The luminescence of NaxEu3+(2−x)/3MoO4 scheelites depends on the number of Eu-clusters occurring in their incommensurately modulated structure

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Gervais Chapuis, Alla Arakcheeva, Philip Pattison, Dmitry Logvinovich, Svetlana Eliseeva

Scheelite related compounds with general formula Mn(XO4)m are of interest owing to their optical properties, stability and relatively simple preparation. Eu3+-containing scheelites are considered as red emitting phosphors and the main factors affecting the ...
