Orange-red-emitting Eu3+-doped Ca9Gd(PO4)7 phosphors have been obtained by a sol-gel technique. These phosphors, excited by UV (270 nm) and near UV light (394 nm), emit orange-red light in the range of 580–710 nm. The Ca9Gd(PO4)7:7 mol% Eu3+ phosphor annealed at 1100 °C shows the highest PL intensity. Judd-Ofelt analysis reveals that the neighbor surroundings of Eu3+ ions are asymmetric, and the lowest asymmetry value is found at the dopant ratio of 7 mol%. The optimal phosphor excited by the wavelength of 394 nm displays an excellent thermal stability (∼76.4 % at 160 °C) with an activation energy of 0.163 eV. The corresponding CIE chromaticity coordinates (x; y) and color purity are ... |
