Due to its bright yellow-to-red emission, europium doped Ca2SiS4 is a very interesting material for phosphor converted light emitting diodes. The emission spectrum is highly dependent on the Eu concentration and can consist of more than one emission band. We combined X-ray absorption fine structure and photoluminescence measurements to analyze the structure of europium centers in (Ca,Eu)2SiS4 luminescent powders. This paper provides an explanation for the concentration dependency of the emission spectra. We find that at low dopant concentrations a large fraction of trivalent europium ions is unexpectedly present in the powders. These trivalent europium ions tend to form defect clusters in the luminescent powders. Furthermore we observe a preferential substitution of the europium ions over the two different substitutional Ca sites, which changes upon increasing the dopant concentration. At high dopant concentration, the powder crystallizes in the monoclinic Eu2SiS4 structure. Once more a preferential substitution of the europium ions is observed. Summarizing, the influence of the concentration on the emission spectrum is explained by a difference in preferential occupation of the Eu ions in the lattice.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
