TI  - Bandgap Tailoring via Si Doping in Inverse-Garnet Mg3Y2Ge3O12:Ce(3+) Persistent 
      Phosphor Potentially Applicable in AC-LED.

AB  - The state-of-the-art alternating-current light-emitting diode (AC-LED) technique 
      suffers from adverse lighting flicker during each AC cycle. Aiming to compensate 
      the dimming time of AC-LED, herein, we report a novel Mg3Y2(Ge1-xSix)3O12:Ce(3+) 
      inverse-garnet persistent phosphor whose afterglow is efficiently activated by 
      blue light with persistent luminescence in millisecond range. It is 
      experimentally demonstrated that Si doping tailors the host bandgap, so that both 
      the electron charging and detrapping in the persistent luminescence process are 
      optimized. To explore the origin of the millisecond afterglow, we performed a 
      series of thermoluminescence analyses, revealing three types of continuously 
      distributed traps in the host. Finally, an AC-LED prototype device was 
      fabricated, which exhibits the warm white emission with a reduced percent flicker 
      of 71.7%. These results demonstrate that the newly developed persistent phosphor 
      might be a promising candidate applicable in low flickering AC-LED which has 
      advantages of cheaper price, longer lifetime, and higher energy utilization 
      efficiency.
