By using metal nitrates and oxides as the starting materials, Y2Al5O12 (YAG) and YAG:Re3+ (Re = Ce, Sm, Th) powder phosphors were prepared by solid-state (SS), coprecipitation (CP) and citrate gel (CG) methods. The resulting YAG and YAG-based phosphors were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and photoluminescent excitation and emission spectra. The purified crystalline phases of YAG were obtained at 800 degreesC (CG) and 900 degreesC (CP, SS). At an identical annealing temperature and doping concentration, the doped rare-earth ions showed the stronger emission intensity in the CP- and SS-derived phosphors than the CG-derived YAG phosphors. The poor emission intensity for the CG-derived phosphors is mainly caused by the contamination of carbon impurities from citric acid in the starting materials. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
