5d→4f transition in halosulphate phosphors

The synthesis, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence characteristics in alkaline halosulphate phosphors, such as KZnSO4Cl:Ce; KMgSO4Cl:Ce; NaMgSO4F:Ce and Na3SO4F:Ce is reported in this paper. The Ce3+ emission in KMgSO4Cl:Ce phosphor is maximum and it may be useful for scintillation applications.
