Abstract: A series of A Al 2 O 4 :Eu (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) phosphors was synthesized in bulk and powder forms, and their structural and photoluminescence properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that CaAl 2 O 4 :Eu and BaAl 2 O 4 :Eu exhibited monoclinic and hexagonal structure, respectively in bulk and powder forms. In contrast, the SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu powder exhibited a hexagonal structure, and the SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu bulk exhibited a monoclinic structure. Furthermore, structural changes were observed during the post-annealing process depending on the annealing temperature. Photoluminescence studies showed that the valence state of Eu ions could be effectively tuned by the annealing atmosphere and temperature, resulting in significant changes in the emission color. H 2 annealing reduced Eu3+ to Eu2+ in the selected samples, and the emission color, calculated using the CIE chromaticity coordinates, could be controlled from reddish violet to purple, red to green, and orange to sky blue. In particular, the luminescence behavior of the SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu powder depended on the annealing temperature, which was related to structural changes. These results demonstrate a strong relationship among the crystal structure, Eu valence state, and luminescence, highlighting that controlled thermal and atmospheric treatments provide an efficient strategy for tuning A Al 2 O 4 :Eu phosphors for solid-state lighting and phosphor applications.
