Abstract

We report on preparation of $CaBaSiS_4:Eu^{2+}$ material by an advanced chemical solution method and fluorescent properties of the new material. The emission spectrum of $CaBaSiS_4:Eu^{2+}$ has the main peak centered at 598 nm, with the corresponding excitation maximum at around 420 nm. The strongest emission intensity of this material approached 96% compared to one of the best commercially available YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor.
