Single phase white LED phosphor Ca3YAl3B4O15:Ce3+,Tb3+,Sm3+ with superior performance: Color-tunable and energy transfer study

The white light-emitting diodes, contributing as a light initiator for the succeeding generation, is now becoming a consistently developing and attractive research area. However, the weak thermal stability, high correlated color temperature (CCT), and low color rendering (Ra) restrict its effectiveness for large-scale implementation. In this work, we reported for the first time the incorporation of rare-earth ions Ce3+-Tb3+-Sm3+ into...
