PREPARATION AND SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF La4 (P2O7)3:Ce,Gd,Tb PHOSPHORS
Tb phosphors have been prepared by precipitation from aqueous solution and subsequent ignition.XRD measurements confirm that the products are pure phase La

the spectra of Ce and Gd overlap with each other
rendering certain interaction to occur between them and hence bringing about some increase of brightness of (La

.On the other hand
Ce effectively sensitizes Tb
enhancing the Tb emission considerably.However
the coexislance of Gd and Tb gives rise to competitive absorption and individual emission
rendering a slight decrease of the brightness of(La
