Luminescent properties of phosphors YAG: Ce, BaF<sub>2</sub> and ceramics
Y<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> (YAG) phosphor powders doped with Ce<sup>3+ </sup>were synthesized by solid state reaction method with the addition of BaF<sub>2</sub>. Ceramic samples were sintered from obtained YAG:Ce,BaF<sub>2</sub> phosphor powder. Morphological, photoluminescent properties and decay characteristics of YAG:Ce,BaF<sub>2</sub> phosphor powders and ceramics were studied. The luminescence decay kinetics analysis of the investigated samples is shown that the decay time in phosphors and ceramics is different in visual spectral range.
