Abstract
Nanocrystalline CaYAlO4:Sm3+ phosphors were synthesized by a citrate-based sol-gel method. After annealing at 1000°C, the closely packed particles with pure tetragonal crystalline structure were observed. The photoluminescence spectra exhibited the emission peaks of 565nm (4G5/2→6H5/2), 600nm (4G5/2→6H7/2), and 650nm (4G5/2→6H9/2) under an excitation wavelength of 409nm. The optimum concentration of CaYAlO4:Sm3+ phosphors was found to be 2mol%. The lifetimes were measured to analyze the effect of Sm3+ concentration in CaYAlO4 host lattice. And similar emissions of cathode-luminescence (CL) spectra were also observed. By increasing the accelerating voltage from 1 to 5kV, the CL intensity was linearly increased.
