Abstract

We report an intense full-color emission originating from ⁵D_0,1,2,3 to ⁷F_0,1,2,3,4 transitions of Eu³⁺ in CaSc₂O₄ upon 395 nm excitation. The emission spectra vary with increasing Eu³⁺ concentration, demonstrating tunable color coordinates from white to red region in the CIE chromaticity diagram. Considering the relaxation from ⁵D_J to ⁵D_J-1 through cross energy transfer, the Eu³⁺ concentration dependent emission spectra are well simulated based on the analysis of steady state rate equations and the measured lifetimes of the ⁵D_J levels. It is suggested that CaSc ₂O₄:Eu³⁺ could be a potential single-phased full-color emitting phosphor for near-ultraviolet InGaN chip pumped white light emitting diodes.
