Y2O3:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu or Tb) nanocrystals with different Ln3+ doping concentrations and average sizes were prepared by chemical self-combustion. The corresponding bulk materials with various doping concentrations were obtained by annealing the nanomaterials at high temperature. The emission spectra, excitation spectra, and X-ray diffraction spectra were used in this study. It was found that the charge transfer band of Y2O3:Eu3+ red-shifted as particle size decreased, and the charge transfer band in the 5-nm particles obviously broadened toward the long wavelength. It was also found that the profile of excitation spectra corresponding to the 4f5d (4f8 → 4f75d1) transition changed a lot with the variation of the particle size. The dependence of the excitation spectra of Y2O3:Ln3+ on particle size was investigated.

Single phase of Ba3Y1-xEuxB3O9 (0.05 ≤ x≤ 0.35)samples was prepared by the solid state reaction. The crystal structure, the surface, the particle size and luminescence properties were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometer. The results showed that the obtained samples with the particle size from 0.3 to 1.5 um were hexagonal structure. Monitored by 592 nm emission, the excitation spectra of Ba3Y1-xEuxB3O9were dominated by the charge transfer band of O2-→Eu3+ peaking at about 259 nm until x= 0.15; the transition from 7F0 to 5L6 level of Eu3+ at about 395 nm was maximum after x> 0.15. The strongest emission peak due to the 5D0→7F1transition of Eu3+ was all located at about 592 nm in the emission spectra of Ba3Y1-xEuxB3O9, and the maximum emission was obtained at x= 0.15 and 0.3 under 254 and 395 nm excitation, respectively. The excitationprocess under the two excitation energies was analyzed. It indicated that only the centrosymmetric lattices could be excited under 254 nm excitation; both the centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric positions could be excited by 395 nm, accordingly, the ratio of the red emission (5D0→7F2) to the orange one (5D0→7F1) increased, leading to a better chromaticity of the phosphors.

The series of luminescent materials of Eu3 +, Tb3 + doped Li2SrSiO4 were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. The phase purity of the samples was measured by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The luminescent properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible excitation spectra and emission spectra The It is found that the strong absorption of Eu3 + doped Li2-xSr1-xEuxSiO4 is from the 250 ~ 290 nm charge transfer band of Eu3 + and the 7F0 → 5L6 absorption transition of 393 nm. The strongest emission of the emission spectra at 393 nm is 614 nm and 701 nm, respectively, from the 5D0 → 7F2 and 5D0 → 7F4 transitions of Eu3 +. Tb3 + doped sample Li2-xSr1-xTb xSiO4 excitation spectrum is mainly composed of Tb3 + ion fd transition and charge transfer band composed of broadband, the strongest absorption at 269 nm, the emission of the main emission of 5D4 → 7F5 transition (542 nm).

La3PO7:Eu3+ samples were prepared by combustion and annealing and characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the average size of the particles is about 80 nm. The red emission from the 5D0 → 7F2 transition of the Eu3+ ions under ultraviolet light excitation is much stronger than the orange emission from the 5D0 → 7F1 transition. The emission spectra, charge transfer band, laser selective excitation spectra, and time-resolved spectra indicate that symmetry of the local environment of Eu3+ lacks an inversion center and Eu3+ ions occupy at least two types of sites in the La3PO7 crystal. The superior color chromaticity compared to other phosphates and borates doped with Eu3+ means La3PO7:Eu3+ may have potential as a luminescent material.

The long afterglow luminescent materials Sr3Al2O6: Eu2+, Re3+ ( Re= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) were synthesized via solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction and fluorescence spectrophotometer were employed to characterize the phosphors. The excitation spectra were all well simulated by eight Gaussian curves, indicating that they originated from the 4f7 (8S7/2) – 4f65d (8HJ) transitions of Eu2+ ions. The excitation spectra intensity of Sr3Al2O6: Eu2+, Sm3+ is much stronger than the others, which indicates that there is a more efficient energy transfers from Sm3+ to Eu2+. The simulated results of the emission spectra showed that they generated from the Eu2+ ions in the Sr2+ sites of SrO6 and SrO7 polyhedral, which indicated that the Eu2+ ions were apt to occupy low-coordination crystallographic site. The proposed explanation for excitation spectra and emission spectra property were also discussed

Europium(III) and Terbium(III) complexes of type [Eu(L)Cl(H2O)2] and [Tb(L)OAc(H2O)2] (H2L = thiosemicarbazone ligands derived from substituted thiosemicarbazide and benzil/diacetyl) were synthesized. The ligands and synthesized complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR and 1H NMR and X-ray diffraction studies. Photo-physical properties such as excitation spectra, emission spectra and luminescence curves of complexes were investigated. The most intense peak of Eu3+ ion found at 618 nm attributed to 5D0 → 7F2 transition and peak of Tb3+ ion at 549 nm attributed to 5D4 →7F5 transition.

The [RE(NTA)(H2O)2]⋅(H2O) rare-earth complexes (RE3+: Eu, Gd, Tb and NTA: nitrilotriacetate) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. The complexes show high crystallinity and thermostability. The photoluminescence behavior was studied based on the excitation and emission spectra, and luminescence decay curves. The compounds exhibit red (Eu3+), green (Tb3+) and UV (Gd3+) monochromatic emissions under UV excitation. The NTA ligand acts as luminescence sensitizer in the ligand-to- RE3+ intramolecular energy transfer process, owing to the fact that the first excited triplet state (T1: 29 000 cm−1) is located above of the 5D0 (Eu3+) and 5D4 (Tb3+) emitting levels. The experimental intensity parameters Ωλ (λ: 2 and 4) for the Eu3+ NTA complex were calculated, and the results are discussed. The Gd3+-NTA complex exhibits a high-intensity emission band in the UV region (32 000 cm−1) assigned to the 6P7/2→8S7/2 intraconfigurational transition.

A series of 6 mol% Eu3+ doped Gd2MoO6 samples were prepared by using the sol–gel method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples confirmed their monoclinic structure after they were annealed at 1300 °C, and a scanning electron microscope image revealed closely packed particles. The excitation spectra showed that the intensity of the excitation band decreased and the charge transfer band shifted from 370 to 350 nm with decreasing sintering temperature. The emission spectra are dominated by the hypersensitive forced electron dipolar transition 5D0 → 7F2 at 612 nm. The as synthesized phosphor can be used as a red phosphor in white light emitting diodes.

Dielectric properties, piezoelectric properties and Curie temperature of the obtained luminescent materials were measured for electrical characterization. The results showed that all materials have both photoluminescent and piezoelectric properties and show high Curie temperature.

In this work, an examination of mining wastes of an albite deposit in south Spain was carried out using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size analysis, thermo-dilatometry and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, followed by the determination of the main ceramic properties. The albite content in two selected samples was high (65–40 wt. %), accompanied by quartz (25–40 wt. %) and other minor minerals identified by XRD, mainly kaolinite, in agreement with the high content of silica and alumina determined by XRF. The content of Na2O was in the range 5.44–3.09 wt. %, being associated with albite. The iron content was very low (<0.75 wt. %). The kaolinite content in the waste was estimated from ~8 to 32 wt. %. The particle size analysis indicated values of 11–31 wt. % of particles <63 µm. The ceramic properties of fired samples (1000–1350 °C) showed progressive shrinkage by the thermal effect, with water absorption and open porosity almost at zero at 1200–1250 °C. At 1200 °C, the bulk density reached a maximum value of 2.38 g/cm3. An abrupt change in the phase evolution by XRD was found from 1150 to 1200 °C, with the disappearance of albite by melting in accordance with the predictions of the phase diagram SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O and the system albite-quartz. These fired materials contained as main crystalline phases quartz and mullite. Quartz was present in the raw samples and mullite was formed by decomposition of kaolinite. The observation of mullite forming needle-shape crystals was revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The formation of fully densified and vitrified mullite materials by firing treatments was demonstrated.
