Preparation and spectroscopic properties of Ca₂MgTeO₆:Tm³⁺ blue-emitting tellurate phosphors

Abstract

Various novel Ca2MgTeO6:Tm3+ blue-emitting tellurate materials were synthesized via solid-state reaction. The structure and phase purity of prepared Ca2MgTeO6:xTm3+ (x = 0.0025-0.10 mol) were examined by X-ray powder diffraction. The Ca2MgTeO6:Tm3+ phosphors emit blue emission at 359 nm excitation. The optimum doping concentration was 0.02 mol. The concentration quenching mechanism in the Ca2MgTeO6 host was due to the electric dipole-dipole interaction. The The CIE chromaticity coordinates of Ca2MgTeO6:Tm3+ phosphors located in the blue region. These results validated the Ca2MgTeO6:Tm3+ tellurate phosphor can be used as good blue-emitting candidate for W-LEDs.
