Popis: Ca 15 (PO 4 ) 2 (SiO 4 ) 6 :Eu 2+ ,Ce 3+ phosphor was synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Doping of Ce 3+ into the Ca 2+ site of the Ca 15 (PO 4 ) 2 (SiO 4 ) 6 :Eu 2+ phosphor enhanced the Eu 2+ emission greatly, as observed by measuring the photoluminescence properties and the quantum efficiency levels. The mechanism of the enhancement of the Eu 2+ emission by Ce 3+ doping was investigated by comparing the normalized photoluminescence (PL) spectra with the normalized photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and analyzing the absorbance and the fluorescence lifetime of the Ca 15 (PO 4 ) 2 (SiO 4 ) 6 :Eu 2+ ,Ce 3+ phosphors. Furthermore, the thermoluminescence properties were measured to confirm the thermal stability of the synthesized phosphor when exposed to the high junction temperature of recent high-power LED chips, showing a thermal activation energy barrier of 0.213 eV.
