In order to develop a new warm-color emission phosphor under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation, trivalent samarium ion (Sm3+) doped GdAl3(BO3)4was prepared by a solid state reaction technique at high temperature. The VUV excitation and emission spectra of as-synthesized sample GdAl3(BO3)4:Sm3+were determined in the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facilities (BSRF). Compared with the emission of GdAl3(BO3)4:Eu3+, GdAl3(BO3)4:Sm3+shows an orange-red emission under Xe 172 nm VUV excitation, which indicates that Sm3+ion can be a possible activator to obtain warm color emission in the field of lighting. Furthermore, for improving the emission of Sm3+doped in GdAl3(BO3)4, the energy transfer process from Gd3+in the host to the activator Sm3+was investigated through the analysis of spectroscopic characteristics and luminescence decay curves of GdAl3(BO3)4:Sm3+. The results reveal that there exists energy transfer from Gd3+to Sm3+, but the energy transfer from Sm3+to Gd3+is inefficient.
