Abstract

The aluminate hosts were basically activated with the Eu3+- and Ho3+-ions which were prepared by solid-state reaction in this study. The DTA/TG results were used as a reference for the heat treatments of the samples. The Ba3Al2O6:Eu3+, Ho3+ phosphor was well indexed to the expected phase, and MgAl2O4:Eu3+, Ho3+ could not be indexed as single phase by powder X-ray diffraction analysis to the any major phase in spite of repeated and increased heat treatments for this system. Thus, MgAl2O4 and MgO impurities were obtained. Noteworthy photoluminescent results were obtained since the transitions of Eu3+-ions occurred for both of the samples.
