Synthesis and luminescent properties of $Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors

$Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 합성 및 발광특성

In this study, europium doped strontium silicate ($Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$) phosphor has been synthesized by conventional solid-state method and investigated luminescent characteristic. $SrCO_3$ and $SiO_2$ were mixed together by 2:1 mole ratio. Also $NH_4Cl$ was added as a flux. The mixture were sintered at $800^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3h under the atmosphere (5% $H_2$/95% $N_2$). This phosphor can be applicated to the yellow phosphor for white LED because it has yellow emission band (540nm), which emits efficiently under the 370nm excitaion energy.
