Abstract: Red phosphors (Ca1-xSrx)TiO3:0.002Pr3+ (x=0~0.6) were prepared by solid state reaction route and their properties were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectra and XRD,
respectively. All samples have a red emission peak at 612nm due to the intra-4f transition of Pr3+ from 1D2 to 3H4 state. The results
indicate that both emission intensity and a axis parameter show an extremum at x=0.15: the emission intensity is enhanced about 3 times, and the lattice
parameter of a axis shows a minimum value. The results show that, besides the charge defects induced by unequilvalent ion substitution, the equilvalent
Sr2+ substitution for Ca2+ can also influence the emission intensity through the crystal structure evolution.
