cation from the 2E to the 4A2 state. The phosphor can be excited by near ultraviolet or blue LED light because it
had a broad excitation band from the near-ultraviolet to the blue light region. The emission intensity was in-
creased by co-doping with Mg2+ cations, which act as charge compensators. The amount of Mg required for the
most effective charge compensation was 10 times the optimum Mn concentration. From these results, we con-
firmed that Sr2Al6O11 could act as the host structure for Mn4+-doped phosphors.

In this paper, we report the synthesis and photoluminescence
