Synthesis, Structure and Optical Property of ZnAl2O4:Tb3+ Phosphor
phosphor powders were synthesized by sol-gel method with different doping concentrations of Tb
3+
and secondary calcination temperatures. Then they were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL). The XRD patterns show that the pure spinel phase of high crystallinity can be obtained when the mole fraction of Tb
3+
is less than 9% and the secondary calcination temperature exceeds 600℃. Under the excitation of ultraviolet light

concentration quenching and temperature quenching appear
respectively.
