摘要
Rare earth ion Pr3+ was co doped in yellow emitting YAG:Ce nanophosphor to introduce red emission for improving colour rendering property of white LED. Nanocrystalline YAG:Ce, YAG:Ce, Pr was synthesised by a single step auto combustion process. Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of YAG:Ce, Pr nanophosphor, when excited by 460nm blue light, exhibited sharp red emission peaks at 610nm from Pr3+ ions in addition to broad yellow emission from Ce3+ peaking at 540nm due to charge transfer from excited Ce3+ 5d band to P-3(J)/D-1(2) level of Pr3+. Ce3+ (yellow) and Pr3+ (red) emission decays in tens of nanoseconds and microseconds, respectively. Electroluminescence spectra of blue LED with developed phosphor layer shows colour coordinates (0.30, 0.39) close to ideal white light.
