Abstract
In this work, two Tb3+ activated green phosphors: Y2O3:Tb3+ and YBO3:Tb3+ were prepared by hydrothermal method. Photoluminescence properties of both phosphors were studied in details. Both phosphors exhibit similar luminescent characteristics symbolized by the dominant green emission at 545 nm. Concentration quenching occurs at the Tb3+ concentration of 1.60 atomic% and 2.57 atomic% for Y2O3:Tb3+ and YBO3:Tb3+, respectively. Luminescence decay properties were characterized to better understand the mechanism of concentration quenching. Based on the calculation, the concentration quenching in both phosphors was caused by the dipole–dipole interaction between Tb3+ ions.
