Effects of Mg2+ concentration on the structure and optical properties of MgxAl2O3+x:0.88% Cd2+ (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 4.5) nano-powders synthesized via citrate sol-gel

Un-doped (Mg1.5Al2O4.5) and 0.88% Cd2+ doped MgxAl2O3+x nano-powders were synthesized via citrate sol-gel method. The Mgx concentration was varied in the range of 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 4.5. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data revealed that Mg0.25Al2O3.25:0.88% Cd2+ consists of poorly crystalline and amorphous pha...
