| Abstract: | LaBSiO5 phosphors doped with Ce3+ and Tb3+ were synthesized using the conventional solid‐state method at 1100 °C. The phase purity and luminescent properties of these phosphors are investigated. LaBSiO5:Tb3+ phosphors show intense green emission, and LaBSiO5 phosphors doped with Ce3+ show blue–violet emission under UV light excitation. LaBSiO5 phosphors co‐doped with Ce3+ and Tb3+ exhibit blue–violet and green emission under excitation by UV light. The blue–violet emission is due to the 5d–4f transition of Ce3+ and the green emission is ascribed to the 5D4 → 7 F5 transition of Tb3+. The spectral overlap between the excitation band of Tb3+ and the emission band of Ce3+ supports the occurrence of energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+, and the energy transfer process was investigated.
