Abstract

Lu modified (Ca2.94-xLuxCe0.06) (ScMg)Si3O12 (CLSMS:Ce3+) yellow emitting phosphors are prepared by solid-state reaction. The effects of Lu content on crystal phase formation, luminescence properties and temperature characteristics are studied. It is revealed that the Lu induced luminescent enhancement can be attributed to the increase of absorbance of Ce3+ rather than the internal quantum efficiency. Intense and broadband emission is realized by controlling the Lu content to obtain a pure CLSMS crystal phase. The maximum luminescence intensity is obtained at x=0.54, which is as high as 156% of the Lu free phosphor. Combining the present phosphor with a blue LED chip, a white LED with an excellent color rendering index of 86 and high luminous efficiency of 86 lm·W-1 is obtained.
