Abstract
Trivalent europium-ion-doped Y2SiO5 phosphors are synthesized by using the reverse micelle and the sol-gel processes. The crystallinity, morphology, and chemical states of the ions are characterized, and the photophysical properties are studied by taking absorption, excitation, and emission spectra for various concentrations of europium. Y2SiO5:Eu3+ is a red-emitting phosphor, has a higher efficiency for operation under near UV excitation, and may be a promising candidate for photonic applications.
