Enhancement through sensitization of VUV-excited luminescence in red-emitting pentaborate phosphors

We studied the feasibility of using sensitization for the improvement of the VUV-to-visible conversion efficiency of red-emitting pentaborate phosphor. It is shown that Tb 3+ ions that exhibit a strong absorption throughout the 160-230 nm wavelength range facilitate enhancement of Eu3 emission in Tb...
