| Summary: | Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of natural Cr3+ doped MgAl2O4 spinel from Tanzania were taken during its order-disorder transition (ODT) process. Samples were changed their disordered degree by quenching treatment. PL spectra were taken at the liquid nitrogen (LN) temperature (∼77 K) using a 532 nm laser excitation. Spectra from different states were compared with each other and R-line and N-line ratio was used to illustrate the disordered degree of spinel during ODT process. It can be used as a reference for other similar researches, such as spinel PL characterization of the other members of this group, ordered degree of synthetic spinel single crystal or ceramics materials, thermal history of spinel, and non-destructive identification of natural and heated spinel gemstones, spinel original distinguishing, further PL spectra analysis and XRD relationship research.
