As candidates for display and lighting materials, a series of gallium-substituted cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Y-3(GaxAl1-x)(5)O-12: Ce3+) phosphors were synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction. The phases, morphology, luminescence spectra and thermal stability of the phosphors were investigated. The volatilization of Ga2O3 induces the constituents out of stoichiometric ratio and different impurities in the system. The excitation and emission spectra occur red shift (339 nm - 351 nm) and blue shift (465 nm - 437 nm), and blue shift (541 nm - 517 nm), respectively. The spectra have no further blue shift and the luminescence intensity decrease with x over 0.4. Combining crystal structure with PL spectrum, the distortion of dodecahedron and crystal field splitting of 5d level of Ce3+ are influenced by Ga3+ in octahedral coordination polyhedron rather than tetrahedron. The crystalline perfection and Ga3+ occupying the tetrahedron induce less garnet phase formation, more impurities and the 5d level located in the conductive bands, thus accounting for the x = 0.4 turning points of the PL and PLE intensity. Based on the thermal quenching and CIE, the Y-3(GaxAl1-x)(5)O-12: Ce3+ (0.06) phosphors have great potential for use on the w-LED. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
