Europium and dysprosium-doped calcium magnesium silicate powder with different concentrations of dysprosium were synthesized using solid-state reaction. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra confirmed the proper preparation of the sample. The prepared phosphors were characterized using photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra. Prominent green colour emission was obtained under ultraviolet excitation. The thermoluminescence glow curves of the samples were measured at various delay times. With increased delay time, the intensity of the thermoluminescence peak decays and the position of the thermoluminescence peak shifts towards higher temperature, indicating the considerable retrapping associated with general order kinetics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
