Fund Project: This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (51272282, 51302311) (51272282, 51302311)the Education Commission of Beijing (2011010329) (Z13111000280000)

A series of YAG:Ce, Tb phosphors were synthesized by vacuum sintering method. Moreover, their spectral properties, thermal quenching behaviors and color rendering properties were investigated systematically. The photoluminescence emission spectra of YAG:Ce, Tb show a great red shift compared with that of YAG:Ce. Direct energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Ce³⁺ ions is verified based on the analysis of different photoluminescence spectra. The quenching temperature for Tb³⁺-doped YAG:Ce phosphors is about 490 K. The thermal activation energy is estimated to be 0.18 and 0.291 eV for Tb³⁺-doped YAG:Ce and YAG:Ce phosphors, respectively. The smaller activation energy for Tb³⁺-doped YAG:Ce means a more rapid nonradiative transition from 5d to 4f state, thus resulting in the lower quenching temperature. In addition, white LEDs with improved color rendering properties are achieved by using modified YAG:Ce, Tb phosphors.
