The polycrystalline sample was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction. The TL glow curve of NaSr4（BO3）3：Ce3＋ phosphor was composed of only one peak. TL kinetic parameters of NaSr4（BO3）3：Ce3＋ were deduced by the peak shape method, the activation energy （E） was 0.590 eV and the frequency factor was 1.008×10^6S^-1. TL dose response was linear in the range of measurement. The 3-dimensional （3D） TL emission spectrum was also recorded, the emission spectrum consisted of two bands located at 441 and 479 nm respectively, corresponding to the characteristic 4f^05d^1→2F（5/2,7/2） transitions of the Ce3＋ ion. The fading behavior of the NaSr4（BO3）3：Ce3＋ phosphor over a period of 15 d was also studied.展开更多

X-ray diffraction analysis indi-cated that all the samples were single phased. The luminescence property was investigated in detail by diffuse-reflectance spectra and photoluminescence spectra measurement. Both NaSr2（NbO3）5：Sm3＋and NaSr2（NbO3）5：Pr3＋phosphors showed strong absorption in near ultraviolet region, which was suitable for application in LEDs. When excited by UV light, they both emitted bright red emission with CIE chromaticity coordinates （0.603, 0.397） and （0.669, 0.330）, respectively. The optimal doping concentration of Sm3＋doped NaSr2（NbO3）5 was measured to be 0.04 and that for Pr3＋doped NaSr2（NbO3）5 was 0.01. The integral emission intensity was also measured and compared with the commercial red phosphor Y2O3：Eu3＋. The results indicated that NaSr2（NbO3）5：RE3＋（RE=Sm, Pr） have potential to serve as a red phosphor for UV pumped white LEDs.展开更多
