X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques are used to identify their structures and morphologies. Luminescence characteristics are measured and spectroscopic data confirm that Y2SiO5:Ce3+, Tb3+ phosphors can be effectively excited upon UV excitation light and X-ray irradiation, resulting in intense blue and green emissions, respectively. This energy transfer takes place by means of a non-radiative process inside Ce3+-Tb3+ clusters formed in the host matrix. Tb3+ doped Y2SiO5 yields both blue emission D-5(3) -> F-7(j) (j = 3,4,5,6) and green emission D-5(4) -> F-7(J) (J = 3,4,5,6) of Tb3+. Y(3)Al(5-x)GaxO(12):Ce3+ phosphors exhibit a broad blue emission band originating from allowed 5d-4f transition of the Ce3+ ions under different excitation sources but the broad emission band shifts with increasing of Ga3+ content. This work presents a quantitative understanding of host material's on dopant's luminescence properties and thereby provides an optimization guideline, which is extremely demanding for the development of new luminescent materials.
