Flash Creation Methodを用いた青色蛍光体BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+の合成とその蛍光特性

BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ is a promising blue phosphor for lump, CRT and PDP. Conventionally, the BAM phosphors synthesize by the solid-state reaction from the mixture of oxide or carbonate starting materials. The solid-state reaction needs high temperature to get well-crystallized single phase. However, the control of particle morphology and size distribution is difficult for such a high temperature synthesis. In this study, we reported new synthetic technique using flash creation method derived nanopowder precursor. In the new technique, well-crystallized single phase phosphors were obtained at 1400°C for 6h. Although the powders were grown into the plate-like particles, the BAM powders retain the nano-size morphology after annealing. The emission intensity under UV excitation of Ba0.9Eu0.1MgAl10O17 from the FCM-derived nanopowder was 110% compared with phosphors prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. The excitation intensity under VUV (146nm) of the FCM derived nanopowder was 159% of the conventional solid-state reaction.
