Yttrium phosphates codoped (Ce3+,Ln3+) and (Pr3+,Ln3+) with Ln = Nd, Er, Ho, Dy were investigated by thermally stimulated luminescence. Similar to Ce3+, Pr3+ was found able to trap holes up to high temperatures while being the radiative recombination center, whereas the Ln3+ codopant played the role of the electron trap. Trapping depths for all studied Ln3+ (Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Er, Ho, Dy) were found to follow the Ln2+ energy levels prediction. Low-temperature electron trapping at Ce3+ and Pr3+ was, therefore, evidenced for the first time at 0.20−0.27 and 0.58 eV, respectively. The 195 K peak was attributed to self-trapped charges in YPO4, whereas the 480 K peak was uniquely associated with praseodymium doping. Pr3+ as the luminescent center and Nd3+/Er3+/Ho3+/Dy3+ as the codopant were selected to design a red persistent luminescence phosphor. The best persistent luminescence was obtained as predicted by the model for Ho3+ codoping, though it was shown to originate from both thermally assisted detrapping fro...
