Abstract

Structural, optical, photoluminescence and colorimetric analyses of Gd (1–5 mol %) doped BNT ceramics synthesized by the solid-state reaction technique are reported. Structural analyses of all the samples are done by the X-ray diffraction method. It is shown that the samples have rhombohedral crystal structures with an R3C space group. The energy band gap of all the phosphors is computed from the UV–visible absorbance spectra. Photoluminescence behaviors are analyzed from the excitation along with the emission spectra of the prepared materials. The critical quenching concentration with the critical energy transfer distance is observed owing to the dipole–dipole interactions between the materials. Colorimetric analyses are carried out with the help of CIE chromaticity. Moreover, the color purity, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, and luminous efficiency of radiation values are evaluated by using the chromaticity coordinates.
