“…Trivalent samarium as one of the rare-earth elements is frequently used as an effective red activator for phosphor hosts including phosphates, borates, silicates, vanadates, molybdates, etc. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Most of the phosphors were prepared via solidstate reactions. Among them, the Ba 3 Y 4 O 9 :Sm 3+ phosphor shows good thermal stability, and its luminescence intensity at 473 K is decreased by 25.75% of its initial intensity.…”
