Structural and Optical Properties of Porous Anodic Alumina Annealed at Different Temperatures
Abstract: We report the structural and optical properties of porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes synthesized using anodization technique, which were subsequently annealed at various temperatures up to 1000°C. The influence of annealing temperature on the structural aspects and photoluminescence (PL) properties of PAA was investigated. XRD analysis of the PAA confirmed the amorphous nature of the synthesized PAA membranes. The structural transition of the annealed templates from amorphous to ɣ-Al2O3 was …

Synthesis and Characterization of Strontium Aluminate Nanophosphors
Abstract: Monoclinic SrAl4O7 nanophosphors with different weight percentage of aluminium were synthesized by low temperature sol-gel method. The morphology, composition and structure of the synthesized phosphors were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), photoluminescence emission spectra (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. It was found that PL emission was obtained at 395, 520, and 790 nm corresponding to blue, green and IR region of the spectrum, respectively. …
