The optical spectroscopic investigations of the obtained single crystal were reported for the absorption, excitation and emission. The experimental results show that a strong red emission at 609 nm attributing to the ~5D_0→~7F_2 transition of Eu^(3+) doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals can be obtained under the excitation of 394 nm light and reach the maximum when the Eu^(3+) doping concentration is 4 mol% in present research. The local covalent is enhanced and symmetry is reduced with the increase of Eu^(3+) concentrations inferring from the strength parameters Ω_2 and Ω_4 calculated by their measured emission spectra. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of the 4 mol% Eu^(3+) doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals are calculated as(x=0.626, y=0.3736), which are close to the NTSC standard values for red(x=0.67, y=0.33). The experimental results reveal that the single crystal can be used as potential red phosphors under near ultraviolet(NUV) light excitation.展开更多
