The Tb3+-doped Y4Al2O9 powders were synthesized by combustion technique employing dual (Glycine +Urea) fuel. Formation of the compound was confirmed by xRd technique. Photoluminescence (PL) properties of Tb3+ ions doped Y4Al2O9 (with Tb3+concentration = 0.5,1,1.5,2, 2.5 mol%) were investigated. It was found that Y4(1-x)Tb4xAl2O9 phosphor exhibits green emission under 251 nm excitation. The emission intensity is found to be maximum at 2 mol % of Tb3+ activation further increase in Tb3+ incorporation deceases the emission intensity exhibiting concentration quenching.
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.
