Effect of Urea’s Quantity on the Afterglow Characteristic of CaAl2O4:Eu2+,Nd3+ Phosphor Prepared by Combustion Synthesis
is prepared utilizing the redox reaction of respective metal nitrates and urea by combustion synthesis with ignition temperatures of 600℃.The X-ray diffraction(analysis) showed that it is coincident with the JCPDS Card(No.23-1036) and its crystal structure is CaAl

which belongs to monoclinic phase and the crystal lattice constant is as follows:
a
=0.8698 nm
b
=0.8092 nm
c
=1.5208 nm.With the invariable concentration of metallic ions nitrate
a series of phosphor samples were synthesized by altering the ratio of urea and nitrate.The emission spectra and excitation spectra of the phosphor were investigated.The excitation spectra of CaAl

.When the quantity of urea exceed double of theoretic quantity

distinctly and the optimal quantity of urea is 5 times of theoretic quantity.When more urea was used in the experiment
the luminescent intensity will decrease and the lasting time will be shorten.
