High-temperature high-pressure hydrothermal synthesis of Dy³⁺-doped YNbO₄ single crystal and its luminescence properties

Abstract

Single crystal Dy³⁺ doped YNbO₄ phosphors were prepared via a high-temperature high-pressure hydrothermal procedure. Under excitation at 270 nm, the Dy³⁺-doped YNbO₄ phosphor shows bright white emission, which is composed of two strong bands at 492 and 576 nm corresponding to the characteristic ⁴ F _9/2→⁶ H _15/2 and ⁴ F _9/2→⁶ H _13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺, respectively. The dominant band was observed at 352 nm, which corresponds to the ⁶ H _15/2→⁶ P _7/2 transition of Dy³⁺. Nearly white light was achieved at λ _ex 270, 310 and 388 nm and the CIE(International Commission on Illumination) values were (0.3135, 0.3421), (0.3088, 0.3380) and (0.3146, 0.3296), respectively.
