THE LUMINESCENCE AND THERMOLUMINESCENCE STUDIES OF Nd3+ DOPED Sr2SiO4

Abstract

Sr2SiO4:%3Nd3+ was synthesized and its structural characterization was made via XRD technique. The results indicated that Sr2SiO4:%3Nd3+ had Pmma (62) space group (PDF: 00-039-1256) in the orthorhombic crystal system. Luminescence and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of Sr2SiO4:%3Nd3 was investigated in detail. Computerized glow curve deconvolution methods was used for to determine the kinetic properties of Sr2SiO4:%3Nd3+. The TL results showed that Sr2SiO4:Nd3+ consisted of seven TL glow peaks.
