Abstract

Sb³⁺-doped YBO₃ crystals were prepared through a low-temperature hydrothermal method and a high-temperature solid-state technique, respectively. The effects of preparation methods on the morphologies and luminescent properties of YBO₃ phosphors were investigated. The YBO₃ crystals from the hydrothermal system look like flowers, whereas those from the solid-state process look like some agglomerates of little spheres. The Sb³⁺-doped YBO₃ powders prepared via both methods showed the blue emission with the peak at around 452 nm, which corresponds to the ³P₁→¹S₀ transition of Sb³⁺ ions. However, the emission intensity of the Sb³⁺-doped YBO₃ from the hydrothermal system is about 3.5 times as much as that from the solid-state process. The (Sb³⁺,Eu³⁺) co-doped YBO₃ crystals were also prepared through the two methods. The results showed that the emission intensity of Sb³⁺ ions in (Sb³⁺, Eu³⁺) co-doped YBO₃ synthesized by the hydrothermal method is stronger than that by the solid-state process.
