Synthesis, characterization and studies of radiative properties on Eu3+-doped ZnAl2O4

► Paper deals with synthesis and characterization of Eu3+-doped ZnAl2O4 phosphor. ► Apart from PL and TSL characterizations, CIE coordinates were determined. ► The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters and quantum efficiency were evaluated. ► The system could be employed as a potential red emitting phosphor.
