Patent ID: 11041122

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a wavelength-converting composition as defined by R3-x-y-zAx+yMzSi6-w1Alw1O3x+y+w1N11-7x/3-y-w1□2-2x/3, with □ being vacancies of the structure that are filled by oxygen atoms with 0<x≤3, −3≤y<3, 0<z<1,0≤w1≤6, 0≤x+y, x+y+z≤3, 11−7/3x−y−w1≤0, and 3x+y+w1≤13. R is selected from the group comprising trivalent La, Gd, Tb, Y, Lu; A is selected from the group comprising bivalent Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba, and Eu; and M is selected from the group comprising trivalent Ce, Pr and Sm.
