Influence of annealing temperature on luminescent properties of Eu~(3+)/V~(5+) co-doped nanocrystalline Gd_2Ti_2O_7 powders

Nanosized Gd2(1-x)Eu2xTi2O7:yV5+ phosphors were prepared via sol-gel method and characterized with X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,diffuse reflectance spectra and photoluminescence spectra.Their PL properties were investigated as functions of the Eu3+ doping concentration and annealing temperature.The results indicated that the as-prepared samples showed a strong emission of Eu3+ under the irradiation of 303 nm.For Eu3+-doped Gd2Ti2O7,the orange emission at 586 nm was the strongest,which was correspond...
