Abstract
The ZnAl1.999Ho0.001O4 phosphor, prepared by the solid-state method, crystallizes in the cubic spinel structure. Morphology and chemical composition homogeneity were determined via Energy Dispersive X-ray and SEM analysis. The (Eg) optical band gap was evaluated from the UV/vis absorption spectrum, confirming direct transition behavior according to Tauc's law. The Urbach energy (Eu) in the ZnAl1.999Ho0.001O4 spinel was higher than that in the ZnAl2O4 spinel, indicating increased disorder and a higher concentration of defects due to Ho3+ ions. The penetration depth (δ(λ)), optical extinction (k(λ)), and refractive index (n(λ)) were assessed across wavelengths (λ). The room temperature absorption spectrum revealed several peaks corresponding to the 4f-4f transitions of Ho3+ ions.
