Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop microwave synthesis of luminescent yttrium oxide powders doped with ytterbium and erbium ions (Y₂O₃:Yb³⁺_, Er³⁺) in the process of homogeneous precipitation from a reaction mixture of yttrium, ytterbium and erbium chlorides. The characteristics of the obtained powders were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning and passing electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy and photoluminescence under IR excitation. From luminescence spectra of Y₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ samples obtained by excitation with an IR laser at a wavelength of 975 nm, it can be concluded that when the calcination temperature of the sample’s changes, the radiation color of powders changes from green to red, which can be used to produce phosphors of different colors.
