Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5}:Eu{sup 3+}: Mg{sup 2+} or Ca{sup 2+} phosphor materials were prepared by molten salt method using KCl as flux. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns illustrated that the well crystallized Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5}:Eu{sup 3+}: Mg{sup 2+} or Ca{sup 2+} were formed in the presence of flux under reduced temperature (800 °C) in contrast to conventional solid state method (1200-1500 °C). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images indicate the achievement of well dispersed particles (hexagonal tablet and rod-like structures). Meanwhile, the photo-luminescent studies demonstrated that Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5} is an efficient host to sensitize europium red emissions. The addition of Mg{sup 2+} or Ca{sup 2+} as co-dopant enhanced the luminescent intensity of Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5}: Eu{sup 3+} compound.
