Abstract

We present the SrAl2O4:Dy, SrAl2O4:Eu, & SrAl2O4:Dy3+Eu3+ phosphors and these samples were prepared by using the urea fuel combustion method at 550 °C. X-ray diffraction pattern indicates monoclinic structure and good crystallinity, Result of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra is exhibited synthesized compound were pure and overall good morphology. By the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analyzer, surface area was found 30.462 m2/g of SrAl2O4:Dy0.03Eu0.04. homogeneity, rotational, and vibrational properties were also investigated by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. By the help of UV–visible spectroscopy band gap (~ 5 eV) was calculated. The photoluminescence properties were studied of SrAl2O4:Dyx, SrAl2O4:Eux, & SrAl2O4:Dy0.03Eux (x = 0.01 to 0.05) samples. In this order, we have found best SrAl2O4:Dy0.03Eu0.04 photoluminescent sample rather than other samples. The CIE-1931 color coordinate (0.3103, 0.3035), CCT (6914 K), CRI (94), and color purity (89.1%) were calculated of the SrAl2O4:Dy0.03Eu0.04 phosphor. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra were measured of SrAl2O4:Dy0.03Eu0.04 phosphor by 395 nm excitation wavelength. Thermoluminescence glow curve were measured of synthesized phosphors and it is exposed to UV radiation (254 nm). Thermo-luminescence trap** parameters, activation energy and average frequency factor were calculated by Chens peak shape method. The obtained SrAl2O4Eu0.05Dy0.04 is fine phosphor and it has good PL, TL properties due to perfect do** concentration of Dy and Eu, higher elemental purity and perfect crystalline morphology. Therefore, SrAl2O4-based phosphor activated by Dy and Eu metals may be used for future prospective WLEDs applications.
