A cost-effective urea assisted solution combustion (SC) method was used to synthesize a series of doped YAlO3:Dy3+ (0.01-0.08 mol) phosphors. The resulting nanomaterials exhibited an orthorhombic structure and showed good optical properties, making them suitable for near ultraviolet (NUV) excited white light emitting diode (WLED) applications.
Cost-effective urea assisted solution combustion (SC) synthetic method was employed to prepare a series of doped YAlO3:Dy3+ (0.01-0.08 mol) phosphors. The resulting powdered samples were comprehensively examined through various structural as well as optical measurements. Rietveld refinement studies concluded that prepared nanomaterials structured into the orthorhombic system having Pbnm (62) space group. Energy dispersive spectral (EDS) analysis was executed to observe the relative proportions of constituent elements in all doped nanophosphors. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrograph indicated the presence of agglomerated particles with the average size in the nano range. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra showed that the designated phosphors could be excited by near ultraviolet (NUV) energized lighting sources. The strongest emission centred at 576 nm, corresponding to electric dipole (F-4(9/2) -> H-6(13/2)) transition of Dy(III) ion. Furthermore, characteristics photometric parameters viz. correlated color temperature (CCT), chromaticity coordinates (x and y), and color purity (%) were figure out with the aid of PL data, which strongly endorsed their usage in NUV energized WLEDs applications.
