Abstract
TAG (terbium aluminum garnet, (Tb3Al5O12) is being investigated recently for their applications in the realization of photonic devices because of its broad transmission ranging from 350 to 1500nm. An emission property of any material depends upon electronic transition levels, temperature, excitation wavelength etc. A lot of research had been reported on temperature dependent emission properties of TAG. In this study an attempt had been made to explore the excitation dependent emission properties of TAG. TAG was prepared by sol gel technique followed by sintering at 1100°C. Structural phase was analysis from the XRD spectra. XRD studies confirmed the formation of nano material and has cubic structure. The emission properties were studied by exciting the TAG by UV light and blue light i.e. 280nm, 300nm, 380 nm, 400nm, 480 and 484nm. Spectra power distribution curve was obtained from emission data excited by with UV radiation and blue light. From emission spectra, Colour co-ordinates (CIE), colour correlated temperature (CCT) and colour purity were calculated for TAG at different excitation. Emission properties indicates that TAG is potential nanophosphor for optical devices.
