Green-emitting Er3+-doped La3GaO6 phosphors: gel-combustion synthesis, rietveld refinement and photoluminescence properties for solid-state lighting applications
Er3+-doped La3GaO6 (LGO) nanophosphors were prepared via a gel-combustion route and their structural as well as optical properties were studied in detail. Rietveld-refined XRD analysis confirmed the orthorhombic crystal structure of the prepared nanophosphor with a Cmc21 space group. The synthesized phosphors were char...
