The present invention provides a fluorescent substance exhibiting higher brightness as compared to conventional fluorescent substances, a method for producing the same, and a light-emitting device using such a fluorescent substance. Specifically, the fluorescent substance comprises an ±-sialon crystal structure having the same crystal structure with an ±-type silicon nitride crystal, which includes at least an M(0) element (where M(0) represents one or two elements selected from Sr and La), an M(1) element (where M(1) represents one or more elements selected from Mn, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb), Si, Al, and nitrogen. |
