Structural and luminescence properties of europium oxide and dysprosium oxide codoped strontium borophosphate ceramics

A series of Eu3+ and Dy3+ co-doped strontium borophosphate ceramics were synthesized using solid-state reaction method at 1000 oC for 4 hours. The influence of strontium oxide composition on structural features of the borophosphate ceramics were investigated by using FT-IR spectroscopy. The addition...
