Abstract
The blue-color emitting phosphor powder, $CaMgSi_{2}O_6:Eu^{2+}(CMS:Eu^{2+})$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized powder was annealed from room temperature to $1,100^{\circ}C$ in air. Its PL property and valence state of Eu atoms was measured by the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers, respectively. The PL intensity was stable to $700^{\circ}C$, but drastically decreased to $1,100^{\circ}C$. The behavior of EPR intensity was very similar to the PL intensity. The EPR measurement showed that decreased intensity of the PL was caused to the oxidation from the ion $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The EPR spectrometer was powerful as a tool that could distinguish between the valence states of Eu atom as a dopant in various phosphors.
