    Abstract:
    The exploration of multicolor emitting phosphors with single phase is extremely important for n-UV chip excited LED/WLED's and multicolor display devices. In this paper, Dy3+, Ho3+ singly doped and Dy3+/Ho3+ co-doped CaTiO3 phosphor materials have been synthesized by solid state reaction method at 1473 K. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, FTIR, PL and lifetime measurements. The PL emission spectra of Dy3+ doped CaTiO3 phosphors give intense blue and yellow emissions under UV excitation, while the PL emission spectra of Ho3+ doped CaTiO3 phosphor show intense green emission under UV/blue excitations. Further, to get the multicolor emission including white light, Dy3+ and Ho3+ were co-doped simultaneously in CaTiO3 host. It is found that alongwith colored and white light emissions, it also shows energy transfer from Dy3+ to Ho3+ with 367 nm and from Ho3+ to Dy3+ under 362 nm excitations. The energy transfer efficiency is found to be 67.76% and 69.39% for CaTiO3:4Dy3+/3Ho3+ and CaTiO3:3Ho3+/5Dy3+ phosphors, respectively. The CIE color coordinates, CCT and color purity of the phosphors have been calculated, which show color tunability from whitish to deep green via greenish yellow color. The lifetime of 4F9/2 level of Dy3+ ion and 5S2 level of Ho3+ ion is decreased in presence of Ho3+ and Dy3+ ions, respectively. This is due to energy transfer from Dy3+ to Ho3+ ions and vice versa. A temperature dependent photoluminescence studied of CaTiO3:4Dy3+/2Ho3+ phosphor show a high thermal stability (82% at 423 K of initial temperature 303 K) in the temperature range 303-483 K with activation energy 0.17 eV. The PLQY are 30%, 33% and 35% for CaTiO3:4Dy3+, CaTiO3:4Dy3+/2Ho3+ and CaTiO3:3Ho3+ phosphors, respectively. Hence, Dy3+, Ho3+ singly doped and Dy3+/Ho3+ co-doped CaTiO3 phosphor materials can be used in the field of single matrix perovskite color tunable phosphors which may be used in multicolor display devices, n-UV chip excited LED/WLED's and photodynamic therapy for the cancer treatment.
