Abstract

The phosphor NaGd(PO₃)₄:Dy³⁺ was synthesized by solid-state reaction technique at high temperature. The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)-UV excitation spectra and visible emission spectra under VUV/UV excitation were investigated. The sample NaGd(PO₃)₄:Dy³⁺ showed suitable spectroscopic characteristics such as broad and strong absorption around 172 nm, intensive emission with the chromaticity coordinates (0.33, 0.38) in warm-white light region. Additionally, this efficient white-emitting phosphor is activated by a single Dy³⁺ ion and with a lower preparation temperature, which tend to decrease the consumption of rare earth resource and energy. Therefore, the phosphor NGP:Dy³⁺ may be considered as a suitable candidate for Hg-free lamps application.
