Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the invention is to provide a phosphor that emits a light containing much red and green light components and a light-emitting device and a lighting apparatus comprising the phosphor that have favorable color rendering properties. An oxide nitride phosphor having a garnet structure represented by Formula [1]: A w Al x C y :Ce z , in Formula [1], A=(Lu a ,Y b ), a+b=1, 0<a<1, 0<b<1, C═(O c ,N d ), 10≦c+d≦16, 1.4≦c/d, 2≦w+z≦4, 4.0<x≦7.0); the molar ratio of Ce/A is ≧0.015 and the nitrogen content is 0.007 mass % or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A phosphor having a garnet structure represented by General Formula: (Lu a ,Y b ) w Al x (O c ,N d ) y :Ce z , wherein a+b=1, 0<a<1, 0<b<1, 10≦(c+d)×y≦16, 1.4≦c/d, 2≦w+z≦4, and 4.0<x≦7.0; the molar ratio of Ce and (sum of Lu+Y) is 0.015≦Ce/(Lu+Y) and the nitrogen content is 0.007 mass % or more. 2. A light-emitting device comprising a light-emitting element and the phosphor according to claim 1 . 3. A lighting apparatus comprising the light-emitting device according to claim 2 .
