Abstract

A novel red emitting phosphor α-Gd2(MoO4)3:Eu3+ was developed for white light emitting diodes (LEDs). The phosphor was prepared by solid-state reaction. The effects of the flux content and the activator concentration on the crystal structure, morphology and luminescent properties were investigated by using XRD, SEM, and fluorescent spectra. These results showed that this phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet (UV) (395 nm) and blue (465 nm) light, matching the output wavelengths of ultraviolet or blue LED chips. The α-Gd2 (MoO4)3 phosphor may be a better candidate for solid state lighting application.
