Rare-earth (Eu 3+, Tb 3+) ion co-doped YBO 3 phosphors with a morphology of uniform flower-like assembly are fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method without the use of surfactant, organic ligands, or further sintering treatment. Photoluminescence (PL) studies have demonstrated that under the excitation of 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) light, YBO 3:Tb 3+, Eu 3+ emits a white light, including three emissions: a blue band attributed to self-trapped excitons (STEs), a green band due to the Tb 3+ transition of 5D 4– 7F j ( j = 6, 5, 4, and 3), and a red band due to the Eu 3+ transition of 5D 0– 7F j ( j = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Energy transfers from host YBO 3 to Tb 3+, and Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ to Eu 3+, as well as tunable emission by varying the relative doping ratios are demonstrated. The combination of blue emission from STEs with green and red emissions from activators provides a novel and efficient technique to make white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).
