Abstract

A novel blue emitting $Ca_{1-x}Mg_2Si_3O_9:Eu_x$ phosphor was synthesized by the solid state reaction and its photoluminescence properties were optimized by controlling concentration of the activator contents and substituting concentration of Ca ion by Sr ion. The photoluminescence (PL) showed that this phosphor is efficiently excited by ultraviolet (UV)-visible light in the wavelength range from 200 to 410 nm. Also this phosphor emits intensely blue light with a broad peak at around 450 nm.
