Abstract

BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM:Eu) is widely used as a blue phosphor for fluorescent lamps and plasma display panels (PDP). The improvement of the luminescence efficiency is a significant issue for applications in plasma display panels. In this study, the Aerosol Flame Deposition (AFD) was applied to fabricate BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM:Eu) particles with spherical shape and fine size in order to improve their luminescence. The sub-micrometer powder was synthesized in spherical shape in an oxy-hydrogen flame and deposited on a substrate in the form of porous film. The particle size of as-prepared powder increased with increasing the concentration of precursor solution and the heat treatment under reducing atmosphere increased particle size additionally with surface roughening due to the needle-like crystallized phases. Photoluminescence spectrum was observed at about 450nm due to the 5d–4f transition of Eu2+ and the intensity of phosphor was as high as 70% of that of the commercial phosphor.
