Resumen
Inorganic compounds doped with rare earths (Ce3+ Pr3+ Nd3+ Sm3+ Eu3+ Gd3+ Tb3+ Tm3+) have been used in various applications including light-emitting devices such as fluorescent lamps, cathode ray tubes, lasers and inorganic pigments. In this study, Pr3+ is doped in spinel Li2ZnTi3O8 system and synthesized by the polymeric precursor method, which is based on the process developed by the Pechini, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible and CIE-L colorimetric measures ∗a∗b∗., in order to study the effect of doping and thermal treatment on its colorimetric properties. With three different samples of Pr3+ doping (0.01; 0.05 and 0.1 mol%) were prepared and calcined at 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C and 900°C for 4 h. The analysis of X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of pure phases with spinel structure and average crystallite size of less than 46 nm. It was found that the colorimetric properties ranging from green to red, in accordance with the increase in the concentration of Pr3+ and thermal processing temperature.
