Achieving tunable emitting YAl3(BO3)4:Eu phosphors by substituting cations (Sr2+, Ca2+, Ga3+, In3+) and controlling BO3 group polarizability
To explore the influence of the luminescence characteristics and valence state of Eu ions, a series of YAl3(BO3)4−m(PO4)m:0.05Eu, Y0.925−xACxLxBO:0.05Eu, Y0.925−yASyLyBO:0.05Eu, Y0.925−zAGzBO:0.05Eu and Y0.925−wAIwBO:0.05Eu phosphors are synthesized.
