Abstract
NaLa1-x(MoO4)2:Eu3+/Yb3+ phosphors with doping concentrations of Eu3+ and Yb3+ (x = Eu3+ + Yb3+, Eu3+ = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and Yb3+ = 0.2, 0.45) were successfully synthesized via the microwave-modified sol-gel route and the upconversion and spectroscopic properties were investigated. Well-crystallized particles showed a fine and homogeneous morphology with particle sizes of 5-10 μm. Under excitation at 980 nm, NaLa0.5(MoO4)2:Er0.05Yb0.45 particles exhibited a strong 525 nm emission band and a weak 550 nm emission band in the blue region and a very weak 655 nm emission band in the red region. The Raman spectra of NaLa0.8(MoO4)2:Eu0.2, NaLa0.7(MoO4)2:Eu0.1Yb0.2 and NaLa0.5(MoO4)2:Eu0.05Yb0.45 particles indicated the domination of strong peaks at higher frequencies (762, 890, 1358 and 1430 cm-1) and weak peaks at lower frequencies (323, 388 and 450 cm-1).
