Abstract: A color-tunable phosphor based on Tb3+ doped GdNbO4 were synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), diffused reflectance spectra, photoluminescence spectra and decay curves were utilized to characterize the as-prepared phosphors. The GdNbO4 host was proved to be a self-activated phosphor with broad absorption range from 200 to 325 nm. When Tb3+ ions were doped into the host lattice, the energy transfer from host to Tb3+ was identified. And the broad absorption in the UV region was changed and enhanced. Furthermore, the electric dipole-dipole interaction is the major mechanism for the concentration quenching.

Key words: GdNbO4, photoluminescence, energy transfer
