Effect of Eu3+ Concentration on the BaAl2O4/CaAl4O7: x% Eu3+ (0 ≤ x ≤ 5.5) Mixed-Phase Nanophosphors Synthesized Using Citrate Sol-Gel Method

A series of undoped mixed-phase BaAl2O4/CaAl4O7 (hereafter called BC) and doped BC: x% Eu3+ (0 < x ≤ 5.5) nanophosphors were successfully prepared by the citrate sol-gel technique. Their structure, morphology, and optical properties were studied in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning elec...
