Abstract:

Luminescent materials YVO4∶Sm3+ were successfully prepared using NaNO3 as the molten salt by molten salt synthesis(MSS) method. The phosphors obtained were treated with different calcination temperatures and doping concentrations to get better luminescent properties. The uniformity of phase of Sm3+ doped YVO4 phosphor was checked by X-ray diffraction(XRD) technique. In addition, the dependence of the luminescence intensity on doping concentrations and annealing temperatures were discussed. The results show the characteristic emissions of the doped rare earth ions(Sm3+) in YVO4 hosts. The emission at 647 nm due to 4G5/2-6H9/2 transition of Sm3+ ions was improved drastically by MSS method than other methods. All samples show red emission and the best red light emission is observed with YVO4∶Sm3+(Sm3+ molar fraction 1%) after calcinated at 500 ℃ for 5 h.
