Abstract

We report, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the luminescent properties of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ doped Zn₂SiO₄ phosphors prepared by a sol-gel process. The phosphors have shown prominent luminescence in green and red, respectively, due to the electronic transitions of ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ (Eu³⁺) and ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ (Tb³⁺). Structural characterization of these luminescent materials was carried out with XRD and TEM. Luminescence spectra were analyzed by measuring the excitation, photoluminescence spectra and lifetimes of the emission transitions of Eu³⁺ (⁵D₀→⁷F_J, J = 1-5) and Tb³⁺ (⁵D₄→⁷F_J, J = 1-6). Our experimental results have shown that these phosphors have comparable luminescence properties as those currently used in TVs and CRTs.
