Niobium-oxygen octahedra and oxygen interstitial defect emissions in calcium niobate matrix and its color manipulation via doping Pr3+

The luminescent properties of Ca2Nb2O7 matrix and Ca2Nb2O7: Pr3+ were studied in this work. In addition to the emission band from NbO6 octahedra, the orange-red emission aroused by oxygen interstitial defects was observed in Ca2Nb2O7. When Pr3+ was introduced, both of the matrix emission and the cha...
