In this work, a method was developed to determine the concentration of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions in a thin-film sample of SiO2, co-doped with ZnO-nanocrystals (ZnO-nc), to produce a sample of any desired colour in the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) colour space. Using this method, a white light emitting sample was fabricated. The thin-film sample combines red, green and blue emissions from the Eu3+ ions, Tb3+ ions and ZnO-nc, respectively, to create white light or light of any desired colour. The emissions at 614 nm and 545 nm from Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions, respectively, is due to the energy transfer from the excited ZnO-nc to the rare-earth (RE) ions. In this way, only a single excitation wavelength is needed to excite the ZnO-nc, Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions in the sample to produce emission of a desired colour from the sample. We developed an empirical 4th-degree polynomial equation to determine the concentrations of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions to produce light of any desired colour in the CIE colour space. Based on the above empirical equation, the concentration of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions for a white light emitting sample was found to be 0.012 and 0.024 molar fractions, respectively. The white light emission from the sample was confirmed by fabricating the sample using the low-cost sol–gel process. The stimulated emission spectra and the experimental emission spectra of the white light sample fit very well. The results presented in this work are important to develop energy efficient solid state lighting devices.

The BaZr[Formula: see text]Si2O[Formula: see text]: Eu[Formula: see text]/Eu[Formula: see text] phosphors were prepared with different concentrations of Eu2O3 by a self-reduction method under air condition. The X-ray diffraction and the photoluminescence properties of the prepared samples were analyzed. The emission spectra consisting of a broadband emission from the 4f[Formula: see text]5d transitions of Eu[Formula: see text] and sharp emissions from 5D0-7F[Formula: see text] (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions of Eu[Formula: see text] are observed. The different luminescent colors can be obtained and modulated by doping different concentrations of Eu2O3 and the white light emission can be observed as the concentration of europium is 6%.
