“…12,13 So far, several garnet structured vanadates, such as LiCa 3 ZnV 3 O 12 , 14 NaCa 2 Mg 2 V 3 O 12 , 15,16 Ca 2 KZn 2 (VO 4 ) 3 , 17 and KCa 2 Mg 2 V 3 O 12 , 18 have been reported for the self-activating luminescent emissions. To expand the luminescent property of the garnet-structured vanadate phosphors, various rare earth ions have been introduced into these hosts, resulting in several new luminescent systems, such as NaCa 2 Mg 2 V 3 O 12 :Sm 3+ , 19 Ca 2 AgZn 2 V 3 O 12 :Nb 5+ , 20 CaZnV 2 O 7 :-Eu 3+ , 21 and Ca 2 KZn 2 V 3 O 12 :Dy 3+ . 22 Several questions should be discussed as the rare earth ions with characteristic luminescence being doped into hosts with self-activating emissions.…”
