Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

We have investigated subsolidus phase equilibria in the Li2MoO4–BaMoO4–Y2(MoO4)3 system and constructed its phase compatibility diagram. A ternary molybdate with the composition Li3Ba2Y3(MoO4)8 and a monoclinic scheelite-like structure (sp. gr. C2/c) has been identified on the BaMoO4–LiY(MoO4)3 join. Doping Li3Ba2Y3(MoO4)8 with Er3+ ions, we obtained a Li3Ba2Y2.85Er0.15(MoO4)8 upconversion phosphor possessing efficient anti-Stokes luminescence in the range 530–850 nm under IR excitation (λex = 977 nm). The synthesized phosphor has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and IR spectroscopy.
