A series of tungstate double perovskite Ca WO doped with Tb was prepared by a combustion process using urea as a flux. The crystal structure identification of Ca WO :Tb phosphors was done using X-ray diffraction patterns, and a monoclinic structure was discovered. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of Ca WO :Tb displayed characteristic vibrations of tungstate bonds.

A luminescent double perovskite phosphor Sr YNbO doped with Eu crystallized to the monoclinic phase and was synthesized successfully via a conventional high-temperature combustion method. The formation of the crystal structure, phase purity, and surface morphology were studied using X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy. The characteristic vibrations between the atoms of the functional groups present in phosphor were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis.

The luminescence properties of Sr2GdTaO6 have been studied by keeping Eu(3+) as constant concentration and varying Er(3+) concentration. Sr2GdTaO6 phosphor doped with rare earth ions of Eu and Er having monoclinic phase of space group P21/n was synthesized, and their photoluminescence properties have been examined under UV excitation of wavelength 265 nm and 275 nm. PL emission exhibited around 468, 475, 580, 596, and 610 nm wavelength subsequently for various concentrations of Er(3+) for two different excitation wavelengths.

We report synthesis of a cerium-activated strontium pyrophosphate (Sr2 P2 O7 ) phosphor using a high-temperature combustion method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL). The XRD pattern reveals that Sr2 P2 O7 has an α-phase with crystallization in the orthorhombic space group of Pnam.
