Abstract

Green phosphor strontium aluminate activated by Eu2+ and Dy3+, SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ powder was synthesized by solid-state reaction by firing at 1250 °C in a graphite crucible. The glow glaze was produced by a combination of SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ powder with transparent glaze. Characteristics of the phosphor powders and the posttreated particles such as crystallinity and luminescent properties were investigated. Observation of the glowing intensity and luminescent properties of the glow glaze showed the dependency on particle size and refiring temperatures. Proper interaction between phosphor/glaze interfaces depends upon the firing process and nature of the SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor powders.
