Glass crystallization making red phosphor for high-power warm white lighting.

ABSTRACT: Rapid development of solid-state lighting technology requires new materials with highly efficient and stable luminescence, and especially relies on blue light pumped red phosphors for improved light quality. Herein, we discovered an unprecedented red-emitting Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈:Eu²⁺ composite phosphor (λ_ex = 450 nm, λ_em = 620 nm) via the crystallization of MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ aluminosilicate glass. Combined experimental measurement and first-principles calculations verify that Eu²⁺ dopants insert at the vacant channel of Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈ crystal with six-fold coordination responsible for the peculiar red emission. Importantly, the resulting p
