Red and green colors emitting spherical-shaped calcium molybdate nanophosphors for enhanced latent fingerprint detection.

ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis of spherical-shaped rare-earth (Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺) ions doped CaMoO₄ nanoparticles in double solvents (IPA and H₂O) with the help of autoclave. The X-ray diffraction patterns well match with the standard values and confirm the crystallization in a tetragonal phase with an I4₁/a (88) space group. The luminescence spectra exhibit the strong red and green emissions from Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions doped samples, respectively. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show the oxidation states of all the elements present in the sample. The temperature-dependent luminescence spectra reveal the stability of Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions doped samples. The red- and green-emitting Eu³⁺
