摘要
This work reports on the phase formation during a solid-state reaction of Eu3+-doped garnets with the general formula A(3)B(2)Ge(3)O(12) (A = Ca, Sr and B = Ga, In, Y) and their luminescent properties. It is shown by XRD and DTA/TG experiments that the garnet-phase formation is completed at 1100-1200 degrees C. Moreover, it turned out that the position of the oxygen to europium charge-transfer band and the intensity of the forbidden 4f-4f transitions of Eu3+ is dependent on the covalent interaction between the Eu3+ activator and the surrounding oxygen anions. The investigated red-emitting luminescent materials show high lumen equivalents and deep red emission at the same time, which makes them attractive for the application in LEDs (light emitting diodes), in particular for near UV-emitting LEDs.
