It was presented and discussed the results obtained on the luminescence and other optical studies such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption and luminescence properties of Li2SiO3:Sm3+ phosphor ceramic. The Li2SiO3 compound was shown a characteristic phase in XRD. The doping in the lithium compound was not having a significant effect on the basic crystal structure of the material. The maximum photoluminescence (PL) emission for Sm3+ doped Li2SiO3 was observed at 554, 583, 641, 725 nm and bore resemblance to the visible region of the spectrum. The glow curves of all synthesized materials have a complex peak structure after being irradiated with a 90Sr–90Y beta source. In addition, the peak between 400 and 600 nm was seen in the radioluminescence (RL) spectrum because of a wide peak thought to be caused by silicate. © 2022 The Society of Powder Technology JapanDetermination of optical and structural properties of lithium silicate ceramics with different ratios of Sm dopedArticle10.1016/j.apt.2022.103685
