Abstract

Tb³⁺ions activated Ba₄La₆O(SiO₄)₆ (BLSO:Tb³⁺) phosphors were synthesized by a citrate sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed their oxyapatite structure. The field-emission scanning electron microscope image established that the BLSO:Tb³⁺phosphor particles were closely-packed and acquired irregular shapes. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra of BLSO:Tb³⁺phosphors showed intense f-d transitions along with low intense peaks corresponding to the f-f transitions of Tb³⁺ions in the lower energy region. The PL emission spectra displayed the characteristic emission bands of Tb³⁺ions, and the optimized concentrations were found to be at 1 and 6 mol% for blue and green emission peaks, respectively. The cathodoluminescece (CL) spectra exhibited a similar behavior that was observed in the PL spectra except the intensity variations in the blue and green regions. The CL spectra of the BLSO:6 mol% Tb³⁺phosphor unveiled accelerating voltage induced luminescent properties.
