Abstract

The Eu2+-doped Na2CaMg(P1-xSixO4)2 phosphors were prepared by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The structural and optical effects of Si4+ substitution were investigated with the use of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Raman spectra, luminescence spectra and fluorescence decay curves, etc. The spectral parameters, Stokes shift and Eu2+ substitution sites in Na2CaMg(PO4)2 were discussed by using empirical equations. The results show that Si4+ substitution increases the emission intensity of Eu2+ by ca. 50% at the optimal concentration of x = 0.05. This study can provide a guidance for the development of Eu2+-activated phosphate phosphors for WLEDs.
