The solid solution Sr{sub 1−x}Pb{sub x}WO{sub 4} based on luminescent tungstates SrWO{sub 4} and PbWO{sub 4} has been synthesized by solid-state reaction for all compositions 0≤x≤1. Using Rietveld method, the structural data of all polycrystalline samples have been refined and crystal cell parameters exhibited a linear behavior as a function of x. All substituted structures are of scheelite type. Scanning electron microscopy showed that a high level of crystallization characterized the samples, with modifications in sizes and shapes depending on composition x. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy have been performed to characterize the evolution of vibrational modes with substitution rate. Finally, a systematic study of luminescence under X-ray excitation has been performed: in the composition range x=0.2 to 0.4, intensities of emission exhibited increased values. The luminescence profiles have been interpreted in terms of four Gaussian components, two of them depending on substitution rate. - Graphical abstract: Photoluminescence under X-ray excitation of Sr{sub 1−x}Pb{sub x}WO{sub 4} solid solution: (left) decomposition of emission large band into four components for composition x=0.3; (right) variation of total emission intensity with composition x. - Highlights: • Structural study of solid solution Sr{sub 1−x}Pb{sub x} WO{sub 4} using Rietveld analyses. • Variation of Debye–Waller factor with composition x, disorder parameter. • Existence of four components of luminescence under X-ray excitation. • Effect of substitution of Sr by Pb on two components, due to Pb–O–W interactions. • Enhancement of luminescence intensity in a specific composition range.
