Pyrochlore phosphors have shown their worth in modern day lighting in the last few years. Colour tunability of the phosphor is one of the modern techniques used to obtain white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs). In the proposed work, Y2Zr2O7:Sm3+,Eu3+ phosphors were investigated for WLED applications as well as display devices. A convectional solid‐state diffusion method was used to synthesize the proposed phosphors. X‐ray diffraction of the proposed phosphors was performed and compared with the standard Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. The crystal structure of the sample was cubic in nature, obtained from Rietveld refinement. Vibrational and morphological studies on the samples were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The photoluminescence study of the colour tunable phosphor showed the characteristic peak of Sm3+ together with the two sharp peaks of Eu3+ ions. Greenish yellow to red colour tunability was observed in the proposed phosphor with enhancement of Eu3+ ions. All these results showed the worth of this sample for WLEDs applications as well as in display devices.
Borochlorate phosphors have shown their worth in modern day lighting over the last few years. Colour tunability of the phosphor is a modern techniques used to obtain white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). In the proposed work, Sm 3+ ,Eu 2+ -activated/co-activated Ba 2 AlB 4 O 7 Cl phosphors were investigated for WLED applications as well as display devices. A convectional solid-state diffusion method was used to synthesize the proposed phosphors. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the proposed phosphors confirmed the crystalline nature of the sample. Morphological studies on the samples were carried out using scanning electron microscopy analysis. A photoluminescence study of the colour tunable phosphor showed the characteristic peak of Sm 3+ together with one broad peak for Eu 2+ ions. Red to blue colour tunability was observed in the proposed phosphor with enhancement of Eu 2+ ions. All these results showed the worth of this sample in WLED applications as well as in display devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
