Abstract

Ba2-xSrxSiO4:Eu2+ phosphor particles with the high photoluminescence (PL) intensity under long wavelength ultraviolet (UV) were prepared by spray pyrolysis. The photoluminescence, morphological and crystalline characteristics of $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles prepared by spray pyrolysis were investigated. $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles prepared by spray pyrolysis had various colors from bluish green to yellow by changing the ratio of barium and strontium of the host material. In case of x=0, the main emission peak of $Ba_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was 500 nm. In case of x=2, the main emission peak of $Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was 554nm. $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles obtained by spray pyrolysis had spherical shape and hollow structure. On the other hand, the post-treated $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles had large size and irregular shape. The $Ba_{1.488}Sr_{0.5}SiO_4:Eu_{0.012}{^{2+}}$ phosphor particles had the maximum PL intensity after post-treatment at temperature of $1300^{\circ}C$ for 3h under reduction atmosphere.

분무열분해법에 의해 장파장 UV 여기원 하에서 높은 발광세기를 가지는 $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체를 제조하였다. 분무열분해공정 의해 제조된 $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 발광특성, 분말 형태 및 결정성에 대해 조사하였다. 분무열분해 공정에 의해 제조된 $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체는 모체를 구성하는 바륨과 스트론튬의 비에 따라 청녹색에서 황색에 이르기까지 다양한 파장대의 색을 구현할 수 있었다. x = 0인 $Ba_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 경우 발광 중심파장이 500 nm였으며, x = 2인 $Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체의 경우 발광중심 파장이 554 nm였다. 분무열분해 공정에 의해 제조된 $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체는 구형의 형상을 띄지만 중공성의 입자 특성을 가졌다. 반면에 후열처리 과정을 거친 $Ba_{2-x.}Sr_{x.}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체는 큰 입자 크기와 불규칙한 형태를 가졌다. $Ba_{1.488}Sr_{0.5}SiO_4:Eu_{0.012}{^{2+}}$ 형광체가 환원분위기 하에서 후열처리 온도 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 후열처리 과정을 거쳤을 때 최적의 발광 세기를 가졌다.
