“…The decay curves of the Ca 2 LaHf 2 Al 3 O 12 : x Eu 3+ phosphors are displayed in Figure f, which can be well-fitted using the following single-exponential formula − where I is the emission intensity at time t ; I 0 refers to the initial emission intensity; A is a constant; and τ represents the decay lifetime. Then, the values of decay lifetimes of the Ca 2 LaHf 2 Al 3 O 12 : x Eu 3+ samples were calculated to be 2.159, 2.133, 2.071, 2.128, 1.989, 1.874, 1.754, 1.545, and 1.386 ms for x = 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%, respectively.…”
