Abstract
YBO3:Gd3+, YBO3:Gd3+, Bi3+, and YBO3:Gd3+, Pr3+ phosphors were synthesized by the combustion synthesis method. The phase analysis of all synthesized materials was determined using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Photoluminescence properties and concentration quenching of these phosphors were systematically investigated. All the samples show the characteristic narrow band UVB emission of Gd3+ ions (6PJ → 8S7/2). The maximum intensity of luminescence in synthesized materials was investigated. The energy transfer mechanism was studied using Bi3+ and Pr3+ as sensitizers, and it is observed that as compared to Bi3+, Pr3+ effectively transfers its energy to Gd3+. The Stokes shifts of YBO3:Gd3+, YBO3:Gd3+–Bi3+, and YBO3:Gd3+–Pr3+ phosphors were calculated to be 4181 cm−1, 6410 cm−1, and 7949 cm−1, respectively.
