Abstract
In this paper we reported Eu2+ luminescence in novel Ca3.5Mg0.5Si3O8Cl4 phosphors synthesized by combustion method at 5500C furnace temperature. Phosphor was well characterized by XRD for confirmation of phase purity and PL properties of Ca3.5Mg0.5Si3O8Cl4:Eu2+ shows emission wavelength at 494 nm corresponds to 4f65d1→4f7 transition of Eu2+ ion by keeping excitation extending broad-band from 300-400 nm centred at 345 nm. Scanning electron microscopy has been used for exploring the morphological properties of the prepared phosphors. The PL characteristics show that prepared phosphor have potential application for near UV-excited white-LEDs..
