摘      要：The optical and structural properties of Tb^(3+)-doped yttrium and gadolinium oxyorthosilicate(Y_(2)SiO_(5) and Gd_(2)SiO_(5)) phosphors were *** samples were synthesized via sol-gel combustion method using organic *** phase purity and structural properties of the samples were determined via combined approach of powder X-ray diffraction,Fourier transformation infrared(FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).X-ray measurements revel monoclinic crystal lattice with P_(21/c) symmetry for both M_(2)SiO_(5)(pure host) and M_(2)SiO_(5):Tb^(3+)(doped) silicates,irrespective of the nature of metal(Y or Gd),presence or absence of Tb^(3+)in lattice and change in calcination temperature up to 1050℃.FTIR analysis was applied to confirm the bonding of prepared *** appearance of bands corresponding to SiO_(4) tetrahedra(880-1020 cm^(-1)) suggest the layered structure and support the diffraction *** micrographs confirm the synthesis of spherical nanoparticles with filled morphology,narrow size distribution and slightly agglomerated crystallites of the *** elemental composition of prepared materials was determined using energy dispersive X-ray *** spectra show peaks only for elements assimilated within the host *** photoluminescence(PL) emission spectra of Tb^(3+)-doped samples show ^(5)D_(4)→^(7)F_(J)(J=3-6) transitions under 254 *** dominant peak at 544 nm for ^(5)D_(4)→^(7)F_(5) transition is responsible for the emission of green light on ultraviolet-visible excitation in both the Tb^(3+)-doped host *** to advantageous properties like intense PL and high crystallinity,these nanophosphors could possess potential applications in the mercury free lighting sources and optoelectronic devices.
