Abstract
Eu3+ activated LiGd3(MoO4)5 phosphors were synthesized proficiently by simple sol gel method. Structural, morphological and luminescence characteristics of the phosphors were investigated in detail. The photo physical parameters and quantum efficiency values are studied by using Judd–Ofelt concepts. All the outcomes imply that LiGd3(MoO4)5:0.07Eu3+ phosphor may be a meritful candidate as red emitting component for white light emitting diodes applications.
