Abstract

We have investigated luminescence properties of Ln-SiAlON materials doped with $Ce^{3+}$. Low-energy 4f${\leftrightarrow}$5d transitions were observed as compared to the luminescence of this ion doped in oxidic host-lattices.$^1$ Ce-doped Y-a-SiAlON show bright long wavelength luminescence with high absorption for 305 and 455nm excitation. In our experiment, the sintering temperature of this material(1400$^{\circ}C$) was lower than that of normal sintering temperature (1700$^{\circ}C$). However, Single phase of SiAlON was not composed we observed the YAG phase.
