Popis: Herein, CTAB surfactant aided hydrothermal reaction was carried for preparing Cr3+ doped ZnGa2O4. Urea was used as fuel to continue the reaction. By fixing Cr3+ ions conc. to 0.5 mol%, the molar ratio of CTAB was varied. We used XRD, TEM, FTIR, PL, UV-VIS spectroscopy, decay kinetics, and afterglow decay experiments to characterize the samples. XRD data suggested a cubic phase matching with JCPDS card no. 00-038-1240. TEM images confirmed the formation of nanoparticles within the range 20-80 nm. The estimated band gap was around 4.8 eV. Excited by 227 nm UV lights elaborated a wide emission band extended from 600 to 800 nm and peaking at 696 nm. The afterglow decay curve showed a long persistent signal up to 1 hour after ceasing offthe excitation source.
