Summary: In this work, a series of Pr3+-doped Y3GaO6 long persistent luminescence (LPL) phosphors were developed, taking advantage of the synergy between the host lattice, emitters, and carrier traps. The phosphors exhibited visible LPL for 6 hours and strong thermoluminescence (TL) spectra even after being stored in darkness for 20 days. Additionally, photostimulated luminescence was observed under low-energy excitation. The proposed mechanism for LPL was supported by investigating the crystal structure and possible defects. The Pr3+-doped YGO LPL phosphors have potential applications in multi-color anticounterfeiting and long-term continuous detection of short-wavelength UV radiation.

Summary: This study investigated the photoluminescence properties of rare-earth free Zn(3-x)Bix(VO4)(2) phosphors synthesized by a solution combustion method. Results showed that Bi3+ doping in the host improved crystallinity and reduced microstrain, leading to enhanced emission performance. The doped Zn-3(VO4)(2) phosphor with Bi3+ ions can potentially serve as a greenish-white emission source for optical devices.

Summary: Combining rare-earth ions with halide perovskites can produce interesting optical properties in the visible and NIR regions. In this study, RE3+ ions (RE: Nd, Ho, Er, Tm) were successfully introduced into Cs4Cd1-wMnwBi2Cl12 quadruple perovskites through a hydrothermal method. The materials exhibited characteristic emission of RE3+ in the red and NIR regions via constructing a Mn2+ energy bridge. The energy transfer processes and mechanism were confirmed, and an evolution process from direct to indirect band gaps was verified.

Summary: In this paper, Gd3+-incorporated Ba3WO6:Mn4+ oxide phosphors were prepared and showed deep-red emission. The deep-red luminescence of Mn4+ was enhanced by optimizing the Gd3+ and Mn4+ doping concentration. The optimized phosphor with bright deep-red emission in the 650-750 nm range is a potential candidate for the plant cultivation lighting, as it is highly suited to the phytochrome absorption wavelength.

Summary: This study performed first-principles calculations on Sr3MgSi2O8 doped with Eu2+, Ca2+, and Ba2+. The results indicate that Eu2+ ions prefer to replace Sr2+ in the 8f site. Ca2+ and Ba2+ were introduced to generate complex cation environments in Sr3MgSi2O8, leading to changes in lattice size, band gap, and coordination environments around Eu2+. Ca2+ doping decreases the crystal structure and band gap, while Ba2+ doping increases them. Moreover, the bond length range between Eu2+ and O2- can be expanded through the doping of Ca2+ or Ba2+.
