Abstract
Dy3+:GAG nanophosphors have been newly synthesized by solvothermal process. Spherically shaped particles in the nanometer range prepared by this method were evidenced by X-ray diffraction and SEM measurements. The synthesis, structural and luminescent properties along with chromaticity coordinates of the nanophosphor samples with the compositions xDy3+:Gd (1-x)Al5O12 (x = 0.5-5 mol%) are featured in this paper. Furthermore, the yellow to blue intensity ratio of Dy3+:GAG nanophosphors varies from 0.63 to 0.55. Such luminescent powders are expected to find potential applications such as fluorescent lamps and optical display systems.
