Cathodoluminescence of Ca1 − x Mg x S : A ( A = Eu or Ce )

Abstract
Cathodoluminescent properties of Eu2+‐ or Ce3+‐activated and phosphors are investigated at 300 K. It is found that exhibits a high energy efficiency (∼16 %) and an improved water‐resistance if residual oxide content is less than 1 m/o. Under these highly sulfurizing conditions, is confirmed to be completely miscible with in any compositional ratio. The composition , Ba(0.1 m/o), whose color coordinates are comparable to the red phosphor , exceeds the latter in brightness by 15% at 18 kV excitation. Additionally, Eu2+‐activated alkaline‐earth binary sulfides are examined. A complete miscibility is ascertained in the pseudobinary system where the difference in cation radius is less than 0.035 nm. Stress‐induced peak shifts are observed in and . Some mechanisms for these shifts are proposed.
