摘要

A series of trivalent samarium ion (Sm3+)-doped tetrahedral scheelite-structured AgGd(MoO4)2 (x at% Sm3+:AgGd(MoO4)2, x = 1–12) phosphors were synthesized using the high-temperature solid-state method. The structural characterization of these phosphors was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), XRD Rietveld refinement, a scanning electron microscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations were employed to unveil the electronic structure (including the band structure and density of states). Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was employed to scrutinize the luminescent properties and the thermal stability of the emission was also evaluated. The most prominent emission peak was observed at 646 nm upon excitation at 406 nm. The quenching mechanism of Sm3+ ions within the AgGd(MoO4)2 host lattice was identified as a dipole–dipole interaction, with the quenching concentration of 2 at%. These findings collectively highlight the significant potential of Sm3+:AgGd(MoO4)2 orange-reddish phosphors for application in white light-emitting diodes.
