Combustion synthesis and thermoluminescence in YAlO3:Dy3+
2016
In the Y2O3-Al2O3 system, compounds Y3Al5O12 (yttrium aluminum garnet, YAG),YAlO3 (yttrium aluminum perovskite, YAP), and Y4Al2O9(yttrium aluminate monoclinic, YAM) are well known. Though several soft chemical routes have been explored for synthesis of YAG, YAP and YAM, most of these methods are complex. Moreover, phase pure materials are not obtained in one step and prolonged annealing at temperatures around 1000°C is necessary. In this paper, one step combustion synthesis of the compound YAlO3:Dy3+ is reported using a modified procedure and employing mixed (glycine + urea) fuel. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the pervoskite phase of YAlO3. Thermoluminescence study shows linear response in wide dose range (0.2 – 1 KGy) suggest the possibility of the present phosphor in dosimeter application.
