Abstract: The structural and luminescence properties of single-phase Na$_{3.6}$Y$_{1.8−x}$Sc$_x$(PO_4)$_3$ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7, x = 1.8) phosphors have been studied for the first time. X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of a homogeneous solid solution with a NASICON-type structure. No phase transitions were observed by Raman spectroscopy within the 88–873 K temperature range. The bandgap of Na$_{3.6}$Y$_{1.8−x}$Sc$_x$(PO_4)$_3$ solid solutions was estimated to be E$_g$ ∼ 8 eV, showing no significant dependence on composition. Luminescence properties were examined under VUV, synchrotron, and electron beam irradiation. An intense UV emission was observed under VUV and synchrotron excitation, attributed to 2pO–3dSc self-trapped excitons. Enhanced intensity and thermal stability of exciton emission are detected for solid solutions and related to the effect of structural disorder.
