    Abstract:
    A series of novel K2Ge4O9:Mn(4+) phosphors with red emission under blue light excitation have been synthesized successfully by traditional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The structure of K2Ge4O9 has been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction with Rietveld refinement. The PL properties have been investigated by measuring diffuse reflection spectra, emission spectra, excitation spectra, decay curves and temperature-dependent spectra. The KGO:0.1% Mn(4+) phosphor can emit red light peaking at 663 nm under UV or blue light excitation. The critical quenching concentration of Mn(4+) was about 0.1 mol%. The concentration quenching mechanism could be a d-d interaction for the Mn(4+) center. The CIE chromaticity coordinates and FWHM are (0.702, 0.296) and 20 nm, which demonstrated that the K2Ge4O9:Mn(4+) has a high color purity. By tuning the weight ratio of yellow and red phosphors, the fabricated white LEDs, using a 455 nm InGaN blue chip combined with a blend of the yellow phosphor YAG:Ce(3+) and the red-emitting KGO:Mn(4+) phosphor driven by a 40 mA current, can get white light with chromaticity coordinates (0.405, 0.356) and CCT 3119 K. These results indicated that K2Ge4O9:Mn(4+) is a potential red phosphor to match blue LED chips to get warm white light.
