Efficient sensitization of Mn 2+ emission by Sn 2+ in fluoroapatites
Abstract
In Sn-Mn coactivated Ca fluoroapatites, excitation at 254 nm results in a yellow emission from Mn 2+, exceeding by ⋍20% the emission intensity of the corresponding Sb-Mn coactivated fluoroapatites presently used in fluorescent lamps. Additional spectral observations for Sn-Mn coactivated fluoroapatites are reported.
