Wako, Ali Halake; Dejene, F. B.; Swart, H.C. (2015)Thin films of cerium doped yttrium gadolinium aluminate garnet (Y-Gd)3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YGAG:Ce) were grown on Si(100) substrates by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a 266 nm Nd:YAG pulsed laser under varying ... -
Combustion synthesis, characterization and luminescence properties of barium aluminate phosphor
Wako, Ali Halake; Dejene, F. B.; Swart, H.C. (Elsevier, 2014-09)The blue-green emitting Eu2+ and Nd3+ doped polycrystalline barium aluminate (BaAl2O4:Eu2+,Nd3+) phosphor, was prepared by a solution-combustion method at 500 °C without a post-annealing process. The characteristic variation ... -
Effect of Ga3+ and Gd3+ ions substitution on the structural and optical properties of Ce3+-doped yttrium aluminium garnet phosphor nanopowders
Wako, Ali Halake; Dejene, F. B.; Swart, H.C. (John Wiley & Sons, 2016-01)ABSTRACT: The structural and optical properties of commercially obtained Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphor were investigated by replacing Al3+ with Ga3+ and Y3+ with Gd3+ in the Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ structure to form Y3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce3+ and ... -
Influence of alkaline earth metal cations; Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ on the structural and optical properties of MAl2O4: Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphors.
Wako, Ali Halake; Dejene, F. B.; Swart, H.C. (2014)Eu2+ doped and Nd3+ co-doped MAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) phosphors were prepared by a solution-combustion method. The obtained powders were investigated in terms of their phase composition, particle morphology ... -
