Enhanced luminescence and quenching mechanisms in Na⁺ Co-doped K₇CaY₂(B₅O₁₀)₃:Tb phosphors under UV radiation.

This study investigates the structural and luminescent properties UV radiation of Tb³⁺-doped K₇CaY₂(B₅O₁₀)₃ (KCYBO) phosphors prepared using a microwave-assisted sol-gel method, with a focus on the impact of Na⁺ co-doping. Tb³⁺ ions were effectively integrated as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis, without disrupting the crystal structure. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed intense green emissions at 542 nm, which are due to the D₄ → F₅ transition in Tb³⁺.

Novel Tb³⁺-Doped LaAl₂B₄O₁₀ phosphors: Structural analysis, luminescent properties, and energy transfer mechanism.

This study explores the structural and luminescent properties of terbium (Tb³⁺)-doped lanthanum aluminium borate (LaAl₂B₄O₁₀, abbreviated as LAB) phosphors, a novel host lattice for Tb³⁺ doping. LAB:Tb³⁺ phosphors, with varying dopant concentrations, were synthesized using a microwave-assisted combustion synthesis approach and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, and photoluminescence spectroscopy at both room and low temperatures. The structural analysis confirmed the hexagonal crystal structure of LAB and revealed successful incorporation of Tb³⁺ ions without altering the fundamental lattice.

Tb-doped MgAlO phosphors: A study of structural and luminescence characteristics.

In the MgO-AlO system, magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAlO) is a technologically significant compound due to its unique properties, including a high melting point, low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal shock resistance, chemical inertness, and robust mechanical strength. This compound has diverse applications in refractory materials, catalyst supports, moisture sensors, nuclear techniques, insulating materials, and even military applications. While rare-earth elements are commonly used as dopants in luminescent materials, limited research exists on doping of Tb ions in magnesium aluminate.

Synthesis and photoluminescence characteristics of a novel Eu and Tb doped LiMoO phosphor.

LiMoO:x Eu and LiMoO:xTb phosphors, where x = 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 wt%, were synthesized through a gel-combustion method. The XRD data reveals that Eu and Tb doped LiMoO phosphors exhibit a Rhombohedral structure belonging to the space group R3 which matched well with the standard JCPDS files (No.

Synthesis and photoluminescence characteristics of Dy incorporated MoO phosphor: Suppression concentration quenching.

A series of MoO:Dy phosphors have been synthesized via the gel-combustion method. The X-ray and photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra were employed to characterize the obtained phosphors. The prepared samples were characterized through XRD measurements and exhibited that Dy ions can be successfully incorporated into the host material.
