Abstract
Sr2CeO4: Ho3+ was prepared by high-temperature solid-state method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photo luminescent (PL). The Sr2CeO4:Ho3+ phosphors showed a red emission under the near-ultraviolet excitation (280 nm) and the main emission centered at 475 nm. It has been found that A+ (A+ = Li+, Na+ or K+) codoped Sr2CeO4: Ho3+ phosphors could lead to a remarkable increase of photoluminescence. Luminous intensity was the highest when doping Li+ ions. Investigation indicated that Sr2Ce0.989O4: 0.001Ho3+, 0.01Li+ exhibited the strongest emission. The average particle size was about 6 um. The optimum sintering temperature was 1200 °C and the possible mechanism was also discussed.
