An intense broad blue photoluminescence (PL), corresponding to the electronic transition of Eu from the 4f 5d excited state to the 4f ground state, is observed. The blue-shift and enhanced photoluminescence is 7 also observed, and found to be highly dependent on the size of diameter of BaMgAl10O17:Eu 2+ 2+ 6 nanostructures. The change in decay time and color-coordinates with change in size of diameter of BaMgAl10O17:Eu nanostructure have 2+ been analysed and thoroughly discussed. Keywords: Quantum Confinement Effect, Nanophosphor, PDPs 1. Introduction effects on both radiative and non-radiative electronic transitions in nanocrystals. The principal consequences of quantum confinement are an increase in the band gap energy, and an
