采用提拉法生长了白光发光二极管(LED)用Ce,Mn: YAG单晶, 通过X射线衍射(XRD)测试、 X射线吸收精细结构(XAFS)测试、 吸收光谱和激发发射光谱对其晶相结构、 掺杂Mn的价态和光谱特性进行了表征, 并研究了晶片厚度及驱动电流的变化对LED器件光电性能的影响. 在460 nm蓝光的激发下, Ce,Mn: YAG单晶的发射光谱可由中心波长526和566 nm的宽带发射峰复合而成. XAFS测试结果表明, 所得单晶中掺杂Mn的价态以正二价为主. 由于Ce^3+和Mn^2+在YAG单晶中存在能量传递, 荧光光谱中566 nm处的橙色发射峰对应于Mn^2+离子^4T1→^6A1能级的辐射跃迁.
Ce,Mn: YAG single crystal for white light emitting diode(LED) was grown by Czochralski method. The structure, valence states of doped Mn and optical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS), absorption and photoluminescence spectra. The photoelectric parameters of white LED were also measured by changing the thickness of single crystal and the driving current. Ce,Mn: YAG single crystal shows a broad emission band peak around 526 nm and 566 nm under blue light of 460 nm. The XAFS result shows that the valence states of doped Mn are mostly Mn^2+ in the Ce,Mn: YAG. Due to the effective energy transfer between Ce^3+ and Mn^2+ in YAG single crystal, the bright orange luminescence in the bands peaked at 566 nm are caused by the ^4T1→^6A1 radiative transitions of Mn^2+.
