“…Double molybdate crystals with the general formula ARE(MoO 4 ) 2 (A ¼ Li + , Na + , K + , Cs + ; RE ¼ trivalent RE ions) have been regarded as promising materials, because double molybdates structure framework is composed of tetrahedral (MoO 4 ) 2À , the alkaline ions and rare-earth ions are distributed over the cation sites, the different cations with different radii in the host compound would arouse some change in the sublattice structure around the luminescent center ions and then result in different photoluminescent properties, which show high physical and chemical stability, strong water persistence. 32,33 RE-doped ARE(MoO 4 ) 2 materials have been widely studied as attractive laser host materials due to their excellent chemical durability in air atmosphere, large admittance, and the large absorption and emission cross-sections of rare earth ions in their lattices. 34 Moreover, the RE ions doped double molybdate phosphors have high brightness levels, long lifetimes, and the preparation method is easy and low-lost.…”
