Abstract
Red emitting Mn4+ doped oxides are a promising class of materials to improve the colour rendering and luminous efficacy of phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs). For pcLEDs, the optical properties are crucial w.r.t commercial acceptance. In this work, luminescence spectra and decay curves of Sr2YNbO6, Sr2YTaO6 and Sr2LaNbO6 have been recorded, other Mn4+ doped phosphors show that quenching occurs through thermally activated crossover between the 4T2 excited state and 4A2 ground state. The quenching temperature can be optimized by designing the host lattice in which Mn4+ has a high 4T2 state energy. The main target is to study the influence of the above-mentioned host materials on the emission spectra, PL quenching, and quantum yield of the deep red Mn4+ ion. The present study provides detailed insights into temperature and concentration quenching of Mn4+ emission and can be used to realize superior narrow-band red Mn4+ phosphors for horticultural lighting.
