Abstract
Eu 2+ luminescence in novel Sr3.5Mg0.5Si3O8Cl4 and Ba3.5Mg0.5Si3O8Cl4 phosphors is reported in this paper. These were synthesized by combustion method at 550 o C furnace temperature. The prepared phosphors shows PL emission spectra at 445 nm, due to 4f 6 5d 1 → 4f 7 transition of Eu 2+ ions by monitoring excitation at 358 nm for Sr and Ba host lattice. Phase purity was checked by using XRD-pattern. The prepared phosphors have potential applications for solid-state lighting purpose.
