Several complementary methods (i.e. powder x-ray diffraction (XRPD), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)) were studied to examine the effects of the synthesis procedure on the morphology and structure. XRD analyses revealed that all compounds include yttrium aluminate phase with garnet structure. Cathodoluminescence (CL), radioluminescence (RL) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out for clarification of relationship between host lattice defects and the spectral luminescence emissions. Luminescence emission of phosphors is peaked at 530 nm assigned to 5d-4f transitions of the dopant Ce3+ ions with a broad emission band in 400-700 nm range. Under electron irradiation, the emission spectrum of Ce doped (YGd)3Ga2Al3O12 is well defined and has a characteristic fairly narrow and sharp emission band peaking at 312 nm and 624 nm corresponding to transition of 6P7/2 →8S7/2 and 6GJ→6PJ (Gd3+), respectively. We suggest some of phosphors might be excellent phototherapy phosphor materials under electron excitation. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.EnglishAluminumDoping (additives)Electron irradiationEmission spectroscopyFourier transform infrared spectroscopyFourier transformsGarnetsHigh temperature applicationsInfrared spectroscopyLight emissionLuminescencePhosphorsPraseodymium compoundsRare earthsScanning electron microscopySolid state reactionsX ray diffractionYttriumYttrium compoundsceriumchemical compoundgarnetunclassified drugEnergy dispersive analysis of X-raysFourier transforms infrared spectroscopiesFTIRLuminescence emissionMorphology and structuresPhotoluminescence measurementsPowder X ray diffractionYttrium aluminatesArticlecathodoluminescencechemical structurecontrolled studyelectron radiationinfrared spectroscopyluminescencephotoluminescencepriority journalradioluminescencescanning electron microscopyspectroscopyX rayX ray diffractionYttrium alloysArticle10.1016/j.apradiso.2016.05.021
