title: Novel blue-emitting SrMg2Al16O27:Eu2+ phosphor for solid-state lighting.
abstract: Eu(2+)-activated SrMg(2)Al(16)O(27) novel phosphor was synthesized by a combustion method (550°C furnace). The prepared phosphor was first characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for confirmation of phase purity. SEM analysis showed the morphology of the phosphor. The photoluminescence characteristics showed broad-band excitation at 324 nm, which was monitored at 465 nm emission wavelength. The SrMg(2)Al(16)O(27):Eu(2+) phosphor shows broad blue emission centred at 465 nm, emitting a blue light corresponding to 4f(6) 5d(1) → 4f(7) transition. Here we report the photoluminescence characteristics of the prepared phosphor and compare it with commercial BAM:Eu(2+) phosphor.
