“…Compounds with apatite structure have been widely used as host lattices in recent years, such as Sr 10 (PO 4 ) 6 O:Eu 2 þ [9], and Ca 8 Gd 2 (PO 4 ) 6 O 2 :Eu 2 þ ,Eu 3 þ [10], Ca 10 (SiO 4 ) 3 (SO 4 ) 3 F 2 :Eu 2 þ [11], Ca 2 Gd 8 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 :Eu 3 þ [12]. Fluoride-containing apatite structure compounds doped with rare-earth ions have great potential application due to their adjustable luminescence properties caused by the introduce of fluoride ions in the host lattice, which has been widely investigated, such as Ca 9 Mg(PO 4 ) 6 F 2 :Eu 2 þ , Mn 2 þ [13], Ba 10 F 2 (PO 4 ) 6 :Dy 3 þ [14], La 6 Ba 4 (SiO 4 ) 6 F 2 :Ce 3 þ , Tb 3 þ [15].…”
