Influence of Al3+ ions on the enhancement of the fluorescence in the CaMoO4:Sm3+ phosphor

• Ca0.99Mo1−yAlyO4:0.01Sm3+ phosphors were synthesized.
• The phosphors emit an intensive orange red light emission.
• Al3+ on the luminescent properties of phosphors was investigated.

A series of novel orange red emitting Ca1−xMoO4:xSm3+ (0
