An AlN phosphor that was coactivated by Ce3+ and Si4+ ions was synthesized by gas pressure sintering (GPS) at 2050 °C for 4 h in a 0.92 MPa nitrogen atmosphere. The phosphor emits blue color with the Commission International de l’Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinate of (0.15, 0.07), which is close to the National Television Standard Committee (NTSC) blue coordinate. The crystallization and cell parameters of the samples were investigated by Rietveld refinement and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Since the ionic size of Ce3+ ions are much larger than that of Al3+ ions, the locations of rare earth (RE) ions in the AlN lattice are unclear. An octahedral interstitial site inside the wurtzite structure is proposed to be the site for RE ions. The effect of Si substitution was verified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR). Cathodoluminescence (CL) was examined under electron bombardment at different accelerating voltages. Ni...
