Synthesis and luminescence of Tb3+ doped lithium borate (LiBO2)

► We report that terbium doped lithium borate phosphors were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction method for the first time. ► XRD analysis, RL and TSL techniques were used to investigate structural and luminescence properties of terbium doped lithium borate phosphors. ► The TSL kinetic parameters of synthesized terbium doped lithium borate phosphor have been calculated using PS and VHR methods.
