Lanthanide ions are very efficient activators. Due to the presence of shielded 4f shell, the energy levels can be predicted with relative ease. Interaction with the surrounding lattice is minimum and luminescence efficiency is high. For this reason, many important phosphors having various applications have been discovered which use lanthanide activators. For obtaining efficient phosphors, it is important to find a suitable host for lanthanide activators which can accommodate these ions without concentration quenching. The hosts must be transparent to the emitted light. Lanthanides, most commonly occur as trivalent. Thus, hosts constituted by trivalent metals can be suitable. Yttrium compounds have been extensively studied as hosts. Scandium is another trivalent metal. Compared to the yttrium compounds, Scandium compounds have been very scarcely studied as hosts. We are investigating Scandium compounds as luminescence hosts. Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of Sr9 Sc (PO4)7 : Eu3+ and Sr8MgSc(PO4)7:Eu3+ phosphor are described in this work. The phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction. Usually, these phosphors are reduced and results on Eu2+ photoluminescence are reported. However, we have recorded photoluminescence before reduction and thus new results on Eu3+ emission could be obtained.

Fluoride crystals, due to their low phonon energies, are attractive hosts of trivalent lanthanide ions for applications in upconverting phosphors, quantum information science, and solid-state laser refrigeration. In this article, we report the rapid, low-cost hydrothermal synthesis of potassium lutetium fluoride (KLF) microcrystals for applications in solid-state laser refrigeration. Four crystalline phases were synthesized, namely orthorhombic K<sub>2</sub>LuF<sub>5</sub> (Pnma), trigonal KLuF<sub>4</sub> (P3<sub>1</sub>21), orthorhombic KLu<sub>2</sub>F<sub>7</sub> (Pna2<sub>1</sub>), and cubic KLu<sub>3</sub>F<sub>10</sub> (Fm3m), with each phase exhibiting unique microcrystalline morphologies. Luminescence spectra and emission lifetimes of the four crystalline phases were characterized based on the point-group symmetry of trivalent cations. Laser refrigeration was measured by observing both the optomechanical eigenfrequencies of microcrystals on cantilevers in vacuum, and also the Brownian dynamics of optically trapped microcrystals in water. Among all four crystalline phases, the most significant cooling was observed for 10%Yb:KLuF<sub>4</sub> with cooling of 8.6 $\pm$ 2.1 K below room temperature. Reduced heating was observed with 10%Yb:K<sub>2</sub>LuF<sub>5</sub>

RbCaGd(PO4)2:Eu2+ was prepared by the Pechini-type sol–gel method. The crystal structure was determined in the first time. The dipole–dipole interaction plays a major role in the mechanism of concentration quenching of Eu2+ in this phosphor.

New indeno[1,2-c]pyran-3-ones bearing different substituents at the pyran moiety were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. In solution all compounds were found to be blue emitters and the trans isomers exhibited significantly higher fluorescence quantum yields (relative to 9,10-diphenylanthracene) as compared to the corresponding cis isomers. The solid-state fluorescence spectra revealed an important red shift of λmax due to intermolecular interactions in the lattice, along with an emission-band broadening, as compared to the solution fluorescence spectra.

A series of Sr6Ca4(PO4)6F2:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphors were synthesized by traditional solid state reaction. Through controlling the ratio of Eu2+ and Mn2+, emission colors can be tuned from blue to yellow, including white-light-emitting.
