Abstract

The photoluminescence (PL) properties are studied for a new phosphor $BaZr(BO_{3})_{2}$ doped with $Eu^{3+}$ activator ion. The excitation spectrum shows strong absorption in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region with an absorption band edge at 200 nm. The PL spectrum shows the strongest emission at 615 nm corresponding to the electric dipole $^{5}D_{0}\;{\rightarrow}\;^{7}F_{2}$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$, which results in a good color purity.
