Abstract
Sm 3+ ions doped Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 TiO 3 (BNTO: x Sm 3+ ) polycrystalline samples with different Sm 3+ concentrations were synthesized through the solid-state reaction method. Their microstructural, photoluminescence, and ferroelectric (FE) properties were investigated. Strong reddish-orange emission centered at 597 nm has been successfully observed at room temperature. More importantly, the strong emission of BNTO: x Sm 3+ can be excited by both blue light and near ultraviolet radiation which indicates that BNTO: x Sm 3+ can act as a potential phosphor. Furthermore, the optimized photoluminescence is realized in BNTO: x Sm 3+ with x =0.02 sample which also shows relatively good ferroelectric properties.
