Abstract

Rare earth-doped Mg4Al2O7:Eu3+,Dy3+ and Ca4Al2O7:Eu3+,Dy3+ were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method at 1,400 °C. The phosphors were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, photoluminescence, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray powder diffraction studies show that the Mg4Al2O7:Eu3+,Dy3+ phosphor was crystallized in the triclinic crystal system but that Ca4Al2O7:Eu3+,Dy3+ was not. The phosphors show the characteristic broad band phosphorescence of Eu3+. This broad band phosphorescence has red emission bands in the range of 550–700 nm corresponding to 5 D 0 → 7 F j (j: 1, 2, 3,) transitions of Eu3+.
