“…It has also been proved that phosphors with higher QYs can be obtained by adding alkali carbonates or by using an appropriate ratio of Si precursors in the SrSi 2 N 2 O 2 :Eu synthesis, although the phase compositions of the resultant materials are complex. The presence of additional phases can affect the shape and position of the luminescence spectrum of the phosphor, as well.…”
The addition of Mn-O-based
compounds during the solid-state synthesis
of SrSi2N2O2:Eu2+ significantly
increases the luminescence intensity of this phosphor. Hitherto, this
effect was explained as the energy transfer between Eu2+ and Mn2+ ions. Using electron paramagnetic resonance
and optical techniques, we show that Mn is not incorporated into the
SrSi2N2O2 host; nevertheless, attempts
to dope improve the luminescence quantum yield (QY) of this compound.
Moreover, we found that codoping exertion with Mn ions in the synthesis
process may also cause the enhancement of persistent luminescence
and mechanoluminescence. It is also shown that the structure of the
primary defects in SrSi2N2O2:Eu2+ does not change by adding Mn during the synthesis of this
oxynitridosilicate, except their concentration. The changes of the
radiative decay time of Eu2+ induced by attempts of codoping
are responsible for the observed increase of the luminescence QY of
this phosphor.

Due to the diversity of structure and composition and the unique coordination environment, nitride materials enable the doped activator ions to possess compelling luminescence characteristics, such as rich emission colors, favorable stability and tunable emission spectra. Here, novel SrLuSi4N7:Ce3+,Tb3+ nitride phosphors were successfully synthesized by a modified carbothermal reduction and nitridation method at atmospheric pressure. SrLuSi4N7 (SLSN) belongs to hexagonal symmetry, with space group P63mc, and its crystal structure is composed of the basic building block with corner‐sharing [SiN4] tetrahedron. Under 365 nm excitation, SLSN:Ce3+ exhibits a broad emission band peaking at 450 nm with a full width at half‐maximum (FWHM) of 92 nm and the most forceful intensity obtained at the Ce3+ concentration amount of 0.04. On the basis of the efficient energy transfer, SLSN:Ce3+,Tb3+ exhibits color‐tunable emission from blue (450 nm) to green (545 nm). Our results indicate that SLSN nitride phosphor is a promising candidate for near‐ultraviolet (n‐UV) based white LEDs.
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.
