Abstract
Abstract: (Lu0.95Tb0.05)3(Al0.80Ga0.20)5O12 (LuAGG:Tb) phosphor is synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction, and a thin layer of niobium-doped TiO2 (NTO) is deposited on the phosphor particles by coprecipitation-assisted solvothermal synthesis. The crystal structure, micromorphology, chemical bonding, and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of both the uncoated and NTO-coated phosphors are determined. The phosphor powders possess a single phase, and the average diameter of the particles is about 3 μm. NTO nanoparticles with the anatase crystal structure are connected to the phosphor particles electrostatically. Both types of phosphors exhibit the characteristic emission spectrum of Tb3+ under electron excitation. The CL intensity decreases, whereas the resistance to luminance saturation and degradation increases with the coating. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
