C. Barthou et al., MN-2-EFFECT ON THE OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF ZN2SIO4MN PHOSPHORS( CONCENTRATION), Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 141(2), 1994, pp. 524-528
The optical properties of manganese-activated zinc silicate Zn2(1-x)Mn
2xSiO4 are investigated using pulse selective photon excitation. The l
ight response due to the 4T1g - 6A1g transition is directly linked to
the relative concentration of isolated Mn2+ and Mn2+ pairs in this str
ucture. The decay curves can be fitted by a diffusion-limited relaxati
on mechanism by considering two types of centers with radiative lifeti
mes tau0 equal to 15 and 1.75 ms, respectively.
