Abstract :
Pure Ba2MgSi2O7 (BMS) phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction route. The phase identification of the prepared phosphor was done with the help of XRD technique. Actual phase formation and functional group identification of this phosphor was confirmed through Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Photoluminescence properties including with excitation and emission spectra were also studied. Ba2MgSi2O7 (BMS) phosphor revealed its monoclinic crystal symmetry with a space group C2/c. observed that the XRD pattern well matched JCPDS ?le No.23-0842. The average crystallite size was calculated as 29.46nm and strain as 0.30. SEM images reveal that the surface morphology of the particles was not uniform and they aggregated tightly with each other. The prepared phosphor was excited from 337nm and their corresponding emission spectra were recorded at blue (459nm) region. CIE chromaticity diagram represents purple-blue light emission of this phosphor. In this present investigation, XRD, SEM, FTIR and Photoluminescence characteristics of these phosphors are also reported.
