Abstract A series of Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) phosphors doped with different Si4+ concentrations is prepared by solid-state reaction. The temperature dependent characteristics of luminescent spectrum and decay time of Ce3+ are investigated. With Si4+ doped, the emission spectrum shows a blue shift due to a decrease of the splitting of 5d levels of Ce3+ ion. The thermal stability is greatly improved by adding Si4+ because the activation energy ΔE increases from 0.1836 eV to 0.2401 eV. The study of the decay times against temperature for various doping concentrations of Si4+ shows that the calculated nonradiative decay rate is affected by Si4+ substitution. The results are explained by the configurational coordinate diagram.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
