A green phosphor, KCaPO4:Tb3+, was synthesized by the high temperature solid state reaction method. Li2CO3, Na2CO3, K2CO3, CaCO3, NH4H2PO4, NH4Cl, Tb4O7 and CeO2 were used for starting materials. After these individual materials were blended and grounded thoroughly in an agate mortar, the homogeneous mixture was heated at 900℃ for 3 h, and then the phosphors were obtained. The phase present of the samples was characterized by a powder x-ray diffraction. The spectral characteristics of the phosphors were measured by a SHIMADZU RF-540 fluorescence spectrophoto- meter. KCaPO4:Tb3+ shows several emission peaks, and locates at 437, 490, 545, 587 and 623 nm, which correspond to the 5D3→7F4 and 5D4→7FJ=6. 5, 4, 3 transition of Tb3+, respectively, and the main emission peak is 545 nm. Monitored at 545 nm emission, the excitation spectrum consists of several bands, and the main peak locates at 380 nm. The effects of Tb3+ doping content, the compensators (Li+, Na+, K+ or Cl-), and the sensitize activator Ce3+ on the emission intensity of KCaPO4:Tb3+ phosphor were studied. The results show that the emission intensity can be enhanced by select the prime condition.
