NaLa(WO4)2:Eu3+ phosphors with different Eu3+ concentrations have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The phase is confirmed by XRD analysis, which shows a pure-phase NaLa(WO4)2 XRD pattern for all of NaLa(WO4)2:Eu3+ phosphors. The SEM and TEM images indicate that all of NaLa(WO4)2:Eu3+ phosphors have a octahedral morphology. These suggest that the Eu3+ doping has no influence on the structure and growth of NaLa(WO4)4 particles. By monitoring the emission of Eu3+ at 615 nm, NaLa(WO4)2:Eu3+ phosphors show excitation bands originating from both host and Eu3+ ions. Under the excitation at 271 nm corresponding to WO42− groups, emission bands coming from the 1A1 → 3T1 transition with the WO42− groups and the 5D0 → 7Fj (j = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions of Eu3+ are observed. The emission intensity relating to WO42− groups decreases with increasing Eu3+ concentration. But emission intensities of Eu3+ increase firstly and then decreases because of concentration quenching effect. Under the excitation at 395 nm corresponding to 7F0 → 5L6 transition of Eu3+, only characteristic Eu3+ emission bands can be observed. The results of this work suggest that tunable luminescence can be obtained for Eu3+ doped NaLa(WO4)2 phosphors by changing Eu3+ concentration and excitation wavelength.
