Abstract
Willemite green phosphor powders have been prepared by the metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) method, and the photoluminescence and phase formation were studied as a function of both the firing temperature ($800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$) and the concentration of Mn activator ($4{\sim}12 mol%$). Under 254 nm excitation source, the emission intensity of the phosphors increased with increasing the firing temperature from 800 to $1000^{\circ}C$. From the XRD analysis, the powders heat-treated above $1000^{\circ}C$ showed willemite crystal structure. The maximum emission intensity was obtained far the phosphors heat-treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ with 8 mol% of Mn content. The concentration quenching was occurred when the Mn concentration exceeded 10 mol%. The phosphor particles showed spherical shapes with the average size of $0.4{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ by the SEM morphology.
