YVO4:Dy3+, Bi3+phosphors were prepared successfully by co-precipitation method using ethylene glycol as a capping agent as well as reaction medium at a relatively low temperature of 150 °C. XRD patterns of all samples are well crystallized to a pure tetragonal phase of YVO4. The unit cell volume increases linearly with the Bi3+ion concentrations suggesting the quantitative incorporation of Bi3+ions in lattice sites of Y3+in YVO4matrix. On introduction of Bi3+ions, the VO43−excitation band shifts to longer wavelengths. Energy transfer from V5+–Bi3+CT state to Dy3+was observed, giving rise to the characteristic visible emissions from Dy3+. The luminous intensity of the electric dipole transition as well as magnetic dipole transitions of Dy3+are enhanced significantly on co-doping of Bi3+ions. The optimum concentration of Dy3+for highest luminescence is found to be 1 at.% Bi3+and the luminescence intensity increases on annealing samples at 500 °C. Furthermore, the emission colors of YVO4:5Dy3+can be tuned from greenish blue to near white by changing the excitation wavelength and then to yellowish white on co-doping Bi3+ions, making the phosphors a great potential for applications in fluorescent lamps and field emission displays (FEDs).
