Continuous zircon-type tetragonal Y Bi0.95-xVO4： 0.05Dy^3＋ solid solution： synthesis,characterization, and optical properties

We synthesize continuous solid solutions with monophasic zircon-type structure of vanadates of formula YxBi0.95 VO4：0.05Dy^3＋ （x = 0-0.95） using a combined method of co-precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis. The X-ray diffractometer patterns confirm the formation of a solid solution of YBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Dy^3＋, and the results show that all the samples have monophasic zircon-type structure. The absorption spectra of the prepared phosphors show a blue-shift of the fundamental absorption band edge with increasing Y^3＋ content. An intense tunable characteristic emission of Dy^3＋ is observed with the increasing ratio of Y/Bi. Finally, the mechanism of luminescence of Dya＋ in the YBi0.95 VO4：0.05Dya＋ （x = 0-0.95） solid solution is analyzed and discussed.

We synthesize continuous solid solutions with monophasic zircon-type structure of vanadates of formula YxBi0.95-xVO4:0.05Dy3+(x = 0–0.95) using a combined method of co-precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis. The X-ray diffractometer patterns confirm the formation of a solid solution of YxBi0.95-xVO4:0.05Dy3+, and the results show that all the samples have monophasic zircon-type structure. The absorption spectra of the prepared phosphors show a blue-shift of the fundamental absorption band edge with increasing Y3+ content. An intense tunable characteristic emission of Dy3+ is observed with the increasing ratio of Y/Bi.

Preparation and characterization of nanosized GdxBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ solid solution as red phosphor

A complete solid solutions with monophasic zircon-type structure of vanadates of formula GdxBio.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ （x = 04）.95） are synthesized by combined method of co-precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis. Their microstructures and morphologies are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electronic microscope, and the results show that each of all the samples has a monophasic zircon-type structure. The absorption spectrum of the prepared phosphor shows a blue-shift of the fundamental absorption band edge with increasing the gadolinium content. Under UV-light and visible-light excitation, all the prepared phosphors show the typical luminescence properties of Eu3＋ in the zircon-type structure. The emission intensity of GdxBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ （x = 0.55） is strongest in all samples under UV-light and visible-light excitations. Finally, the mechanisms of luminescence of Eu3＋ in the GdxBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ （x = 0-0.95） solid solutions are analyzed and discussed.
