Abstract
CaTiO3: Eu3+ red phosphors with high thermal stability and temperature sensitivity were synthesized by KCl flux assisted solidphase reaction method and they had orthorhombic perovskite phase. CaTiO3:15%Eu3+ had the irregular particle structure,with mean particle size of about 1.58 μm, while CaTiO3:15%Eu3+ +6%KCl also had the irregular particle structure, with meanparticle size of about 2.25 μm. When Eu3+ ion concentration was 15mol%, concentration quenching phenomenon took place,which could be explained by electric dipole-dipole interaction due to the critical Eu3+- Eu3+ distance of ~ 8.93 Å. We found thatKCl flux could increase the particle size and crystallinity, which was beneficial to luminescence property. Based on the PLspectra excited at 398 nm, the color coordinates of CaTiO3:15%Eu3+ were (0.5911, 0.4008) and the color purity was 97.7%,while the color coordinates of sample CaTiO3:15%Eu3++ 6%KCl were (0.6042, 0.3895) and the color purity was 98.4%. Therelative intensity IR1 and IR2 at 423 K is 87. 29% and 83. 22%, indicating the sample had high thermal stability. Based on TCLsFIR, Sr of CaTiO3:15%Eu3+ is 2322.67/T^2. CaTiO3:Eu3+ red phosphor was expected to be a promising inorganic material forpossible applications in temperature sensing.
