Abstract: | Rare‐earth borates are good candidates for optical applications. To date, however, the high‐pressure/high‐temperature technique has produced a large number of novel borates with optical properties that have rarely been investigated due to the severe problem of substantial defects. We targeted the high‐pressure polymorph of β‐GdB3O6 and synthesized three solid solutions of β‐Gd0.75−x Bi0.25Tbx B3O6 (0≤x ≤0.75), β‐Gd0.75−y Bi0.25Euy B3O6 (0≤y ≤0.75), and β‐Gd0.50−z Bi0.25Tb0.25Euz B3O6 (0≤z ≤0.05) by using typical solid‐state reactions at 820 °C. Here, the function of Bi3+ is to stabilize the high‐pressure phase by lowering the synthetic temperature and being the sensitizer to promote the green and red emissions of Tb3+ and Eu3+. The multiple energy transfer paths were investigated by using lifetime decay experiments and photoluminescent spectra, and both efficiency and mechanism were determined. Eventually, color‐tunable and white emissions were achieved by rational doping of Bi3+, Tb3+, and Eu3+ into β‐GdB3O6, that is, the CIE chromaticity coordinate for β‐Gd0.44Bi0.25Tb0.30Eu0.01B3O6 is (0.318, 0.365) with a correlated color temperature of 6101 K. |
