Abstract

Europium-activated Ga$_2$O$_3$powders were prepared by modified "Pechini method" from mixed aqueous solutions of gallium nitrate, europium nitrate, ethylene glycol and citric acid. The formation process and structure of the phosphor powders were investigated by means of TG/DTA, XRD and SEM. It has been found that the phosphor powders were amorphous up to 50$0^{\circ}C$ and changed into crystalline $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$phase above $600^{\circ}C$. The resulting nano-sized powders were obtained. Red luminescence in emission spectra were observed at room temperature.
