Abstract
A new halosulphate phosphor NaMgSO₄F:Ce³⁺ and Na₃SO₄F:Ce³⁺ was synthesized by wet chemical method. The PL emission spectra of phosphors show strong Ce³⁺ emission due to the transition of Ce³⁺ ions. Ce³⁺ emission in new halosulphates NaMgSO₄F and Na₃SO₄F lattice may be useful for a scintillation application. XRD and photoluminescence (PL) characterization of phosphors has been reported in this paper.
