Abstract

Trivalent gadolinium (Gd3+)-doped calcium zinc silicate (Ca2ZnSi2O7/hardystonite) with a molar composition of Ca2−xZnSi2O7:xGd3+ (x = 0.09 mol) was produced using a sol–gel system. The hardystonite was characterized using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that the prepared sample contained a tetragonal phase of Ca2ZnSi2O7. The vibrational structures of the sample were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements. The photoluminescence emission spectrum of the Ca1.91ZnSi2O7:0.09Gd3+ phosphor narrow band was optimized at 312 nm in the Ultraviolet-B region under excitation at 273 nm wavelength. Electron paramagnetic resonance study authenticates the presence of gadolinium (Gd) ions within the trivalent state in the Ca1.91ZnSi2O7:0.09Gd3+ host.
