Highlights: ► Lowest spin-allowed and spin-forbidden f–d transitions locate at 250 and 280 nm. ► Cross relaxation shortens lifetime of {sup 5}D{sub 3} level, while that of {sup 5}D{sub 4} are unaffected. ► Cross-relaxation can explain concentration quenching of the {sup 5}D{sub 3} emission. ► Dipole–quadrupole interaction is responsible for the non-radiative relaxation. ► Li{sub 4}SrCa(SiO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Tb{sup 3+} is thermally stable and color tunable phosphor. -- Abstract: Tb{sup 3+} ions activated Li{sub 4}SrCa(SiO{sub 4}){sub 2} phosphors were synthesized using a solid state reaction method. The phase impurity was checked by XRD. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectrum, emission spectra at room and high temperature, decay curves of samples with different Tb{sup 3+} ions concentration were studied in detail. Cross-relaxation and the Inokuti–Hirayama model were used to analyze the experimental results. Li{sub 4}SrCa(SiO{sub 4}){sub 2}:xTb{sup 3+} are thermally stable and color tunable phosphors.
