Solid solubility and photoluminescence of Y3Al5O12：Ce3+ prepared by using (Y1-xCex)2O3 as precursor

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/4/048106

Abstract Trivalent cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce³⁺) phosphors are synthesized by solid-state reaction method through using (Y_1-xCe_x)₂O₃ solid solutions as precursors. Solid solubility limits of Ce³⁺ replacing Y³⁺ in Y₂O₃ and YAG are determined to be 40% and 7.5%, respectively, based on the relationship between the lattice parameter and chemical composition. Using (Y_1-xCe_x)₂O₃ as precursors we synthesize YAG:Ce³⁺single phase at 1450℃ and N₂ atmosphere. However, under the same conditions using CeO₂ there exists a second phase YAlO₃ as impurity. The photoluminescence intensity of YAG:Ce³⁺ increases monotonically with the increase of Ce concentration until it reaches a maximum at solid solubility limits of Ce³⁺ in YAG.

Keywords: luminescence YAG solid solubility LED
