%0 Journal Article %T Chemical solution-derived SrMg2(PO4)2:Eu2+ blue phosphor for ultraviolet emitting diodes %A Kyu-Seog Hwang %A Seung Hwangbo %A Jin-Tae Kim %J Optica Applicata %D 2010 %I %X Eu2+-doped SrMg2(PO4)2 phosphor with blue emission was prepared by the low temperature chemical solution process using inorganic salts as a starting material. Transparent sol was preheated at 300 ˇăC for 120 min and then precursor was finally annealed at 900 ˇăC for 240 min in a reducing CO atmosphere. Crystallinity, surface morphology and luminescent properties have been investigated. The phosphor emits bright blue luminescence with a peak wavelength at 423 nm under near-ultraviolet excitation at 363 nm. %K SrMg2(PO4)2 %K phosphor %K blue %K sol&ndash %K gel %U http://www.if.pwr.wroc.pl/~optappl/pdf/2010/no4/optappl_4004p943.pdf
