In this paper, a series of Sm activated Ba 3 Y(BO 3 ) 3 phosphors are synthesized byhigh-temperature solution combustion method. The concentration of Sm ions is changed from 1 to 5 mol% in the host lattice of BYB crystal. The crystal structure, phase of formation, particle size, elemental analysis, photoluminescence study of synthesized phosphors aredone using X-ray diffraction, FE-SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and photo luminescent (PL) techniques. The excitation spectra consisted of strong bands in the NUV and blue region. The phosphors on excitation at 449 nm exhibited a strong emission peak in the region 630-660 nm, which corresponds to the absorption spectra of PR phytochrome. The obtained photometric results show that these can be used for the design of light-emitting diodes for indoor plant applications, houseplants gardening and in horticultural fixtures.
