Popis: The baricenter and crystal field splitting of the 5d transition of the Eu 2+ activator were approximated from the experimental spectrum data for Li 2 SrSiO 4 , Li 2 CaSiO 4 , and Li 2 BaSiO 4 hosts and examined in conjunction with the ionic radii of neighboring alkali earth ions and the local structure around the divalent europium activator. In addition, Li2(Sr,Ca,Ba)SiO 4 :Eu 2+ ternary phosphors were screened in terms of photoluminescence (PL) intensity and color chromaticity at an excitation of 400 nm to determine their suitability for use in white-light-emitting diodes. As a result, several intermediate compounds (mixtures or solid solutions) were pinpointed in a specific composition range in the Li 2 (Sr,Ca,Ba)SiO 4 :Eu 2+ ternary composition library. In particular, Li2(Ba 1-x Sr x )SiO 4 :Eu 2+ (0.3 < x < 0.6) showed the best performance in terms of both PL intensity and color chromaticity.
