Abstract: Pure phase LaP3O9:Ce, Tb phosphors have been prepared by precipitation from solution followed by subsequent igniting. They are of cyclic structure and belong to the orthorhombic crystal system with space group C2221. The spectra of LaP3O9:Ce, LaP3O9:Tb and LaP3O9:Ce,Tb have been measured. It was observed that Ce3+ can effectively transfer its energy to Tb3+, greatly enhancing the emission of Tb3+. From the results obtained it can be argued that LaP3O9:Ce,Tb might be a new green-emitting phosphor of high efficientcy.
