“…Besides, in principle, since the number of Sc ions in the asexpected solid solutions is fixed, a regular change of the crystal lattice cell with the larger V 5+ ions (i.e., 0.495 Å at four oxygen coordination numbers (CN)) being gradually replaced by the smaller P 5+ (i.e., 0.31 Å at CN = 4) [34][35][36] can therefore be expected further. In this case, when taken into account the emission positions of bulk ScVO 4 (i.e., 465 nm, 25,33 20.7 Â 10 3 cm À3 (blue-green) 32 ) and ScPO 4 (i.e., 430 nm (blue) under a moist atmosphere, 32 or B210 nm (UV, 5.6-5.9 eV) under dry conditions 37,38 ), varying the V/P ratios in the as-expected Sc(P x ,V 1Àx )O 4 solid solutions may lead to spectral tuning. Meanwhile, due to the lattice microenvironment modification that results from the radii matching between the V 5+ and P 5+ ions, there may exist some unexpected PL properties.…”
