Manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized through a coprecipitation method using manganese (II) chloride tetrahydrate (MnCl2·4H2O) and ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) as precursors. The scanning electron microscopy images showed that the as-synthesized particles were granular and about 20 nm. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the manganese ferrite phase was completely decomposed into ferric oxide (Fe2O3) and manganese (III) oxide (Mn2O3) after annealing above 800°C in air. In contrast, its crystalline quality significantly improved when it was annealed in argon. By using the vibrating-sample magnetometry technique, it was demonstrated that the satu... |
Orange-red-emitting Eu3+-doped Ca9Gd(PO4)7 phosphors have been obtained by a sol-gel technique. These phosphors, excited by UV (270 nm) and near UV light (394 nm), emit orange-red light in the range of 580–710 nm. The Ca9Gd(PO4)7:7 mol% Eu3+ phosphor annealed at 1100 °C shows the highest PL intensity. Judd-Ofelt analysis reveals that the neighbor surroundings of Eu3+ ions are asymmetric, and the lowest asymmetry value is found at the dopant ratio of 7 mol%. The optimal phosphor excited by the wavelength of 394 nm displays an excellent thermal stability (∼76.4 % at 160 °C) with an activation energy of 0.163 eV. The corresponding CIE chromaticity coordinates (x; y) and color purity are ... |
