Matrix induced synthesis of Y3Al5O12: Ce phosphor through the Pechini method
-
Kai Zhang
Abstract
Trivalent cerium actived yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG: Ce) phosphor was prepared using the Pechini method. Phase transition during calcination was investigated through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the powders directly transform into the pure YAG phase at 80°C. The dimension of phosphor calcined at 1200°C is micro-scale, which consists of nanometer scale primary particles. The effect of Ce doping content and calcination temperature on the luminescence properties is also discussed. The maximum emission is obtained for about 1 at.% Ce additions. The concentration quench effect is observed when Ce content increases beyond this limit. With the increment of calcination temperature, the emission intensity and lifetime increase.
