Abstract

The precursor powders with thin wall structure were prepared by spray pyrolysis from the spray solution with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid and $NH_4Cl$ flux. The $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu$ phosphor powders formed from the spray solution without organic additives and flux material had sizes of $1{\sim}5{\mu}m$ and hollow structure with high thickness at post-treatment temperature of $1,200^{\circ}C$. However, $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu$ phosphor powders formed from the spray solution with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid and $NH_4Cl$ flux had fine size and plate-like shape. The mean crystallite sizes of the phosphor powders with fine sizes were 23, 35, and 33 nm when the content of $NH_4Cl$ flux were 0, 6, 35 wt% of phosphor. The photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor powders formed from the spray solution with the optimum amount of $NH_4Cl$ flux as 35 wt% was 215% of that of the phosphor powders formed from the spray solution without flux material.

에틸렌디아민테트라아세트산, 구연산 및 $NH_4Cl$ 융제가 첨가된 분무용액으로부터 분무열분해법에 의해 얇은 막 구조의 전구체 분말들을 합성하였다. $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성 과정을 거친 유기 첨가제와 융제를 사용하지 않은 $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}:Eu$ 형광체는 $1{\sim}5{\mu}m$ 크기의 구형이며, 두꺼운 막 형태의 속이 빈 구조를 가졌다. 반면에 에틸렌디아민아세트산과 구연산을 첨가하여 합성된 BAM:Eu 형광체는 판상 구조의 미세한 크기를 가졌다.$NH_4Cl$ 융제의 첨가량이 0, 6, 35 wt%일때 합성된 미세 형광체들의 결정자 크기는 각각 23, 35, 33 nm였다. 최대의 발광 세기를 나타내는 최적의 융제 첨가량은 형광체의 35 wt%였으며, 융제를 첨가하지 않은 분무용액으로부터 합성된 형광체의 발광 세기의 215%였다.
