Investigation of structural, optical, morphological, photoluminescence and antimicrobial properties of SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺ nanophosphor by using urea fuel combustion method.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the Sr_1-xAl₂O₄:Eu_x (x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09) phosphor were synthesized by urea fuel combustion method at 580 °C temperature with very high brightness and long after glow. The structural studies carried out using XRD technique shows that the sample is single phased in nature and it gets crystallized into monoclinic phase with standard JCPDS 34-0379 card. The oxide formation was examined using FTIR technique. UV-Visible spectroscopy has been used to study the optical band gap of material, it's value in the current case, Sr_1-xAl₂O₄:Eu_x (x = 0.05) is 3.78 eV. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), confirm the formation of nano
