phosphor β-SiAlON:Eu has been
widely used in advanced wide-gamut backlighting devices. However,
the origins for unusual sharp lines in photoluminescence emission
at room temperature and tunable narrow-band-emission tailored by reducing
Al–O in β-SiAlON:Eu are still unclear. Here, the presence
of sharp-line fine structure in the emission spectra of β-SiAlON:Eu
is mainly due to purely electronic transitions (zero phonon lines),
and their vibronic repetitions resulting from the multimicroenvironment
around Eu2+ ions that has been revealed by relative emission
intensity of sharp line depends on excitation wavelength and monotonously
increasing decay time. The specific features of the Eu2+ occupying interstitial sites indicate that the effect of crystal
field strength can be neglected. Therefore, the enhanced rigidity
and higher ordering structure of β-SiAlON:Eu with decreasing
the substitution of Si–N by Al–O become the main factors
in decreasing electron–lattice coupling and reducing inhomogeneous
broadening, favoring the blue-shift and narrow of the emission band,
the enhanced thermal stability, as well as the charge state of Eu2+. Our results provide new insights for explaining the reason
for narrow-band-emission in β-SiAlON:Eu, which will deliver
an impetus for the exploration of phosphors with narrow band and ordering
structure.
