Structural & Thermal Investigation Studies of Synthesized Cerium Doped Akermanite Phosphor

Abstract

Here, we reported that the TL characteristics of rare earth Ce doped  phosphor using conventional high temperature solid-state reaction technique at the constant furnace temperature 1200⁰C. It was further characterized by XRD (x-ray diffraction), for confirmation of phase purity, and also characterized by Thermoluminescence reader for thermal properties. The synthesized material has shown tetragonal crystal structure with single phase. We have observed the TL glow curve situated at 131.25⁰C which reveals that the TL intensity is maximum for 15 minutes UV-irradiation time for Ce dopant ions. The synthesized phosphor displays potential application as a long persistent phosphor as well as better TL material.
