【 摘 要 】

Sm$^{3+}$-activated NaSrPO4 phosphors could be efficiently excited at 403 nm, and exhibited a bright red emission mainly including four wavelength peaks of 565, 600, 646 and 710 nm. The highest emission intensity was foundfor NaSr$_{1−x}$PO$_{4}$:$x$Sm$^{3+}$ with a composition of $x = 0.007$. Concentration quenching was observed as the composition of $x$ exceeds 0.007. The decay time values of NaSr1−xPO4:xSm3+ phosphors range from around 2.55 to 3.49 ms. NaSr$_{1−x}$PO$_{4}$:$x$Sm$^{3+}$ phosphor shows a higher thermally stable luminescence and its thermal quenching temperature$T_{50}$ was found to be 350$^{\circ}$C, which is higher than that of commercial YAG:Ce$^{3+}$ phosphor and ZnS:(Al, Ag) phosphor. Because NaSr$_{1−x}$PO$_{4}$:$x$Sm$^{3+}$ phosphor features a high colour-rendering index and chemical stability, it is potentially useful as a new scintillation material for white light-emitting diodes.
