Phase structure and temperature dependent luminescence properties of Sr2LiSiO4F:Eu2+ and Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+ phosphors

Green-emitting Sr2LiSiO4F:Eu2+ and blue-emitting Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+ phosphors were synthesized by the conventional high temperature solid-state route, respectively. Their structures and photoluminescence properties were comparatively investigated. It was found that the mixture phases of Sr2MgSi2O7 and SrF2 were obtained when a part of Sr2+ in Sr2LiSiO4F was replaced by some amount of Mg2+ in order to design the possible SrMgLiSiO4F:Eu2+ phosphor. Based on the photoluminescence analysis, Sr2LiSiO4F:Eu2+ phosphor exhibited a green broad emission band of main peak at 513 nm under the excitation of 365 nm, while the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+ and SrMgLiSiO4F:Eu2+ phosphor showed blue emission centered at 467 nm. The temperature dependent photoluminescence properties and room temperature decay time for the three kinds of phosphors were also discussed in this paper.
