Abstract
Using urea as fuel, SrMgAl 10O 17:Eu, Dy phosphor was prepared by a combustion method. Its luminescence properties under ultraviolet (UV) excitation were investigated. Pure SrMgAl 10O 17 phase was formed by urea-nitrate solution combustion synthesis at 550 °C. The results indicated that the emission spectra of SrMgAl 10O 17:Eu, Dy has one main peak at 460 nm and one shoulder peak near 516 nm, which are ascribed to two different types of luminescent Eu 2+ centers existing in the SrMgAl 10O 17 matrix crystal. The blue luminescence emission of SrMgAl 10O 17:Eu phosphors was improved under UV excitation by codoping Dy 3+ ions. The SrMgAl 10O 17:Eu phosphors showed green afterglow ( λ=516 nm) when Dy 3+ ions were doped. Dy 3+ ions not only successfully play the role of sensitizer for energy transfer in the system, but also act as trap levels and capture the free holes in the spinel blocks.
