Phase formation and luminescent properties of Сa12Al14O33:Eu, Nd prepared by sol–gel method
Сalcium aluminate Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 and phosphors based on it were obtained using sol–gel technology. Complex studies were used to identify the dynamics of phase and structural transformations in the synthesis of Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 .

Based on thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray phase analysis, scheme of intermediate products transformation during synthesis was proposed.
The highest intensity of luminescent was reached at a neodymium(III) content of 0.05 mol. |
