Eu3+-doped (Y,Gd)NbO4 phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction for possible application in cold cathode fluorescent lamps.A broad absorption band with peak maximum at 272 nm was observed which was due to the charge transfer between Eu3+ ions and neighboring oxygen anions.A deep red emission at the peak wavelength of 612 nm was observed which could be attributed to the 5D0→7F2 transition in Eu3+ ions.The highest luminance for Y1x-yGdyNbO4:Eux3+ under 254 nm excitation was achieved at Eu3+ concentration of 18 mol.％(x=0.18) and Gd3+ concentration of 8.2 mol.％ (v=0.082).The luminance of Y0.738Gd0.082NbO4:Eu3+0.18 was higher than that of a typical commercial phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ and the CIE chromaticity coordinate was (0.6490,0.3506),which was deeper than that of Y2O3:Eu3+.The particle size of the synthesized phosphors was controlled by the NaCl flux and particle size as high as 8μm with uniform size distribution of particles was obtained.
