SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND PHOTOLUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF EU3+DOPED CALCIUM SILICATE PHOSPHOR BY CONVENTIONAL SOLID STATE REACTION METHOD

Calcium Silicate phosphor acquires a higher luminous efficiency when it is doped with rare earth activated ions. Silicate phosphors are used for a fluorescent, a cathode-ray tube, a luminous body, a vacuum ultraviolet excitation light emitting element etc. The silicates of calcium are known for their thermal stability, high temperature strength, low thermal expansion, cheep residence and chemical inertness. The present paper reports on the synthesis, characterization and photoluminescence properties of Eu3+ doped calcium silicate phosphor prepared by conventional solid state reaction method heating at 12000C for 3 hrs. The received cakes are grounded for 30 minutes each. The phosphors are prepared and the received powder is subjected to PL, XRD, SEM, EDAX and CIE analysis. The following section discusses and the experimental results are mentioned in these phosphors. The present Phosphor can act as a host for red light emission in many display devices and technological applications.
