The XRD results confirmed that all samples were assigned to cubic perovskite-type SrSnO3 structured with the Pm3m space group. The PL emission spectrum of Dy3+ activated samples consisted of some characteristic peaks located at 481 nm, 572 nm, 660 nm and 753 nm, corresponding to (4F9/2 -> 6H15/2, blue), (4F9/2 -> 6H13/2, yellow), 660 nm (4F9/2 -> 6H11/2, red) and 753 nm (4F9/2 -> 6H9/2, red) transitions. The PL emission line intensity is gradually enhanced with an increase in doping concentration up to 3 wt %, followed by concentration quenching. The confinement effects of localized resonant energy transfer might cause higher concentration quenching. PL emission spectra were affected by the temperature range from 10 K to 300 K. PL emission anomalies at 270 K in SrSnO3:Dy3+ have been reported to be consistent with a structural phase tran-sition at this temperature. This work confirms Singh et al.'s observation, revealing that SrSnO3 has a phase transition at 270 K.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConcentration Quenching; Dy Ions; Hydrothermal Reaction; Phase Transition; Resonant Energy Transfer; Strontium StannateArticle10.1016/j.ceramint.2022.12.0114971164111646N/AWOS:0009446400000012-s2.0-85143969531Q1
