Synthesis of Mn 2þ -activated zinc silicate phosphor using the combustion method is described. An efficient phosphor can be prepared by this method at reaction temperatures as low as 500 C in a few minutes. The phosphor so prepared is compared with those prepared by other methods such as sol-gel and CGUPS.
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.
