ABSTRACT


A highly efficient green emitting phosphor, Tb3+-activated Li3Ba2Gd3-x(MoO4)8, was synthesized by mechanochemically assisted solid state metathesis reaction route at room temperature and its luminescence properties have been investigated. Under excitation of UV light, these Li3Ba2Gd3-x(MoO4)8: xTb3+ phosphors showed a strong emission band centered at 546 nm (green) which corresponds to 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+. Analysis of the emission spectra with different Tb3+ concentrations revealed that the optimum dopant concentration for Li3Ba2Gd3-x(MoO4)8: xTb 3+ phosphors are about 8 mol% of Tb3+ The green emission intensity of the as prepared Li3Ba2Gd3-x (MoO4)8: 0.08 Tb3+ phosphors are 1.4 times greater than that of the commercial LaPO4: Ce, Tb green phosphor. All properties show that Li3Ba2Gd3-x(MoO4)8: xTb3+ is a very appropriate greenemitting phosphor for fluorescent lamp applications.
