Abstrakt: A high yield process to produce gallium nitride (GaN) powder doped with europium (Eu) is presented. Eu is in situ incorporated into GaN powder through the reaction between a molten alloy of Ga and Eu along with NH3 at 1000 °C using Bi as a wetting agent. This procedure provides a method to produce a GaN:Eu phosphor with high yield and low cost. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements are studied on GaN:Eu powders with different Eu concentrations. The maximum PL intensity is obtained at a Eu concentration of 1.25 at. %. Cathodoluminescence spectra at room temperature exhibit many detailed transitions in the 530–630 nm range. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
