Abstract

A series of red-emitting phosphores containing CaWO 4 : RE (RE = Tb 3+, E u 3+, S m 3+) was prepared by an aqueous sol-gel method using tungsten (VI) oxide, WO 3, calcium nitrate tetrahidrate, Ca(NO 3) 2 · 4H 2O, terbium oxide, Tb 4O 7, europium oxide, Eu 2O 3, and samarium oxide, Sm 2O 3 as starting materials. Synthesized ceramics were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray difraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Te obtained results clearly show that only CaWO 4 : Eu phosphor can be efectively excited under photoexcitation at 280, 360 and 460 nm and exhibits red emission in the vicinity of 620 nm.
