Abstract
This work features the synthesis and characterization of Al2O3 phosphors doped with different concentrations of barium. The samples are produced by a modified sol-gel route, with glucose used as a chelating agent. The luminescent response of the phosphors is also evaluated through their thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). These optical properties are characterized with pellets obtained from the addition of Teflon to the phosphors. Through the TL analysis carried out with a heating rate of 10 °C/s, the samples reveal two intense TL glow peaks with different glow curve shapes when varying the dopant concentration of all the samples. By means of the TL emission curves of the pellets, activation energies associated with the transfer processes of the materials are determined. The phosphors present typical exponential OSL decay curves with a predominance of fast and medium components, indicating that the traps have a high photoionization cross section for blue light-emitting diodes.
