  • Abstract
    The optical properties of rare earth ions-activated barium orthophosphate phosphors, Ba3(PO4)2:RE (RE=Ce3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Eu2+, and Tb3+), were investigated in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)-Vis range. A band–band transition of PO43− in Ba3(PO4)2 is observed in the region of 150–170 nm. The partial reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ was observed and confirmed by luminescent spectra under the VUV–UV excitation. It is proposed that the electronegative defects that formed by aliovalent substitution of Eu3+ on the Ba2+ site in the host are responsible for the reduction process.
