K are 0.23, 0.28 and 1.00 mu s. They can be attributed to the lifetimes of Eu I, Eu II and Eu III site, respectively. The decay times of the 425 and 455 nm emission almost remain constant at 10 K and 523 K. The decay times of the emission at 570 nm do not change a lot with increasing temperature up to 300 K, then decrease to 0.2 mu s at 523 K Ba1.3Ca0.7SiO4:Eu2+ is a candidate blue-emitting phosphor for white LEDs.
