Photoluminescence properties of Li2+xNb3xTi1−4xO3:Eu3+
Red phosphors with compositions of Li[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O3:3[Formula: see text]wt.% Eu[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectroscopy, respectively. XRD results showed that all samples were main phase of Li2TiO3. Emission spectra of Li[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O3:3[Formula: see text]wt.% Eu[Formula: see text] powders showed strong red emission at 612[Formula: see text]nm (5D0–7F[Formula: see text] with 396[Formula: see text]nm excitation. In addition, the excitation and emission intensity increased up to [Formula: see text], and then decreased with further increasing of the x values. And the chromaticity coordinate (CIE) of the component with [Formula: see text] was superior to other components.
