Control of green emitting intermediate phases in (Ba, Sr)3MgSi2O8:Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphors for dual-bands or tri-bands emission

(Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphors with 430/505/660   nm tri-bands or 430/660   nm dual-bands emission were demonstrated in this work by controlling the appearence or not of green emitting intermediate phases, (Ba,Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ . Through varying the stoichiometric amount of SiO 2 in precursor, the coexistence of green emitting intermediate phase tended to be sensitive and diversified. Laser Microzone Raman spectrum was employed to look insight into the lattice stretch and the preferential occupation sites of Ba 2+ ions in Sr 3 MgSi 2 O 8 lattices. The local structure and the crystal field of Eu 2+ luminescent centers were found to be disturbed by distorted arrangement of cross-linked [MgO 6 ] octahedra and [SiO 4 ] tetrahedra. This mechanism approach provided some new insights to further understanding the adjustment strategy of green emitting intermediate phases in (Ba,Sr) 3 MgSi 2 O 8 :Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ phosphor potentially applied as red/blue dual-bands emitting or red/green/blue tri-bands emitting materials.
