Graphical abstract: The phosphor powders of NaY(WO{sub 4}){sub 2}: Dy{sup 3+} were prepared by solid state reaction. For the different kinds of excitations, the dependence of luminescence intensity on the Tb{sup 3+} concentration was investigated. Display Omitted Highlights: ► We synthesize NaY(WO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Dy{sup 3+} phosphors by the solid-state reaction technique. ► We observe and explain the change of Y/B ratio with Dy{sup 3+} content. ► The I−x curve shows different behavior for different excitations. ► The concentration quenching mechanism is the d–d interaction. -- Abstract: The novel phosphor powders of NaY(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} doped with Dy{sup 3+} were synthesized by solid state reaction. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the phosphors sintered at 900 °C for 6 h were a pure NaY(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} phase for all the Dy{sup 3+} doping concentrations. The room temperature excitation spectra of the phosphors vary with the Dy{sup 3+} concentration and consist of an intense charge transfer band of WO{sub 4}{sup 2−} groups and weak f–f transition absorption peaks of Dy{sup 3+}. The photoluminescence spectra, excited at the peak wavelength of charge transfer band, exhibit three bands centered at 488, 575 and 662 nm, which originate from the transitions of {sup 4}F{sub 9/2} → {sup 6}H{sub 15/2} (blue), {sup 4}F{sub 9/2} → {sup 6}H{sub 13/2} (yellow) and {sup 4}F{sub 9/2} → {sup 6}H{sub 11/2} (red) of Dy{sup 3+}, respectively. The effects of Dy{sup 3+} concentration on luminescence intensity and the yellow-to-blue intensity ratio of the phosphors were investigated. The different behaviors for the doping concentration dependence of luminescence intensity resulted from the different kinds of excitation was discussed.
