Abstract:
The Ca
9Al(Po
4)7:Eu
3+ phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction.It shows four group major emission peaks locating at 589nm and 593nm,612nm,616nm and 619nm,654nm and 688nm respectively that correspond to the

4 typical transition of Eu
3+.The influence of the concentration of Eu
3+ ions to the emission intensity was investigated and the concentration quench was happened when the concentration of Eu
3+ ions was 5%.The role of charge compensation of Li+,Na+ and K+ions to the emission intensity was studied also.It was found that Li+ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the intensity of the emissions.The results show that Ca
9Al(Po
4)7:Eu
3+,Li+ red-emitting phosphor is very suitable for white light emitting diode(w-LED) based on UV InGaN chip.
