Abstract
The yellow-emitting phosphor [Ca 3-(x0.06)Lu xCe 0.06](Sc 2-yMg y)Si 3O 12 obtained from Lu 3+ and Mg 2 co-modified green-emitting silicate garnet Ca 3Sc 2Si 3O 12:Ce 3+ (CSS:Ce 3+) exhibits promising applications for white LEDs. In this paper, we discuss the effect of charge balance on the garnet structure formation. The changes of bond length and covalence caused by the replacement of Lu 3+ and Mg 2 for Ca 2 and Sc 3+ are analyzed. The shift of the Ce 3+ emission and excitation can be attributed to the combined results from crystal field splitting effect and centroid shift of Ce 3+ 5d levels. Thermal stability is analyzed according to configurational coordinate diagram.
