Abstract

Rapid and continuous production of phosphor (YAG : Tb) fine particles by hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical water was studied. At temperatures higher than the critical temperature of water, continuous and rapid (>60s) production of YAG:Tb fine particles was achieved. Emission spectra obtained by UV excitation of the particles were in agreement with the typical spectral pattern of YAG : Tb. Single phase YAG : Tb was produced by using stoichiometric mixtures of metal salts [Al(NO3)3, Y(NO3)3, and TbCl3] as aqueous solutions with an alkali molar ratio {[OH-]/([NO3-] + [C1-])} of 1 and a rapid heating method. No additional thermal treatment was necessary to obtain crystalline products.
