  Abstract

Laponite samples intercalated with Tb3+ or Tb3+,Ce3+ ions were prepared by exchange of Na+ ions in interlayers with Tb3+ or Ce3+ ions. Strong green and weak blue emissions under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation (λ = 158 nm) were observed due to the 5D4→7FJ and 5D3→7FJ emission lines, respectively. Tb3+ ions in an interlayer of laponite mainly existed in ion pairs or clusters, as evidenced by the concentration-dependent luminescence of the Tb3+ ions on the relative intensities of the 5D3→7FJ and the 5D4→7FJ emission lines, due to the action of a cross-relaxation process. The addition of Ce3+ ions increased the thermal stability of Tb3+ intercalated laponite up to 650 oC and quenched the 5D3→7FJ emission lines, probably by promoting the formation of Tb3+ ion pairs at relatively low Tb3+ concentrations.
