Linear structural evolution induced tunable photoluminescence in clinopyroxene solid-solution phosphors.

Clinopyroxenes along the Jervisite (NaScSi2O6)-Diopside (CaMgSi2O6) join have been studied, and a solid-solution of the type (Na(1-x)Ca(x))(Sc(1-x)Mg(x))Si2O6 has been identified in the full range of 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. The powder X-ray patterns of all the phases indicate a structural similarity to the end c... View More
