Abstract

Synthesis of trivalent dysprosium (Dy³⁺) ions activated nanocrystalline vanadate based Ca₈ZnBi(VO₄)₇ phosphor was done using the solution combustion method. Using Rietveld refinement and x-ray diffraction profiles, the trigonal phase of the constructed series with the R3c (161) space group was verified. The PL emission spectrum reveals two different bands at 485 and 575 nm. The bright blue emission peak at 485 nm is attributed to the ⁴F_9/2 → ⁶H_15/2 hypersensitive transition of Dy³⁺ ions. Electron microscopy techniques, TEM and SEM, were exercised to analyze the structural characteristics. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), was utilized to compute the elemental composition. The host and optimal nanopowder had a band gap of 3.18 eV and 3.16 eV. The optimal nanomaterial has a decay time of 0.7470 ms, quantum efficiency of 64.80 %, and non-radiative rates of 471.1 s⁻¹. The colorimetric quantities with color coordinates (0.3167, 0.3349), and correlated color temperature (6257 K), indicate that it emits cool white light and can be used in outdoor lighting devices such as white LEDs and making it ideal for latent fingerprint (LFP) development.

期刊介绍： Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications and original research articles on significant developments in condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of solids and other condensed systems and also on their preparation. The submission of manuscripts reporting research on the basic physics of materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art microstructures and nanostructures, is encouraged. A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental data. Consistent with these aims, the short communications should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than six printed pages. The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Solid State Communications now also welcomes original research articles without length restrictions. The Fast-Track section of Solid State Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
