Tunable luminescence and energy transfer properties of GdPO4:Tb3+, Eu3+ nanocrystals for warm-white LEDs

This work investigates a facile hydrothermal method for the synthesis of well-crystallized GdPO4 phosphors, and studies the solid state phase transformation mechanism, luminescence and energy transfer properties of Tb3+/Eu3+ in the GdPO4 host in detail.159
