Laser‐driven phosphor‐converted white light sources are highly desirable for their unprecedented energy efficiency and lighting quality. However, important challenges remain due to a lack of efficient and stable red‐emitting materials. Here Eu2+‐activated oxide‐based double perovskites are explored as red emitters with thermally stable photoluminescence. Sr3TaO5.5:Eu2+ ceramics exhibit a red emission band peaking at 620 nm upon blue laser pumping owing to the Eu2+ occupation at highly ordered substitutional lattice sites. A constructed laser‐driven white light wheel under an incident power density of 19.2 W mm−2 presents a record luminous flux of 1115 lm with an excellent color rendering index of 90. This study invigorates the development of Eu2+‐activated oxide‐based ceramics with thermally stable luminescence for laser‐pumped lighting and display applications.
Novel manganese phases termed Perovskite ζ-Mn2O3 and Ilmenite ε-Mn2O3 have been synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. We employ x-ray absorption and x-ray emission spectroscopy techniques to explore the electronic...
The local environments of Co and Zn dopants in SnO2, a diluted magnetic semiconductor system, are studied using X-ray spectroscopy and crystal field calculations, yielding evidence that the ferromagnetism is mediated by oxygen vacancies.
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.
