Summary: | Host lattice Ba{sub 3}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}} oxonitridosilicates have been synthesized by the traditional solid state reaction method. The lattice structure is based on layers of vertex-linked SiO{sub 4} tetrahedrons and Ba{sup 2+} ions, where each Ba{sup 2+} ion is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms forming distorted square antiprisms. Under an excitation wavelength of 365 nm, Ba{sub 3}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}}:Eu{sup 2+} and Ba{sub 3}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}}:Eu{sup 2+},Ce{sup 3+} show broad emission bands from about 400-620 nm, with maxima at about 480 nm and half-peak width of around 130 nm. The emission intensity is strongly enhanced by co-doping Ce{sup 3+} ions into the Ba{sub 3}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}}:Eu{sup 2+} phosphor, which could be explained by energy transfer. The excitation band from the near UV to the blue light region confirms the possibility that Ba{sub 3}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}}:Eu{sup 2+}, Ce{sup 3+} could be used as a phosphor for white LEDs. - Graphical abstract: Emission spectra for Ba{sub 3(1-x-y)}Si{sub 5}O{sub 13-{delta}}N{sub {delta}}/xEu{sup 2+},yCe{sup 3+} (0<=x<=2%,0<=y<=2%) under the excitation wavelength of 365 nm. |
