Popis: SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ long-afterglow (LAG) phosphors with nominal substitution of Dy for Al site demonstrated superior performance as compared to the cases of nominal substitution for the Sr site or excess addition, despite the fact that a reduced quantity of the SrAl 2 O 4 main host phase existed when Dy 3+ was nominally substituted for Al. It was deduced that if the number of Al available for the formation of the main host was less than the stoichiometric value of 2 with reference to the number of Sr lattice site in the main host, boron would suitably join the [Al,B]O 4 structural unit, yielding an improved incorporation of Dy 3+ to the SrAl 2 O 4 main host which, in turn, improves the LAG luminescence.
