“…Rare-earth (RE) elements doped phosphors, due to the inherent chemical and physical stability ascribed to a partially filled inner (4f n ) shell shielded from its surroundings by completely filled outer (5s 2 and 5p 6 ) orbitals, reach overwhelming superiority over other phosphors in the fields of optoelectronic and photonic applications, ranging from solid-state lasers, displays to optical fiber telecommunication and phosphors for colors lamps [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Among them, trivalent samarium Sm 3+ with 4f 5 configuration has the excellently stable emission spectra in the range of visible light originated from the various possible transitions among 6 H , 6 P , 4 G, 4 F, 4 I, and 4 M, suggesting that Sm 3+ -doped phosphors for the application of light emitting diodes (LEDs), especially for white LEDs [10,11,4].…”
