The luminescence materials were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XPD), thermal analysis (TG), infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV excited photoluminescence. The prepared powder phosphors are single-phase scheelite structure with porous morphology and particle sizes around 11 nm. The materials display white color from cool to the warm white, under UV excitation, as a result of the intraconfigurational 4f transitions from trivalent rare earth ions. The non-radiative energy transfer processes from the O/Wand O/Eu LMCT as well as the 4f8/4f75d1 states to the intraconfigurational 4f excited levels of rare earth ions and simultaneous emissions from the 4F9/2 (Dy3þ)/5D4 (Tb3þ)/5D1,5D0 (Eu3þ) emitter levels are reported. Furthermore, CIE parameters and the color correlated temperature (CCT) are discussed in order to characterize the color emission. Based on the results, these luminescence materials may be potential candidates for white light emitting diodes and solid-state lighting.820-827openAccessrare earthsalkaline earth metalslight sourcesemissionphoton emissioncharged particlesemission spectradoped materialsphotoluminescenceArtigo de periódico69610.1016/j.jallcom.2016.11.378https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7028-087880.25
