Popis: A high-efficient blue-emitting phosphor Ba3Lu2B6O15: Ce3+ was synthesized by three-step solid-state method. XRD Rietveld refinement analysis reveals that Ba3Lu2B6O15 is of cubic Ia 3 ( — — ) system, owning a high-symmetric layer structure with two regular LuO6 octahedrons and one BaO9 polyhedron. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation result indicates BLB is a kind of direct band-gap material with broad band-gap of ~5.10 eV. Ba3Lu2B6O15:Ce3+ phosphor exhibits a bright blue emission under UV excitation with high quantum efficiency of > 90%, and the possible reasons are discussed basing on structural and spectral data. Because of its excellent luminescent properties, Ba3Lu2B6O15:Ce3+ could be a promising candidate as a blue phosphor for NUV LED devices.
