Abstract

Abstract : A self-activated light emitting phosphor of Na2 TiSiO5 can emit white light and cyan light under different excitation pathways. Abstract : In this work, a novel self-activated light emitting phosphor of Na2 TiSiO5 (NTSO) has been successfully synthesized in a high temperature solid-state reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) properties of NTSO have been measured. Under excitation at 260 nm, NTSO emits a white light with CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.275, 0.355) and cyan light can also be observed at low voltage excitation. The crystal structure of NTSO has been investigated using the Rietveld refinement, which shows that Ti ions not only occupy the octahedron center but also connect with five O ions to form a TiO5 polyhedron. The special polyhedron of TiO5 broadens the emission band, and the energy transfer between the two sites has also been proved through the time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra. Finally, the CL properties of NTSO with the functions of accelerating voltage, filament current and electron radiation time have been measured and the results show that NTSO emits bright light, and has excellent stability and good CIE chromaticity coordinates, which indicates that NTSO has the potential to be applied in FEDs.
