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.

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.

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.

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.
