spectra excited by 528 nm
wavelength of ZnAl2−x−y Tbx Cry O4 samples with various
x and y, annealed at 1100 ◦ C. It can be seen from Figure 8a that at the high Cr3+ concentrations (y = 0.050,
0.100) the intensity of the lines at 667, 675, 686, 698,
708 and 717 nm considerably reduces. Meanwhile, some
new lines at 707, 732 739 and 746 nm appear. After references [5–7], at the high Cr3+ concentrations the Cr3+ Cr3+ pairs are expected to form, and the line at 707 nm
is originated from the nearest Cr3+ -Cr3+ pairs. By examining PLE spectrum, the lines at the wavelengths of 732,
739 and 746 nm are believed to be the phonon-sidebands
of the line at 707 nm (the PLE spectra not shown here).
Figure 8b shows the PL spectra of ZnAl2−x−y Tbx Cry O4 samples, annealed at 1100 ◦ C, with y = 0.005 and
various x, excited by the wavelength of 528 nm. As seen
from the figure, with increasing the Tb3+ ion concentration up to x = 0.050, 0.100, the shape of the spectra does
not change, but their intensity is decreased. Therefore by
selecting the appropriate mole fractions x and y, we can
obtain the materials strongly emitting in both blue-green
and red regions.

T.T. Loan et al.: Synthesis and optical properties of ZnAl2 O4 :Cr3+ ,Tb3+ powders
4 Conclusion
(a)
The ZnAl2 O4 spinel powders co-doped with Tb3+ and
Cr3+ ions have been successfully synthesized by a solgel technique. The samples undergone heat-treatment at
1100 ◦ C exhibited the best crystallinity. The PL spectra of the samples showed two emission regions: the first
(blue-green) one was related to the emission of Tb3+ ions
and the second (red) one was related to the emission of
