We report, for the first time Sm3+ doped nanocrystalline Sr3Al2O6 phosphor. Effect of Eu3+ doping in the present host is also studied. XRD results match with standard data from JCPDS file confirming cubic structure with Pa3 space group. PL Maximum for Eu/Sm is obtained at 590 nm and 573 nm respectively, and corresponds to orange-red region of electromagnetic spectrum. Morphology of combustion synthesized powder is platelet, while for calcined powders, cubic shaped crystallites are obtained. Information on various trapping parameters is obtained from thermally stimulated Luminescence (TSL) studies. Non-shifting Tm property is applied to define the order of kinetics and is thereafter assumed as 1. Tm − Tstop procedure and repeated initial rise method are applied to estimate apparent activation energies and peak positions. Further, chi-square minimization procedures via computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) technique provide best-fit results. The figure of merit for deconvoluted Eu and Sm doped samples are 0.48% and 0.67% respectively. The apparent activation energies for Eu doped samples are 0.89 eV, 1.05 eV, 1.30 eV, while, for Sm doped samples, the activation energies are 0.84 eV and 1.06 eV. Persistence behavior of the present phosphor is attributed to contribution due to shorter and longer components as are obtained during phosphorescence decay studies. In both the cases; probability of recombination is more in comparison to the retrapping within a quasi continuous framework of trapping sites.
