Abstract

Europium-doped nanocrystals of lithium zinc vanadium oxide (LiZnVO4) prepared via the sol–gel method are characterized. The X-ray power diffraction results reveal that a pure phase is obtained at 500 °C. The photoluminescence spectra of LiZnVO4:xEu (x = 7 mol%) exhibit emission peaks at 526, 597 and 620 nm. The emission shifts from bluish-green to yellow when the doping concentration is increased from 0 to 7 mol%, due to the emission peak at 620 nm from the 5D0 → 7F2 transition, which originated from charge transfer transitions from VO4 3− to Eu3+ ions.
