Photoluminescence properties of mixed fuel combustion synthesized Ce3+ ions doped Y3Al5O12 phosphor

The series of Ce3+ ion doped YAG phosphor have been synthesized by mixed fuel combustion technique. The phase purity and crystalline size of phosphors confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis while surface morphology studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photoluminescence (PL) studied within 200–700 nm wavelengths. Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) co-ordinate of phosphor studied for and found suitable for solid state lighting and white LEDs. The nanometric particle size 15.838 nm and 18.683 nm at 900 °C and 1000 °C, respectively, make the mentioned synthesis method idyllic.
