The photoluminescence property results reveal that the red emission intensity of Eu^3+ is strongly dependent on the Sm^3+ concentration. Only the Eu^3+ luminescence is detected in the Eu^3+-Sm^3+ co-doped CaYA1307 phosphor with 393 nm excitation. However, under the characteristic excitation (402 nm) of Sm^3+, not only the Sm^3+ emission but also the Eu^3+ emission are observed. A possible mechanism of the energy transfer between Sm^3+ and Eu3+ is investigated in detail.展开更多
