Abstract
AbstractPyrochlore‐structured yttrium titanate phosphors activated by trivalent europium ions (Y2Ti2O7(YT):Eu3+), with spherical morphology, were synthesized at different pH values by a solvothermal process. From the structural and morphological measurements, the annealing temperature had no effect on the spherical morphology of the YT:Eu3+ sample. The photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra were taken by activating the Eu3+ ions in the YT host lattice as functions of Eu3+ ion concentration and annealing temperature. The optimal doping concentration was found to be 4 mol%, exhibiting an excellent orange–red emission due to the highest intensity of the 5D0 → 7F1 transition. When the YT:Eu3+ phosphor was mixed with YAG:Ce3+ phosphor, a brilliant white light emission was achieved. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
