The dysprosium activating La3SbO7 white-emitting phosphors were prepared via solid-state route at 1350°C in air atmosphere and its photoluminescence properties were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectra in details. La3SbO7:Dy3+ phosphor with excitation at 353 nm emitted blue light (490 nm) and yellow (580 nm) which were assigned to 4F9/2–6Hj/2 transitions (J=15, 13), respectively. Moreover, the transition 4F9/2–6H13/2 was the strongest emission intensity between two typical emission bands. The CIE of prepared phosphors entered into white region. The optimal emission intensity of the La3SbO7:Dy3+ luminescent materials was realized when x = 0.15 and the concentration quenching mechanism of Dy3+ has also been tested. And the La3SbO7:Dy3+ can be as a white-emitting phosphor applied in n-UV LEDs on results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
