A low temperature-assisted and oxalyl dihydrazide fuel-induced combustion synthesized series of uncalcined MgAl O :Eu nanophosphors showed an average crystallite size of ~20 nm, and bandgap energy (E ) of 4.50-5.15 eV, and were validated using density functional theory and found to match closely wit...
