Abstract

Calcium titanate doped with praseodymium was prepared through solid state reaction and it exhibited intense red emission at 612 nm. Phosphors were characterized for photoluminescence, thermo-luminescence and afterglow emissions. Study of effects of rare earths on photoluminescence as well as afterglow intensity was reported. Presence of gadolinium enhanced luminescence. Presence of some monovalent ions enhanced both afterglow and photoluminescence emission. Thermo-luminescence glow curves were analyzed and trap parameters were estimated. Temperature dependence of luminescence was also investigated.
