Abstract
Novel cerium/lanthanum/terbium (LaCeTb) mixed phosphates, especially useful in luminescence for the production of green phosphors, have the formula (I): EQU La.sub.x Ce.sub.y Tb.sub.1-x-y PO.sub.4 in which X ranges from 0.4 to 0.6 and x+y is greater than 0.8, display a lightness (L.sup.*) of greater than 98% after calcination at a temperature above 700.degree. C. in air, and the cerium (IV) and/or terbium (IV) contents of which are very low, even after calcination in air at a temperature above 500.degree. C.
