Study of luminescence properties of dysprosium-doped CaAl O phosphor for white light-emitting diodes.

Dy -doped CaAl O phosphors were synthesized utilizing a combustion method. Crystal structure and morphological examinations were performed respectively using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques to identify the phase and morphology of the synthesized samples. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) estimations were carried out using the KBr method.

Structural and photoluminescence study of Mn2+-activated CaYAl3 O7 blue phosphors.

The structural and photoluminescence properties of CaYAl3 O7 phosphor material doped with varying concentration of Mn(2+) have been studied. The phosphor material was synthesized by the combustion method at 500 °C and was characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). X-ray diffraction showed that the crystallites have average sizes in the range of ~58-70 nm.
