Green emitting Eu2+ doped(CaxSr1–x)6Si25.6Al6.4N41.6O4.4 phosphors with x value ranging from 0 to 0.1 were synthesized by the solid state reaction method under nitrogen atmosphere.The X-ray diffraction(XRD)patterns of the phosphors with different Ca2+ concentrations indicated that pure sialon phases were obtained.Crystal structure of these sialon phases was estimated to be a commensurate composite network stacking by two different types of layers.Intense and tunable green emissions with a slight red shift from 515 to 520 nm were observed with varying Ca/Sr ratios.The emission intensity decreased gradually because of the increase of the crystal splitting effect.Thermal quenching properties of the phosphors with different Ca2+ saturation were also discussed.The thermal stability became worse as more Ca2+ ions substituted for Sr2+ ions according to a larger Stokes shift.The solid solution phosphors could be a promising candidate for white LEDs for their interesting photoluminescence properties when the thermal stability would be improved.
