“…Niobates have attracted a great deal of attention in several devices due to their commendable electro-optical, photoelastic, piezo-electric, and nonlinear properties together with good mechanical and chemical stability and a wide transparency range. , The luminescence properties of rare earth ions-doped phosphors such as YNbO 4 :Eu 3+ , GdNbO 4 :Tm 3+ , Dy 3+ , and La 3 NbO 7 :Eu 3+ have been investigated in detail, ,, which are related to the host sensitization via energy transfer from host to activators based on energy matching of host photoluminescence (PL) emission and activators excitation spectra. CaNb 2 O 6 , a subcomponent of the complex perovskite family A(B′ 1/3 B″ 2/3 )O 3 , crystallizing with orthorhombic columbite structure in the space group of Pbcn (60), has been investigated as a blue luminescence material, a good dielectric material for microwave dielectric applications, a catalyst for photocatalytic splitting of water, a strong source of coherent light which can be useful in applications of holography, as well as laser host material. − In 2007, Boutinaud et al have investigated the dependence of PL properties of Tb 3+ -doped CaNb 2 O 6 on temperature . In 2011, Huang et al have shown the PL of CaNb 2 O 6 :Eu 3+ under 393 nm excitation .…”
