title: Utilizing Tb3+ as an energy transfer bridge to connect Eu(2+)-Sm3+ luminescent centers: realization of efficient Sm3+ red emission under near-UV excitation.
abstract: The Eu(2+) → Tb(3+) → Sm(3+) energy transfer scheme has been proposed to realize the sensitization of Sm(3+) ion emission by Eu(2+) ions. Following this energy transfer model, near-UV convertible Sm(3+)-activated orange phosphors have been obtained in Sr3Y(PO4)3:Eu(2+), Tb(3+), Sm(3+) powders.
