LiBaPO₄:Eu²⁺ phosphors with stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric compositions were prepared using a solid state reaction followed by heat treatment in reduced atmosphere, and the crystal structures and photoluminescence(PL) properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction and luminescence spectrometer. At 900℃, the Ba₃(PO₄)₂ phase as the intermediate phase was observed with the LiBaPO₄ phase as the main crystalline phase. Samples with a low europium concentration at 1,000℃ belonged to the trigonal structure, whereas samples with Eu²⁺ content more than 4 mol% showed monoclinic structure. In the nonstoichiometric compositions of 4 mol% Eu²⁺ and above, a single phase of Eu²⁺-doped LiBaPO₄, showing bluish green emission, was formed.
