Abstract

A new green phosphor, ($Mg_{1-x-yZnx)$)$Al_2O_4:Mn^{2+}{_y}$ (0 x 0.6, 0.001 y 0.01), was synthesized by a flux-assisted solid reaction and its vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation and emission characteristics were examined in this study. The chromaticity and peak intensity of the $(Mg_{0.79}Zn_{0.2})Al_2O_4:Mn^{2+}{_{0.01}}$ (x = 0.177, y = 0.745) phosphor were found to be more desirable than that of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ (x = 0.216, y = 0.72) phosphor as a green primary color.
