Abstract

Series of high-purity CaAl2O4:Sm3+ phosphors were first successfully prepared by the Self-Propagating Combustion Synthesis (SPCS) methods. The unit cell of CaAl2O4:Sm3+ was confirmed monoclinic system with a space group P21/n by XRD analysis. Lattice constant refinement was a = 0.8699nm, b = 0.8212 nm, c = 1.5207nm, β = 90.1584°, Z=12. Emission peaks attributed to 4G5/2→6HJ (J = 5/2, 7/2, 9/2, 11/2) transitions at 568nm, 603nm, 655nm and 715nm, respectively, and Sm3+ ions mainly took up symmetry center lattice. Excitation peaks belonged to f→f configuration transition absorption of at 406nm, 379nm, 367nm and 349nm, which maybe attributed to 6H5/2→(4F7/2, 4L13/2), (4D1/2, 6P7/2), 4F9/2, 4K15/2, respectively. Vibration feature of products was investigated by FT-IR spectra. SEM revealed products had smooth surface, the better crystallization.
