Abstract

The preparation of nanostructured ZnAl 2O 4 spinel powders doped with Eu 3+ ions obtained by a hydrothermal method is described. XRD analyses demonstrated that the powders were single-phase spinel nanopowders with high crystallite dispersion. The averaged spinel particle size was determined to be 6 nm as prepared and it increased up to 8 nm for calcination at 500°C. The emission spectra of Eu 3+ ions measured for the samples calcinated at 500°C demonstrated inhomogeneous shapes characteristic for disordered material which after heating at 1500°C changed shape into an ordered shape characteristic of the crystalline form.
