Abstract
Terbium doped yttrium oxide was prepared with the microwave hydrothermal method. The Y2O3:Tb nanomaterial crystallized as needle-like grains. Bright luminescence in the green region was observed. Significant luminescence intensity increase was obtained after thermal treatment. Reduction of terbium ions was observed after heating in the air atmosphere. Tb4+ ions were found to be stabilized by crystal impurities. Hydroxyl species were found to have impact on vacancies elimination. The terbium ions were used as optical and magnetic indicator of the material properties.
