Textured Beta-Sialon:Eu2+ Phosphor Deposits Fabricated by Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) Process within a Strong Magnetic Field: Preparation Process and Photoluminescence (PL) Properties Depending on Orientation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Beta-sialon:Eu2+ phosphor deposits were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process within a strong magnetic field (12 T). The direction of the magnetic field was adjusted to be parallel or perpendicular to that of the electric field, that is, vertical-or horizontal setup. The oriented deposits were fabricated by aligning the β-sialon:Eu2+ particles along the higher magnetic-susceptibility c-crystal axis (a, b-crystal plane). For the case of vertically-setup magnetic field, the oriented deposit aligned along the c-axis possessed higher relative deposit density than the randomly fabricated deposit, as a result, varying the intensity ratio of emission and transmitted excitation, and therefore, presenting different chromaticity coordinates; for the case of horizontally-setup magnetic field, photoluminescence (PL) intensities of the deposits oriented along c-axis were significantly improved by comparing with those of the randomly-oriented ones.
