Luminescent materials composed of Sr{sub 2.5-3x/2}Ba{sub 0.5}Sm{sub x}Al{sub 1-y}In{sub y}O{sub 4}F (0.001{<=}x, y{<=}0.1) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. After the replacement of Sr{sup 2+} and Al{sup 3+} ions by Sm{sup 3+} and In{sup 3+} ions in Sr{sub 2.5}Ba{sub 0.5}AlO{sub 4}F host structure, a novel charge-transfer band centered around 304 nm shifted from 240 nm is monitored; moreover, sharp and well-resolved emission peaks in the {sup 4}G{sub 5/2}{yields}{sup 6}H{sub J} transitions of the Sm{sup 3+} activator are observed. The diverse excitation and emission photoluminescence spectra of Sr{sub 2.5-3x/2}Ba{sub 0.5}Sm{sub x}Al{sub 1-y}In{sub y}O{sub 4}-{alpha}F1-{delta} (0.001{<=}x, y{<=}0.1) phosphors originated by the charge-transfer of the host to the Sm{sup 3+} activator, the f-f transitions in the Sm{sup 3+} ions, and the defect-induced self-activation are also introduced. - Graphical abstract: After the replacement of Sr{sup 2+} and Al{sup 3+} ions by Sm{sup 3+} and In{sup 3+} ions in Sr{sub 2.5}Ba{sub 0.5}AlO{sub 4}F host structure, a novel charge-transfer band centered around 304 nm shifted from 240 nm is monitored; moreover, sharp and well-resolved emission peaks in the {sup 4}G{sub 5/2}{yields}{sup 6}H{sub J} transitions of the Sm{sup 3+} activator are observed (Figure, Left). The diverse excitation and emission photoluminescence spectra of Sr{sub 2.5-3x/2}Ba{sub 0.5}Sm{sub x}Al{sub 1-y}In{sub y}O{sub 4}-{alpha}F1-{delta} (0.001{<=}x, y{<=}0.1) phosphors originated by the charge-transfer of the host to the Sm{sup 3+} activator, the f-f transitions in the Sm{sup 3+} ions, and the defect-induced self-activation are also introduced. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Strong and well-resolved emitting peaks are monitored in Sm{sup 3+}-doped oxyfluoride phosphors. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Diverse excitation and emission spectra of the oxyfluoride phosphors originated from Sm{sup 3+} activator and the defect-induced self-activation were clearly monitored. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Oxyfluoride phosphors could be quite effective to prepare white-emitting light for (near)-UV LED applications.
