Analysis of Nd3+ concentration on the structure, morphology and photoluminescence of sol-gel Sr3ZnAl2O7 nanophosphor

Neodymium activated strontium zinc aluminate (Sr3ZnAl2O7:x%Nd3+) nanophosphor was synthesized using the sol-gel technique whereby the Nd3+ concentration was varied in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2. The effect of Nd3+ concentration on the structure, particle morphology and photoluminescence properties of Sr3Zn...
