Nanocrystalline CaYAlO 4 :Sm 3+ phosphors were synthesized by a citrate‐based sol–gel method. After annealing at 1000 °C, the closely packed particles with pure tetragonal crystalline structure were observed. The photoluminescence spectra exhibited the emission peaks of 565 nm ( 4 G 5/2 → 6 H 5/2 ), 600 nm ( 4 G 5/2 → 6 H 7/2 ), and 650 nm ( 4 G 5/2 → 6 H 9/2 ) under an excitation wavelength of 409 nm. The optimum concentration of CaYAlO 4 :Sm 3+ phosphors was found to be 2 mol%. The lifetimes were measured to analyze the effect of Sm 3+ concentration in CaYAlO 4 host lattice. And similar emissions of cathode‐luminescence (CL) spectra were also observed. By increasing the accelerating voltage from 1 to 5 kV, the CL intensity was linearly increased.
