Abstract

The luminescence investigations on the calcinated zinc tungstate nanopowder (ZnWO4 NP) synthesized by microwave-assisted synthesis are presented using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) analyses. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns exhibit that the significant wolframite structure of ZnWO4 NP can be detected at calcination temperatures above 300 °C. The 12 K PL and TRPL results demonstrated that the deformation of WO6 octahedra is responsible for the low-energy side of PL spectra and dominate the red-shifted PL spectra with increasing calcination temperatures.
