摘要
In this study, BaAl2O4/MgAl2O4/MgO:x% Gd3+ (BMM:x% Gd3+) (0 <= x <= 1.1) mixed phases nanophosphors were prepared for the first-time using sol-gel method. The effect of Gd3+ concentration on the morphology, structure, and optical characteristics were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the presence of hexagonal (BaAl2O4), cubic (MgAl2O4 and MgO) phases. Varying the Gd3+ concentration has no significant influence on the prepared nanophosphors morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the presence of the anticipated elementary compositions. Photoluminescence (PL) results showed three emissions peaks located around 312, 616 and 730 nm. The emission peak at 312 nm was ascribed to P-6(7/2)-> S-6(7/2) transition in Gd3+ whereas other emission peaks originated from other impurities such as Cr3+.
