Abstract
Submicron-powder luminophores CaMoO4 and CaWO4 obtained via solid-phase reactions have been studied using diffuse-reflection (DR) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It is found that the diffuse-reflection spectrum in the range of a fundamental absorption edge of <300 nm is distorted by PL overlapping, so that subsequent calculations of optical band gap E g of luminophores CaMoO4 and CaWO4 result in an overestimation of this value. An algorithm for the correct processing of diffuse-reflection spectra is described. It is based on a subtraction of the photoluminescence spectrum in the range of fundamental absorption. The correct E g values and energy values for the defect levels in the bandgap of CaWO4 and CaMoO4 are determined to amount to 4.78, 4.83, and 4.86 ± 0.01 eV and 3.97, 4.07, 4.16 ± 0.01 eV, respectively.
