Abstract The luminescent properties of Gd3PO7:Eu were investigated in UV and VUV regions. This phosphor has so strong emissions around 618.5 nm under UV excitation, especially around 209\,nm, so that it has a better colour saturation than that of Y2O3:Eu. It would be a new potential red phosphor for lamp and other applications with UV-excitation source or even for displaying device. In the VUV excitation spectrum of Eu3+ emissions, energy absorptions by Gd3+, Gd-O and PO3-4 were observed, on which it can be inferred that there are three kinds of energy transferring processes to Eu3+ ions. The energy absorptions of Gd3+, Gd-O and PO3-4 are induced by 4f → 4f transitions, band-gap transition of Gd3PO7 and intramolecular (2t2 → 2a, 3t2) transition, respectively. The energy transfer efficiency of the PO3-4 intramolecular transition is lower compared with that of the band-gap transition (Gd-O).
