| Abstract | An undoped and Eu3+ doped magnesium aluminate spinel (MAS) was synthesized using a citric acid assisted combustion technique. MAS samples were characterized systematically using X-ray diffraction (XRD), time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPLS) and ab initio calculations. On irradiating the undoped MAS with UV light; multicolor emission is observed. The blue emission peak was attributed to Mg2+ vacancies whereas the one in the green region was attributed to oxygen vacancies. Based on the emission spectrum it was inferred that the majority of europium ions are localized at the Mg2+ site which was also confirmed using lifetime measurements. DFT based cohesive energy calculations also showed Eu doping in the Mg position is energetically more favorable than doping in the Al position. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy shows that the emission spectrum consists of host as well as Eu3+ emission indicating the absence of complete host–dopant energy transfer. DFT calculated density of states analysis shows that Eu states are solely localized in VB and CB regions and do not contribute in defects states. From the emission spectrum of the undoped MAS sample it was observed that photo-luminescence properties of the MgAl2O4 are dominantly governed by the defect states coming from the presence of cation and oxygen vacancies (neutral and charged). As a result photon energy transfer from host MAS to dopant Eu is difficult. The actual site symmetry for europium ions in MAS was also evaluated based on a stark splitting pattern which comes out to be C2v. Based on Judd–Ofelt analysis it was found that the Ω2 value is greater than Ω4; indicating high covalency and low symmetry around europium ions which is also observed in the emission spectrum. The high purity of the red emission coupled with good fluorescence quantum yields highlights the potential of this unexplored MAS as a promising phosphor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
