Luminescent properties of phosphors YAG: Ce, BaF<sub>2</sub> and ceramics
Y3Al5O12 (YAG) phosphor powders doped with Ce3+ were synthesized by solid state reaction method with the addition of BaF2. Ceramic samples were sintered from obtained YAG:Ce,BaF2 phosphor powder. Morphological, photoluminescent properties and decay characteristics of YAG:Ce,BaF2 phosphor powders and ceramics were studied. The luminescence decay kinetics analysis of the investigated samples is shown that the decay time in phosphors and ceramics is different in visual spectral range.
