(Gd0.93−xTb0.07Eux)2O3 (x = 0–0.10) phosphors shows great potential for applications in the lighting and display areas. (Gd0.93−xTb0.07Eux)2O3 phosphors with controlled morphology were prepared by a hydrothermal method, followed by calcination at 1100 °C. XRD, FE-SEM, PL/PLE, luminescent decay analysis and thermal stability have been performed to investigate the Eu3+ content and the effects of hydrothermal conditions on the phase variation, microstructure, luminescent properties and energy transfer. Optimum excitation wavelength at ~308 nm nanometer ascribed to the 4f8-4f75d1 transition of Tb3+, the (Gd0.93−xTb0.07Eux)2O3 phosphors display both Tb3+and Eu3+ emission with the strongest emission band at ~611 nm. For increasing Eu3+ content, the Eu3+ emission intensity increased as well while the Tb3+ emission intensity decreased owing to Tb3+→Eu3+ energy transfer. The energy transfer efficiencies were calculated and the energy transfer mechanism was discussed in detail. The lifetime for both the Eu3+ and Tb3+ emission decreases with the Eu3+ addition, the former is due to the formation of resonant energy transfer net, and the latter is because of contribution by Tb3+→Eu3+ energy transfer. The phosphor morphology can be controlled by adjusting the hydrothermal condition (reaction pH), and the morphological influence to the luminescent properties (PL/PLE, decay lifetime, etc.) has been studied in detail.

In this work the influence of the Ga3+ concentration on the luminescent properties and the abilities of the Y3Al5−xGaxO12: V nanocrystals to noncontact temperature sensing were investigated. It was shown that the increase of the Ga3+ amount enables enhancement of V4+ emission intensity in respect to the V3+ and V5+ and thus modify the color of emission. The introduction of Ga3+ ions provides the appearance of the crystallographic sites, suitable for V4+ occupation. Consequently, the increase of V4+ amount facilitates V5+ → V4+ interionic energy transfer throughout the shortening of the distance between interacting ions. The opposite thermal dependence of V4+ and V5+ emission intensities enables to create the bandshape luminescent thermometr of the highest relative sensitivity of V-based luminescent thermometers reported up to date (Smax, 2.64%/°C, for Y3Al2Ga3O12 at 0 °C). An approach of tuning the performance of Y3Al5−xGaxO12: V nanocrystals to luminescent temperature sensing, including the spectral response, maximal relative sensitivity and usable temperature range, by the Ga3+ doping was presented and discussed.

Y2.94−xAl5O12(YAG):Ce0.06Prxphosphors with various Pr3+concentrations (x=0, 0.006, 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09) were synthesized by using a coprecipitation method. The phases, luminescent properties, and energy transfer phenomenon from Ce3+to Pr3+were investigated. The results indicated that the doping of Pr3+  (x≤0.09)did not produce any new phases but caused a slight lattice parameters increase. After Pr3+doping, the YAG:CePr phosphor emits red light at 610 nm, which was regarded helpful for improving the colour rendering index of the phosphor. With Pr3+concentration increase from 0.006 to 0.01 mol, the intensity of red light emission increased slightly; further increasing Pr3+concentration from 0.01 to 0.09, the red light emission intensity decreased gradually. Excitation at 340, and 460 nm could not lead to the direct electronic excitation of Pr3+ions; however, when YAG:CePr was excited at 340 nm a red light emission at 610 nm appeared, which implied the energy transfer phenomenon from Ce3+to Pr3+.
