Abstract:
A phosphor material is presented that includes a blend of a first phosphor, a second phosphor and a third phosphor. The first phosphor includes a composition having a general formula of RE2−yM1+yA2−yScySin−wGewO12+δ:Ce3+ wherein RE is selected from a lanthanide ion or Y3+, where M is selected from Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba, A is selected from Mg or Zn and where 0≦y≦2, 2.5≦n≦3.5, 0≦w≦1, and −1.5≦δ≦1.5. The second phosphor includes a complex fluoride doped with manganese (Mn4+), and the third phosphor include a phosphor composition having an emission peak in a range from about 520 nanometers to about 680 nanometers. A lighting apparatus including such a phosphor material is also presented. The light apparatus includes a light source in addition to the phosphor material.
Abstract:
Processes for producing particles of rare earth-containing phosphor materials, in which the particles have a core-shell structure and the shell has a lower rare earth content than the core. Such a process may include contacting a core particle with a precursor comprising Na(La,Ce,Tb)P2O7 to form a mixture, and then heating the mixture to a temperature sufficient to decompose the Na(La,Ce,Tb)P2O7 to evolve and melt an NaPO3 flux and initiate deposition of a (La,Ce,Tb)PO4 shell on each core particle in the presence of the molten NaPO3 flux.
