In this review we have studied number of research papers related to white light emission from Dy3+ doped different host matrices. It is observed that most of the Dy3+doped aluminates, silicates, borates etc., emitted blue, green and red colour with specific intensities so that CIE coordinates, appeared near to white light. Correlated Colour Temperature(CCT) values of these phosphors expressed that the white light emission produced, was adaptable to human eyes. Dy3+ ions act as activator in each case. Four peaks at approximately 480,575, 670, and 757 nm could be seen in most of the Dy3+ doped phosphors. Expected transition responsible for these peaks are 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 (Blue Colour), 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 (Green-Yellow Colour), 4F9/2 → 6H11/2 (Red Colour) and 4F9/2 → 6H9/2(Brownish Red Colour). Few of the discussed phosphors exhibited long phosphorescence, starting from several minutes to few hours. Mechanism responsible for long lasting white light emission was also discussed. Five different factors, to recognize the phosphors for its suitability as commercial white light phosphor have been discussed.
In the present investigation dysprosium doped strontium aluminate phosphor was prepared by combustion synthesis method. The crystal structure of the prepared phosphor was consistent with standard monoclinic phase with a space group P2 1 . According to the TEM analysis, the particle size was found to be in the nanometer range. The trap parameters which are mainly activation energy (E), frequency factor (s) and order of the kinetics (b) were evaluated by using the peak shape method. Under the ultraviolet (365 nm) excitation, photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed characteristic emission bands at 480 (blue), 573 (yellow) and 670 nm (red) due to 4
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.
