The mechanism of particle growth of the blue emitting BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} phosphor by firing with AlF{sub 3} has been clarified. It was found that the reaction between BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} and AlF{sub 3} during firing, on the basis of the following chemical equation, results in recreation of BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} with particle growth BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} + (4/3)AlF{sub 3} {l_reversible} BaMgF{sub 4}:Eu{sup 2+} + (17/3)Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, the firing of Ba/MgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} with AlF{sub 3} first converts the phosphor into a mixture of the two compounds, BaMgF{sub 4}:Eu{sup 2+} and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, at around 1200 C. The BaMgF{sub 4}:Eu{sup 2+} melts at temperatures over 1000 C, then reacts with Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and participates in the recreation of both BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} and AlF{sub 3} through a chemical reaction between the two compounds at 1200 C in BaMgF{sub 4}:Eu{sup 2+} solutions. Recreated AlF{sub 3} appears to sublime immediately because it is a material which sublimates with heating. This paper proposes a mechanism for the growth of particle of recreated BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+} by the melting of BaMgF{sub 4}:Eu{sup 2+}.
