New green-emitting Sr4ScAl3O10:Eu2+ phosphor was prepared using a novel melt quenching synthesis method. The temperature of raw materials irradiated with the strong light of the Xe arc-lamp was rose up to about 2273 K, followed by a sharp drop in the temperature after turn off the lamp. This method is a useful tool for rapid screening of novel phosphor materials.
