Highlights: ► The visible quantum cutting between Tb{sup 3+} in silicate Na{sub 3}Gd{sub 0.9−x}Y{sub x}Si{sub 3}O{sub 9}:0.1Tb{sup 3+} phosphors are firstly investigated. ► Gd{sup 3+} plays an important intermediate role during the QC process and reinforces the cross relaxation efficiency. ► Na{sub 3}Gd{sub 0.9}Tb{sub 0.1}Si{sub 3}O{sub 9} has potential application for 3D-PDPs and Hg-free lamps for the total QE of 151.2%. - Abstract: The visible quantum cutting via cross-relaxation between Tb{sup 3+} ions in Na{sub 3}Gd{sub 0.9−x}Y{sub x}Si{sub 3}O{sub 9}:0.1Tb{sup 3+} phosphors are identified for the first time. It has also been found that with the increase of the ratio of Gd{sup 3+}/Y{sup 3+}, the quantum cutting efficiency increases, which indicates the Gd{sup 3+} plays an important intermediate role in energy transfer to convert vacuum ultraviolet light to visible light and reinforces the cross relaxation efficiency during the quantum cutting process. In addition, the energy transfer process from Gd{sup 3+} to Tb{sup 3+} is also investigated and discussed in terms of luminescence spectra.
