Abstract
Chromium-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG-Cr) phosphor powders were prepared by a heterogeneous precipitation method. Hydroxide precursor powders were precipitated from their respective metal sulfate solutions with urea. The formation of the YAG phosphors was investigated by means of XRD. Phase pure YAG-Cr was formed by heating the precursors at 1300°C, which is more than 300°C lower than that required for the conventional solid-state reaction method. The emission intensity of YAG-Cr phosphors increased with increasing firing temperature, and the intensities observed for phosphor powders were brighter than that of the commercial YAG-Cr phosphors.
