Disintegration of microcrystalline Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphor powder

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Zn2SiO4:Mn (willemite) nanoparticles ∼30 nm in size have been prepared by disintegrating microcrystalline willemite powder in a planetary ball mill. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micros-copy characterization showed that ball milling of the Zn2SiO4:Mn powder for 60 min or a longer time ensured complete disintegration of the microcrystalline material and that the crystal structure of the resultant nanoparticles was identical to that of the parent powder.
