The Sm{sup 3+}-doped CaWO{sub 4} nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Sm{sup 3+}-doped CaWO{sub 4} nanoparticles doped with different Sm{sup 3+} concentrations under 405 nm excitation have been investigated. The PL spectra showed four strong emission peaks at 460, 571, 609, and 653 nm. The first emission peak at 460 nm could be due to a structural defect of the lattice, an oxygen-deficient WO{sub 3} complex. The other three emissions at 571, 609, and 653 nm were due to the f-f forbidden transitions of the 4f electrons of Sm{sup 3+}, corresponding to {sup 4}G{sub 5/2}->{sup 6}H{sub 5/2} (571 nm), {sup 6}H{sub 7/2} (609 nm), and {sup 6}H{sub 9/2} (653 nm), respectively. In addition, the optimum Sm{sup 3+} concentration in CaWO{sub 4} nanoparticles for optical emission was determined to be 1.0%. The Sm{sup 3+4}G{sub 5/2}->{sup 6}H{sub 7/2} (609 nm) emission intensity of Sm{sup 3+}-doped CaWO{sub 4} nanoparticles significantly increased with the increase of Sm{sup 3+} concentration, and showed a maximum when Sm{sup 3+} doping content was 1.0%. If Sm{sup 3+} concentration continued to increase, namely more than 1.0%, the Sm{sup 3+4}G{sub 5/2}->{sup 6}H{sub 7/2} emission intensity would decrease. The present materials might be a promising phosphor for white-light LED applications.
