Glass-ceramics phosphors were obtained by the introduction of the crystalline phase NaMg3Sc (MoO4)5:Eu3+,Tb3+ in the glass composition 8SiO2-20B2O3-5Lu2O3-31Bi2O3-36ZnO. The properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescent excitation spectra (PLE). The XRD patterns were indicated NaMg3Sc (MoO4)5:Eu3+,Tb3+ crystallize well with the novel structure type and were assigned to the triclinic phase (space group PĪ, Z = 6). Glass-ceramic phosphors are well-known and promising as solid electrolytes, laser, luminescent and other inorganic materials. Luminescent properties of the phosphors are performed at room temperature. The excitation spectra of Eu-doped phosphor present strong absorption at 300 nm and the sharp peaks in the 350-500 nm range. Under the 394 nm excitation, intense red emission peak at 616 nm corresponding to 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ is observed in the emission spectrum. The luminescence property indicates that the local symmetry of Eu3+ ion has no inversion center. The excitation spectra of Tb-doped phosphor by monitoring wavelength at 546 nm shows the intense broad band from 260 to 420 nm and the line at 234 nm, which is mainly attributed to charge-transfer band transition in MoO42- group, indicating the existence of energy transfer from MoO42- to Tb3+ in the Tb3+:glass-ceramic. The measured emission spectrum of Tb-doped phosphor has intense green emission at 546 nm corresponding to 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+, with λex=368 nm. The as-prepared phosphors may find potential applications in the field such as color displays, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and optoelectronic devices.
