Bright and persistent green emitting MgGa₂O₄:Mn²⁺ for phosphor converted white light emitting diodes

Abstract

(59.12%). Doping-induced creation of oxygen vacancies endows MGO-Mn with excellent persistent luminescence with a time duration of more than 900 s upon 4 min charging with 270 nm UV light and persistent radioluminescence of more than 6000 s when charged with X-rays for 1 min. Finally, tunable white LEDs (cool and neutral white LEDs) are fabricated by combining the RGB mixture of the green phosphor with commercial red and blue phosphors along with a 280 nm UV LED chip. This work also showcases the importance of different annealing atmospheres in the photoluminescence and persistent luminescence of the MGO-Mn phosphor.
