摘要

Europium doped Zirconia/Zirconia dioxide (Z1-xrO2:xEu3+, x = 0 to 0.11 mol) are prepared by cost effective solution combustion synthesis. Structural and morphological were studied. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) studies revealed the tetragonal phase of the nanophosphors further scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed that the phosphors were irregular and agglomerated with particle size ranging between 40–70 nm. The photoluminescence emission spectra of the phosphors were studied for the excitation of 400 nm. The energy transfer phenomenon was used to study the nature of mechanism responsible for luminescence quenching. Detailed investigation of spectral intensities of the phosphors were studied using Judd-Oflet (JO) theory. The JO parameters revealed the trend \({\Omega }_{2}>{\Omega }_{4}\) Ω 2 > Ω 4 that implied that field around Eu3+ ions is asymmetric in nature. Further the JO parameters are used to study different radiative parameters that showed the branching ratio and emission cross section for transition 5D07F2 were found to be 60% and 3.342 × 10–22 cm2 respectively. These studies suggests that these phosphors are the potential candidates in the field of lighting and laser applications. In addition to this color coordinates and color purity of Eu3+ doped ZrO2 revealed that the phosphors were close to NTSC recommended specifications.
