“…It is well known that Eu 3+ will be distributed on both C2 and S6 lattice sites, the magnetic dipole transitions of 5 D 0 → 7 F 1 will occur when Eu 3+ occupies the inversion symmetry center S6, and the magnetic dipole transitions of 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 will occur when Eu 3+ occupies no inversion symmetry center C2. 22 In the Y 2 O 3 lattice structure, more Y 3+ is distributed on the C2 lattice, the doped Eu 3+ will likewise be distributed more on the C2 lattice, so the intensity of the 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transitions of Eu 3+ ions is relatively high, and intense red emission at 612 nm occurs. It is possible to observed that the emission intensity of the sample also reaches its optimum at x = 0.1 and then decreases.…”
