A broad absorption band with peak maximum at 272 nm was observed which was due to the charge transfer between Eu3＋ ions and neighboring oxygen anions. A deep red emission at the peak wavelength of 612 nm was observed which could be attributed to the 5D0→7F2 transition in Eu3＋ ions. The highest luminance for Y1-x-yGdyNbO4：Eux3＋ under 254 nm excitation was achieved at Eu3＋ concentration of 18 mol.% （x=0.18） and Gd3＋ concentration of 8.2 mol.% （y=0.082）. The luminance of Y0.738Gd0.082NbO4：Eu3＋0.18 was higher than that of a typical commercial phosphor Y2O3：Eu3＋ and the CIE chromaticity coordinate was （0.6490, 0.3506）, which was deeper than that of Y2O3：Eu3＋. The particle size of the synthesized phosphors was controlled by the NaCl flux and particle size as high as 8 μm with uniform size distribution of particles was obtained.展开更多
