Description
Summary:YAlO3: Sm(3+) phosphor has been synthesized by the solid state reaction method with calcium flouride used as a flux. The resulting YAlO3: Sm(3+) phosphor was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence . . PL excitation spectrum was found at 254,332,380,400,407, 603 and 713 nm. Under excitation of UV(713 nm) YAlO3: Sm(3+) (0-3 %) broad band emission were observed from 400 to 790 nm with a maximum around 713 nm of YAlO3 host lattice accompanied by weak emission of Sm(3+) ((4)G5/2 - (6)H5/2, (6)H7/2,(6)H9/2) transitions. The results of the XRD show that obtained YAlO3: Sm(3+) phosphor has a orthorhombic structure. The study suggested that Sm(3+) doped phosphors are potential luminescence material for laser diode pumping and inorganic scintillators.
