Abstract
Abstract Novel near white light emitting Y 2 CaZnO 5 (YCZ) nanocrystalline powders doped with Dy 3+ ions were synthesized via the citrate gel combustion method. The structure of the compound is found to be triclinic with a particle size in the range of 20–30 nm. Luminescence properties have been characterized using photoluminescence (PL), excitation spectra and decay time measurements. The PL spectra have shown a broad blue band due to 4 F 9/2 → 6 H 15/2 transition and sharp yellow band corresponding to 4 F 9/2 → 6 H 13/2 transition of Dy 3+ ions. From the concentration dependent PL studies, the optimum concentration of Dy 3+ ions in YCZ is found to be 1.0 mol%, where intense near white light emission was observed. The Dy 3+ :YCZ nanophosphor has shown relatively better white color properties than the reported Dy 3+ :Y 2 O 3 nanophosphor. The yellow to blue intensity ratios, CIE chromaticity coordinates and correlated color temperature studies have shown the possibility of using this compound for white light emission.
