CHARACTERISATION AND LUMINESCENCE INVESTIGATIONS OF Mn DOPED CaAl2O4 PHOSPHOR PREPARED BY COMBUSTION
Abstract
Manganese-doped calcium aluminate powder was prepared at furnace temperatures as low as 500°C using the combustion route without further calcining treatment. Powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy measurements were used to characterize the as-prepared combustion products, while the optical properties were studied using photoluminescence. Photoluminescence studies of Mn doped CaAl2O4 showed green emission from Mn2+ ions. EPR investigations also indicated the presence of Mn2+ ions in the prepared material.
