Abstract
Manganese doped BaMgAl10O17 nano-phosphors were synthesized by a low-temperature initiated, gas producing solution combustion process. Phase purity of the prepared phosphors was determined using X-ray diffraction technique. Dynamic light scattering technique was used to estimate the average particle size of the synthesized products. Scanning electron microscopy technique was used to study the morphology of the prepared samples. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to ascertain the formation of the aluminate host. UV–visible absorption spectroscopy showed band maxima at around 260 nm and intense band maxima at around 216 nm. Electron paramagnetic resonance experiments for the system were carried out to understand the site occupancy of the Mn ions. The photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra suggested the stabilisation of Mn ions in Td geometry. From the colour characterisation of the system it was found out that the system can be effective as a green phosphor material with wide range of applications.
