Controlled processing of (Gd,Ln)2O3:Eu (Ln = Y, Lu) red phosphor particles and compositional effects on photoluminescence

Synthesis of (Gd0.95−xLnxEu0.05)2O3 (Ln = Y and Lu, x = 0–0.95) powders via ammonium hydrogen carbonate (AHC) precipitation has been systematically studied. The best synthesis parameters are found to be an AHC/total cation molar ratio of 4.5 and an ageing time of 3 h. The effects of Y3+ and Lu3+ sub...
