Abstract
The LaAl11O18:Mn2+ powder phosphor has been prepared using a self-propagating synthesis. Formation and homogeneity of the LaAl11O18:Mn2+ phosphor has been verified by X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analysis respectively. The EPR spectra of Mn2+ ions exhibit resonance signals with effective g values at g≈4.8 and g≈1.978. The signal at g≈1.978 exhibits six-line hyperfine structure and is due to Mn2+ ions in an environment close to tetrahedral symmetry, whereas the resonance at g≈4.8 is attributed to the rhombic surroundings of the Mn2+ ions. It is observed that the number of spins participating in resonance for g≈1.978 increases with decreasing temperature obeying the Boltzmann law. Upon 451nm excitation, the photoluminescence spectrum exhibits a green emission peak at 514nm due to 4T1 (G)→6A1 (S) transition of Mn2+ ions. The crystal field parameter Dq and Racah inter-electronic repulsion parameters B and C have been evaluated from the excitation spectrum.
