In order to obtain a single-host-white-light phosphor,a series of Ba1.8-w-x-y-zSrwLi0.4-xCexEuyMnzSiO4(BSLS:Ce3+,Eu2+,Mn2+)powder samples were synthesized via high temperature solid-state reaction.The structure and photoluminescence properties were investigated.Under ultraviolet excitation,the emission spectra contained three bands:the 370-470 nm blue band,the 470-570 nm green band and the 570-700 nm red band,which arose from the 5d→4f transitions of Ce3+ and Eu2+,and the 4T1→6A1 transition of Mn2+,respectively.The excitation spectra of the emissions of Ce3+ and Mn2+ ions showed the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Mn2+.White light emission was obtained from the tri-doped samples of appropriate doping concentration under 310-360 nm excitation.
