Photoluminescence properties of NUV light excited Ba(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3:Eu3+ red phosphor with high color purity

In this work, a new red phosphor with high color purity, Eu³⁺ ions doped Ba(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ phosphor has been prepared by wet chemical method. The structure analysis suggests BMN:x%Eu phosphors have a hexagonal phase and Ba²⁺ ions are replaced by Eu³⁺ ions in BMN. Upon excitation of NUV light, the BMN:x%Eu phosphors emit strong red light around 615?nm, derived from the ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ions. The relationship between luminescent properties and structure of BMN:x%Eu was discussed. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄) were calculated to analyze the asymmetry of the Eu³⁺ ions site occupancy further, and the quantum efficiency of BMN:3%Eu was found to be 77.26%. In addition, the decay curve indicates the decay time(τ) of BMN:3%Eu is determined to be 1.34?ms and Eu³⁺ ions occupy only one type of site. The CIE chromaticity coordinate (0.656,0.344) of BMN:3%Eu is quite close to the red phosphors standard value (0.670, 0.330), which indicates BMN:x%Eu can be a suitable red phosphor used in NUV-based white LEDs.     

A novel scheelite-type LiCaGd(WO4)3:Eu3+ red phosphors with prominent thermal stability and high quantum efficiency

A series of LiCaGd(WO4)3 : xEu³⁺ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) red phosphors with tetragonal scheelite structure were synthesized via the conventional solid-state reaction. Their crystal structure, photoluminescence excitation (PLE), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, thermal stability and quantum efficiency were investigated. The phosphors exhibit a typical red light upon 395 nm near ultraviolet excitation, and the strongest emission peak at 617 nm is dominated by the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ions. The PL intensity of the phosphors gradually increases with the increase of Eu³⁺ doping concentration, and the concentration quenching phenomenon is hardly observed. The quantum efficiency and the color purity of the phosphor reach maximum values of about 94.2 and 96.6% at x = 1.0, respectively. More importantly, LiCaGd(WO₄)₃:xEu³⁺ phosphors have prominent thermal stability. The temperature-dependent PL intensity of the phosphors at 423 K is only reduced to 89.1% of the PL intensity at 303 K, which is superior to that of commercial red phosphors Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺. Finally, LiCaGd(WO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ phosphor is packaged with near ultraviolet InGaN chips to fabricate white light emitting diodes, which has a low color temperature (CCT = 4622 K) and a high color rendering index (CRI= 89.6).     

White light emission from novel host-sensitized single-phase Y2WO6: Ln3+ (Ln3+=Eu3+, Dy3+) phosphors

A series of Eu³⁺- or Dy³⁺-doped and Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ co-doped Y₂WO₆ in pure phase was synthesized via high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflection spectra, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, the CIE chromaticity coordinates and temperature-dependent emission spectra were exploited to investigate the phosphors. Upon UV excitation at 310 nm, efficient energy transfer from the host Y₂WO₆ to dopant ions in Eu³⁺ or Dy³⁺ single-doped samples was demonstrated and those phosphors were suitable for the UV LED excitation. The intense red emission was observed in Y₂WO₆: Eu³⁺, and blue and yellow ones were observed in Y₂WO₆: Dy³⁺. Concentration quenching in Y₂WO₆: Dy³⁺ phosphors could be attributed to the electric dipole-dipole interaction. In Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ co-doped Y₂WO₆ phosphors energy transfer process only took place from the host to Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ ions and warm white-light emission can be obtained by adjusting the dopant concentrations. The temperature-dependent luminescence indicated Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ co-doped Y₂WO₆ was thermally stable. Our overall results suggested that Y₂WO₆: Ln³⁺ (Ln³⁺=Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺) as warm white-light emitting host-sensitized phosphor might be potentially applied in WLEDs.     

Europium-activated phosphor Ba3Lu2B6O15: Influence of isomorphic substitution on photoluminescence properties

This work demonstrates the luminescent properties of Ba₃Lu₂B₆O₁₅ phosphors doped with Eu³⁺ ions for the first time. The Ba₃(Lu_1–xEu_x)₂B₆O₁₅ (x = 0.01–0.375) phosphors have been prepared using a multi-step high-temperature solid-state synthesis. X-ray diffraction measurements verify the successful isomorphic substitution of the Lu³⁺ sites by the Eu³⁺ ions. The luminescence properties and its dependence on the crystal structure of Ba₃(Lu_1–xEu_x)₂B₆O₁₅ have been reported in this work. There are two nonequivalent sites in this crystal structures occupied by lutetium, both of them can be consistently substituted by the Eu³⁺ ions. The highest emission intensity with quantum yield of 17% was demonstrated by Ba₃(Lu_0.82Eu_0.18)₂B₆O₁₅ powder. Increase of Eu³⁺ doping concentration leads to gradual change of chromaticity from violet to red. It was expected that Ba₃(Lu_1–xEu_x)₂B₆O₁₅ phosphors can be used as a phosphor with predicted chromaticity under LED excitation.     

Controllable hydrothermal synthesis and photoluminescence properties of CaGd2(WO4)4:Eu3+ red-emitting phosphor

CaGd₂(WO₄)₄:Eu³⁺ phosphors with controllable morphology were synthesized via the hydrothermal method. The influences of pH value, reaction time and Eu³⁺ concentration on the crystal structure, morphology, and photoluminescence properties of CaGd₂(WO₄)₄:Eu³⁺ were studied. The pure tetragonal structure CaGd₂(WO₄)₄ is obtained when the pH value is 8 and 9. Furthermore, by altering the pH value of the reaction solution, the morphologies of the CaGd₂(WO₄)₄:Eu³⁺ phosphors evolve from spindle-shaped grains to tetragonal plate-like grains and finally to aggregated bulk particles. Under the 394 nm excitation, the phosphors display a bright red emission corresponding to the characteristic 4f-4f transitions of Eu³⁺, and the intensity of emission peaks depends mainly on the pH value, the reaction time, and the Eu³⁺ concentration. The optimum photoluminescence performance is achieved for CaGd_2-x(WO₄)₄:xEu³⁺ (x = 1) phosphor synthesized at pH = 8 under the reaction time of 16 h. Finally, the thermal stability of the phosphors is analyzed at different ambient temperatures.     

A new series of low-temperature cofirable Li3Ba2La3(1-x)Y3x(MoO4)8 microwave dielectric ceramics

A new series of Li₃Ba₂La_3(1-x)Y_3x(MoO₄)₈ microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The Rietveld refinement results further confirm that Li₃Ba₂La_3(1-x)Y_3x(MoO₄)₈ belongs to a monoclinic system with space group C2/c. Scanning electron microscopy results reveal that Li₃Ba₂La_3(1-x)Y_3x(MoO₄)₈ ceramics can be well sintered at a low sintering temperature. In addition, the permittivity (ε_r) of Li₃Ba₂La_3(1-x)Y_3x(MoO₄)₈ ceramics was found to decrease gradually with increasing substitution content of Y³⁺, while the quality factor (Qxf) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ_f) increase with x monotonously. The x?=?0.4 ceramic sintered at 700?°C for 4?h possesses optimum microwave dielectric properties of ε_r ～ 14.4, Qxf ～ 14,994?GHz (at 9.0?GHz) and τ_f ～?+?6.9?ppm/°C. Particularly, no chemical reaction between the matrix phase and Ag metal suggests that the Li₃Ba₂La_1.8Y_1.2(MoO₄)₈ ceramic might be a promising candidate for low-temperature co-fired ceramic applications.     

Reveal luminescence differences via comparative studies of dynamic spectra in Eu3+-activated BaLa2WO7 and SrLa2WO7 phosphors

Eu³⁺-doped BaLa₂WO₇ and SrLa₂WO₇ phosphors were prepared using the conventional solid-state reaction synthesis. The experiments have confirmed that the luminescence properties are completely different although they the isostructural monoclinic structure with a monoclinic space group of P21/b: compared with SrLa₂WO₇:Eu³⁺, BaLa₂WO₇:Eu³⁺ has stronger luminescence and higher thermal stability. The dynamic characteristics were studied via the laser site-selective excitation and luminescence technique. The two distinct Eu³⁺ centers Eu³⁺(A) and Eu³⁺(B) were confirmed corresponding to the substitution for La1 and La2, respectively. Eu³⁺(A) could transfer energy to Eu³⁺(B) in BaLa₂WO₇:Eu³⁺, but Eu³⁺(B) cannot realize back transfer to Eu³⁺(A). However, a mutual energy transfer could be achieved between Eu³⁺(A) and Eu³⁺(B) in SrLa₂WO₇:Eu³⁺ resulting in excitation energy diffusion. The energy dispersion may cause the excited electrons to be trapped in some defects and impurities, thereby reducing the luminescence effect. The results could help develop new reddish-orange emitting materials by introducing Eu³⁺ as a structural probe for doping sites and microstructure.     

Preparation and Luminescence Properties of Blue‐emitting Phosphor Ba2Ca(PO4)2:Eu2+

Using the conventional high temperature solid‐state reaction method Ba₂Ca(PO₄)₂:Eu²⁺ phosphors were prepared. The phase structure, photoluminescence (PL) properties, and the PL thermal stability of the samples were investigated, respectively. Under the excitation at 365 nm, the phosphor exhibited an asymmetric broad‐band blue emission with peak at 454 nm, which is ascribed to the 4f–5d transition of Eu²⁺. It was further proved that the dipole–dipole interactions results in the concentration quenching of Eu²⁺ in Ba₂Ca_1?x (PO₄)₂:xEu²⁺ phosphors. When the temperature turned up to 150°C, the emission intensity of Ba₂Ca_0.99(PO₄)₂:0.01Eu²⁺ phosphor was 59.07% of the initial value at room temperature. The activation energy ΔE was calculated to be 0.30 eV, which proved the good thermal stability of the sample. All the properties indicated that the blue‐emitting Ba₂Ca(PO₄)₂:Eu²⁺ phosphor has potential application in white LEDs.     

Novel Emitting‐Color Tunable Phosphors Ba3Y2(BO3)4:Ce3+,Tb3+ with Efficient Energy Transfer for Near‐UV Light‐Emitting Diodes

This work presents the ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic properties of Ba₃Y₂(BO₃)₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors prepared by a high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. Under ultraviolet light excitation, tunable emission from the blue to yellowish‐green region was obtained by changing the doping concentration of Tb³⁺ when the content of Ce³⁺ is fixed. The efficient energy transfer process between Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions was observed and confirmed in terms of corresponding excitation and emission spectra. In addition, the energy transfer mechanism between Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ was proved to be dipole–dipole interaction in Ba₃Y₂(BO₃)₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphor. By utilizing the principle of energy transfer and appropriate tuning of Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ contents, Ba₃Y(BO₃)₄:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors can have potential application as an UV‐convertible phosphor for near‐UV excited white light‐emitting diodes.     

Sr-induced color-tunable and thermal stability enhancing in the phosphor (Ba1-xSrx)9Lu2Si6O24:Eu2+ for solid-state lighting

Rare earth ions’ site occupation is significant for studying luminescence properties by changing the host composition. The (Ba_1-xSr_x)₉Lu₂Si₆O₂₄:Eu²⁺ (x = 0-0.4) tunable-color phosphors were synthesized via a high temperature solid-state reaction. With the Sr²⁺ ions concentration increase, the luminescent color could be tuned from blue to green. This phenomenon is discussed in detail through the ions occupation in the host lattice. More importantly, the temperature-dependent luminescence of (Ba_1-xSr_x)₉Lu₂Si₆O₂₄:Eu²⁺ phosphors was investigated and exhibited excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, white LED device has been fabricated using (Ba_1-xSr_x)₉Lu₂Si₆O₂₄:Eu²⁺ phosphor mixed with commercial red phosphor Sr₂Si₅N₈:Eu³⁺ combined with a 370 nm UV-chip. This device showed correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5125 K and high color render index (CRI) of 91. This phosphor will be a promising candidate as a tunable-color phosphor for UV-based white LEDs.     

Luminescence and temperature-sensing properties of Y4GeO8:Bi3+,Eu3+ phosphor

In this paper, Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor with dual emission centers was elaborated via conventional solid-state reaction technology. Thorough research on the structure, morphology, and luminous properties of Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor, the potential applications in optical thermometry were investigated by means of fluorescence intensity ratio and thermochromic techniques. Under 290 and 347 nm excitation, Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor presents broadband emission from ³P₁ → ¹S₀ transition of Bi³⁺ ions and characteristic emission peaks from 4f–4f transition of Eu³⁺ ions. Outstanding temperature-sensing capabilities are acquired from Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor. The maximum relative sensitivity (S_r) can attain 1.51% K⁻¹ (λ_ex = 290 nm). With temperature raising (303–513 K), the emitted color of Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor (λ_ex = 290 nm) shifts from faint yellow to red with a high chromaticity shift (0.180), which can be distinguished by the unaided eye clearly. Our results indicate that Y₄GeO₈:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphor has potential applications in optical temperature measurement and high-temperature safety marker.     

The doping concentration dependent tunable yellow luminescence of Sr5(PO4)2(SiO4):Eu

Color tunable yellow-emitting phosphors of Sr_5−5xEu_5x(PO₄)₂SiO₄ (x = 0.05-0.15) were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns, the photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra were measured. The main excitation bands of the phosphors locate at a broad band extending from 300 to 500 nm, which can match the emission of ultraviolet- and blue-emitting diode chips. The tunable luminescence color was realized by the changing Eu²⁺ doping in Sr₅(PO₄)₂SiO₄. The structure and luminescence properties were investigated. Sr_5−5x(PO₄)₂SiO₄:Eu_5x displays two typical luminescence centers, which originate from two different Sr²⁺ (Eu²⁺) sites in the host. The site-occupation, the luminescence intensity and energy transfer between the Eu²⁺ ions occupying two different crystallographic Sr²⁺ sites were discussed on the base of the luminescence spectra and crystal structure. This is helpful to improve this phosphor for a potential application as a white light emitting diode phosphor.     

Novel Broadband Excited and Linear Red‐Emitting Ba2Y(BO3)2Cl: Ce3+, Tb3+, Eu3+ Phosphor: Luminescence and Energy Transfer

A series of Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ tri‐doped Ba₂Y(BO₃)₂Cl red‐emitting phosphor have been synthesized by solid‐state method. The Ce³⁺→Tb³⁺→Eu³⁺ energy‐transfer scheme has been proposed to realize the sensitization of Eu³⁺ ion emission by Ce³⁺ ions. Following this energy‐transfer model, near‐UV convertible Eu³⁺‐activated red phosphors have been obtained in Ba₂Y(BO₃)₂Cl: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors. Energy transfers from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺, and Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺, as well as corresponding energy‐transfer efficiencies are investigated. The combination of narrow‐line red emission and near‐UV broadband excitation makes Ba₂Y(BO₃)₂Cl: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ as a novel and efficient red phosphor for NUV LED applications.     

White light emitting from YVO4/Y2O3:Eu3+,Bi3+ composite phosphors for UV light-emitting diodes

A series of (1−x)YVO₄/xY₂O₃:Eu³⁺_0.006,Bi³⁺_0.006 (0≤x≤0.54) composite phosphors was synthesized in one step by high temperature solid state reaction and the photoluminescence properties were investigated. By means of co-doping Eu³⁺ and Bi³⁺ ions into the composite matrices composed of YVO₄ and Y₂O₃ crystals, the YVO₄/Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺,Bi³⁺ phosphor exhibits simultaneously the blue (418 nm), green (540 nm) and orange-red (595, 620 nm) emissions. The broad blue and green emissions are attributed to the ³P₁–¹S₀ transitions of Bi³⁺ ion both in Y₂O₃ and in YVO₄ matrices. Moreover, the sharp orange-red emissions are attributed to the ⁵D₀–⁷F_1,2 transitions of Eu³⁺ ion in YVO₄ matrix. By tuning the mole ratio of YVO₄/Y₂O₃ matrices the white light-emitting could be obtained. The results indicated that when the mole ratio of Y₂O₃ (x) is at 0.11–0.54 mol, the (1−x)YVO₄/xY₂O₃:Eu³⁺_0.006,Bi³⁺_0.006 phosphors emit white light by combining the blue, green and orange-red emissions under the excitation of 360–370 nm wavelength which matches the emission of the commercial UV-LED diode. This implies that the phosphors may be the promising white light materials with broad absorption band for white light-emitting diodes.     

Effect of singly,doubly and triply ionized ions on downconversion photoluminescence in Eu3+ doped Na2Sr2Al2PO4Cl9 phosphor: A comparative study

We report a change in the red photoluminescence of the Eu³⁺ doped Na₂Sr₂Al₂PO₄Cl₉ phosphor via doping of singly, doubly and triply ionized ions. The synthesized phosphors show good crystalline nature. The EDS analysis confirms the presence of desired elements in the phosphor samples. The vibrational feature of the phosphor was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of the phosphor show three peaks at 317, 395 and 467 nm. The Eu³⁺ doped Na₂Sr₂Al₂PO₄Cl₉ phosphor emits intense red color on excitations with 395 and 467 nm wavelengths. However, the photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor is larger for 395 nm excitation. When the singly, doubly and triply ionized ions are co-doped in the Eu³⁺ doped Na₂Sr₂Al₂PO₄Cl₉ phosphor (i.e. F⁻, WO₄²⁻, MoO₄²⁻, VO₄³⁻, La³⁺, and Y³⁺) the photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor is decreased significantly. The decrease in photoluminescence intensity is due to change in local crystal structure created by these ions. Interestingly, the photoluminescence intensity of phosphor increases many times when the (Y³⁺) ion incorporated phosphor is excited with 317 nm wavelength. The CIE diagram shows color emitted in the red region of visible spectrum and the color purity is larger for triply ionized (Y³⁺) ion. Thus, the singly, doubly and triply ionized ions activated Na₂Sr₂Al₂PO₄Cl₉: Eu³⁺ phosphor may be used in displays devices, photonic devices, solid state lighting and white LEDs.     

Investigation of Eu2+ luminescence in barium tetraphosphate Ba3P4O13 polycrystalline ceramics

In this paper, Ba₃P₄O₁₃:Eu²⁺ phosphor was synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectrum and luminescence decay kinetics confirm that the doped Eu²⁺ ions can occupy two different Ba²⁺ sites. The PL excitation spectrum shows a broad band matching well with the emission of near-UV chip. Ba₃P₄O₁₃:Eu²⁺ is a promising phosphor for near-UV chip excited white LEDs. The doped Eu³⁺ ions can also be reduced to Eu²⁺ ions in air atmosphere at high temperature. Charge compensation mechanism is applied to explain this kind of abnormal reduction.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of single‐component Ca5(PO4)3F:Dy3+, Eu3+ white‐emitting phosphors

A series of Ca₅(PO₄)₃F:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors was synthesized by a solid‐state reaction method. The XRD results show that all as‐prepared Ca₅(PO₄)₃F:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ samples match well with the standard Ca₅(PO₄)₃F structure and the doped Dy³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions have no effect on the crystal structure. Under near‐ultraviolet excitation, Dy³⁺ doped Ca₅(PO₄)₃F phosphor shows blue (486 nm) and yellow (579 nm) emissions, which correspond to ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transitions respectively. Eu³⁺ co‐doped Ca₅(PO₄)₃F:Dy³⁺ phosphor shows the additional red emission of Eu³⁺ at 631 nm, and an improved color rendering index. The chromaticity coordinates of Ca₅(PO₄)₃F:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors also indicate the excellent warm white emission characteristics and low correlated color temperature. Overall, these results suggest that the Ca₅(PO₄)₃F:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors have potential applications in warm white light‐emitting diodes as single‐component phosphor.     

A Novel Synthesis of Green Apatite‐Type Y5(SiO4)3N:Eu2+ Phosphor via SiC‐Assisted Sol–Gel Route

A green Y₅(SiO₄)₃N:Eu²⁺ phosphor has been successfully prepared by developing a new SiC reduction‐assisted sol–gel method. The valence state of Eu ions was identified with XPS analysis and the photoluminescence spectrum presents a Eu²⁺ typical broad green emission band. XRD analysis, photoluminescence and excitation measurement, and FTIR test were also carried out, to obtain crystal phase, light emitting, and chemical bonding results. The specific mechanism of SiC reductant in the synthetic process was studied in details. This novel method shows lower equipment requirements and is cost saving. The method can extend applications in synthesizing other silicon‐based oxynitrides.     

Crystal structure,luminescent properties and white light emitting diode application of Ba3GdNa(PO4)3F:Eu2+ single-phase white light-emitting phosphor

A series of single-phase white-light-emitting phosphors, Eu²⁺-activated Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The crystal structure of Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F was been identified by Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction pattern. The Eu²⁺-activated Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F phosphors exhibit broad excitation spectra from 250 to 420 nm, which matched well with the n-UV LED chips. Under the excitation of 365 nm, the emission spectrum almost covered the entire visible region including two emission bands peaked at 472 nm and 640 nm. Three different Eu²⁺ emission centers in Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F:Eu²⁺ phosphor were confirmed by their fluorescence decay lifetimes. The optimal concentration of Eu²⁺ in Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F:xEu²⁺ was 3 mol% and the corresponding concentration quenching mechanism was verified to be exchange coupling interaction. Furthermore, the white light-emitting diode fabricated with Ba₃GdNa(PO₄)₃F:0.05Eu²⁺ phosphor and a 370 nm UV chip has a CIE of (0.3267, 0.2976) with a color-rendering index of 78.4 at the CCT of 5287 K.     

Photoluminescence properties of Eu-doped WO3-Eu2(WO4)3 composites and single-phase Eu2(WO4)3 powders

The development of highly stable and efficient oxide-based red phosphors is urgently required for next-generation lighting devices. Herein, we report the micro/crystal structures and luminescent properties of single-phase Eu₂(WO₄)₃ and Eu³⁺-doped WO₃-Eu₂(WO₄)₃ composite phosphors prepared by a one-step conventional solid-state reaction method in air atmosphere. As increasing Eu contents in the mixtures of WO₃ and Eu₂O₃, the intensities of the X-ray diffraction peaks of Eu₂(WO₄)₃ increased while that of WO₃ decreased. The photoluminescence intensity of the synthesized phosphors increased with increase in the Eu content when calcined at 900 °C, while it degraded at a higher temperature. Red-emitting single-phase Eu₂(WO₄)₃ powders were successfully obtained when the WO₃ and Eu₂O₃ powders were calcined in the ratio of 3:1. The intensity of the red emission spectra of the Eu₂(WO₄)₃ phosphor was higher than those of the 6, 12, and 24 at.% Eu-added WO₃ composites at excitation wavelengths of 394 and 465 nm. On the other hand, the intensity of emission from the single-phase phosphor was lower than that of the Eu-doped WO₃-Eu₂(WO₄)₃ composites under excitation of UV light at 254 nm. Thus, we propose two prospective phosphors for application as red phosphors at various wavelengths.
