摘要
For high-power white LED applications, YAG:Ce-based yellow phosphors were embedded in a low-T-g Bi2O3-B2O5-ZnO-Sb2O5 glass by sintering route. Effects of sintering temperature (325-390 degrees C) on the microstructure and photoluminescence properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction was used to measure the retained fraction of YAG:Ce phase after sintering. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, were used to examine the microstructure, including the element distribution across the phosphor-glass interface. Photoluminescence properties of the samples before and after sintering were compared. With the increasing sintering temperature, the retained fraction of YAG:Ce decreased from 83.3% to 82%. This effect tends to reduce the luminescence intensity of the samples after sintering. The increasing sintering temperature also enhances the diffusion of cations (esp. Bi) from glass matrix to YAG:Ce. This effect tends to increase the luminescence intensity of the YAG:Ce particles after sintering. When the sintering temperature was lower (325 degrees C), the effect of YAG:Ce loss was dominant, thus the luminescence intensity was reduced after sintering. When the sintering temperature was higher (350-390 degrees C), the effect of solute dissolution was dominant, resulting in luminescence intensity anomalously higher than that before sintering. Similar result has not been reported in literatures. The maximum luminescence intensity of the sintered samples is 1.57 times as high as that of the samples before sintering.
