Abstract
(Ba,Sr)2SiO4: Eu2+ phosphors with various Eu2+ concentrations and Ba/Sr ratios were synthesized by solid-state reactions and their temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties were studied between 30 and 200 °C. Thermal quenching properties of (Ba1−xSrx)2SiO4: Eu2+ phosphors barely depend on Eu2+ concentrations, but exhibit a complex dependence on Ba/Sr ratios. With the increase of the Sr content, the luminescent thermostability is gradually improved for x<0.5 and then becomes worse as x>0.5. Considering changes in Stokes shifts, emission wavelengths and host lattice bandgaps for samples with various Ba/Sr ratios, this anomalous quenching behavior was discussed in terms of the configuration coordinate model and photo-ionization theory.
