Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of β-NaYF4 Doped with Eu3+ and Tb3+
are successfully prepared by high temperature solvothermal method. The obtained samples are characterized by X-ray power diffraction(XRD)
field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM)
and photoluminescence(PL) spectra. Experiment results revealed that as-prepared NaYF

and NaYF

crystallized in hexagonal phase without cubic phase
and the size was about 80 nm×100 nm (side length×thickness). When the doping concentration of Eu
3+
and Tb
3+
are various
the lattice structure of samples do not change
indicating that the Eu
3+
and Tb
3+
ions are completely dissolved in the NaYF

host lattice by substitution for the Y

. The emission from

(618 nm) of Eu

ions was observed under excitation of 394 nm light from Xe lamp. The visible light intensity changes with the doping ions of Eu
3+
concentration and the influence to crystal structure of Tb
3+
ions concentration have been investigated. These results show that the doping ions of Tb
3+
change the coordination environment of Eu
3+
resulting to stronger red emissions
and electric dipole transition occupied the main contribution.
