Description

In this study, red-emitting K7SrY2(B5O10)(3):Eu3+ phosphors were synthesized via high-temperature solid-state reaction. The effects of Li+ and Na+ co-doping on structural and photoluminescent properties were investigated. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed a phase-pure trigonal structure. Under 394 nm excitation, Li+ co-doping induced significant local lattice asymmetry, leading to a remarkable similar to 58-fold enhancement of D-5(0) -> F-7(4) transition, which is typically parity-forbidden. This behavior is further supported by the high Judd-Ofelt Omega(6) parameter (5.42 x 10(-20) cm(2)), indicating enhanced electric dipole character due to symmetry breaking. CIE chromaticity coordinates shifted toward deeper red emission with color purity up to 97.7 % and CCT as low as 2253 K. Temperature-dependent PL confirmed high thermal stability (E-a = 0.190 eV). These results demonstrate that Li+-induced symmetry distortion is a powerful strategy to enhance anomalous red emission, positioning KSYBO:Eu3+,Li+ as a promising red phosphor for pc-WLEDs.
