Abstract

Luminescence properties of the yellow-emitting (Ca 2Lu 1-xCe x)(ScMg)Si 3O 12 (CLSM:xCe 3+ x = 0.01-0.15) phosphor are investigated for various Ce 3+ concentrations. Different Ce 3+ emission sites and energy transfers between them are observed, resulting in a red shift of the emission spectra from 530 to 575 nm with increasing x from 0.01 to 0.15. Combining with blue (460 nm) InGaN LEDs, CLSM:Ce 3+ shows excellent performances for phosphor-converted white LEDs with higher color rendering index R a of 87.4-87.9 and lower color temperature T C of 5034-5814 K, especially for warm pcWLEDs with a high color rendering (R a > 80) and a low color temperature (T C < 4000 K). Thermal quenching behaviors depending on Ce 3+ concentrations and temperatures are discussed.
