Abstract

GdVO4: 5 mol% Ln3+ (Ln = Sm, Dy, Er) sub-micrometer phosphors have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal technology and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and FT-IR spectroscopy. These phosphors present fusiform-like polyhedron microcrystals with tetragonal zircon structure and average particle size of about 300 nm. The luminescent properties of the three lanthanide ions activated GdVO4 submicrometer phosphors are studied, which show the characteristic multicolor luminescence of Sm3+ (orange), Dy3+ (light yellow) and Er3+ (green) ions in visible region.
