Luminescence Properties of Europium Doped Yttrium Oxide Nanophosphor

In the present book luminescence properties of pure and europium doped Yttrium oxide nanophosphor were studies. We use combustion synthesis to prepare pure and europium doped Yttrium oxide. The resulting pure and europium doped Yttrium oxide was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, and studies its luminescence properties. Thermoluminescence study was carried out for the phosphor with UV irradiation with linear heating rate 3 C s-1. The kinetic parameters were calculated by Chen¿s Empirical Method and Half-Width Method. The ML study of rare earth nanophosphor suggest the ML appears in their elastic, plastic as well as in fracture region. ML data records with different UV exposure.
