title: Spectral tuning of the n-UV convertible oxynitride phosphor: orange color emitting realization via an energy transfer mechanism.
abstract: Near-UV convertible Eu(3+)-activated orange oxynitride phosphors have been obtained via a Ce(3+)→ Tb(3+)→ Eu(3+) energy transfer mechanism. The Tb(3+) ions play the role of an energy transfer bridge to connect the Ce(3+) and Eu(3+) ion pairs, and an optimal concentration of the Tb(3+) ion is necessary for maximum intensity of the Eu(3+) ion emission.
