[摘要]：Alkaline earth sulfide phosphors doped with Eu(2+) or Ce(3+) are good candidates for wavelength conversion in LEDs for general lighting applications. A very broad emission spectrum can be obtained by preparing SrS:Eu-SrS:Ce core-shell particles. These microcrystals are rectangular cuboids and can also be efficiently excited with electrons in a scanning electron microscope. The broad emission spectrum, ranging from 450 nm to 650 nm, consists of the combined emission of Ce(3+) and Eu(2+) centers. Using cathodoluminescence (CL) in a scanning electron microscope, evaluation of the emission characteristics of individual cuboids was possible. Sharp peaks in the CL-spectra of individual particles could be observed and described as being resonance modes. The spectral positions and the line widths of resonance modes in these core-shell microcrystals are predicted by an extension of the plane wave model, taking into account the dispersion of the refractive index and the existence of open orbits.
