Synthesis and Characterization of Terbium Doped Strontium Aluminate Nanophosphor

Jisha V. T., G. Suresh

Abstract


Luminescence investigations of Tb activated strontium aluminate phosphors prepared using the sol-gel method are described. The phosphor has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction scanning electron microscope. Optical properties were studied by photoluminescence spectra. Photoluminescence studies of the prepared phosphors showed prominent IR emission, apart from near-band edge emission and green emission.
