Nanophosphors have been extensively investigated during the last decade due to their various high-performance application potential such as lamp industry, radiation dosimetry, X-ray imaging and colour display. The synthesis of inorganic nanophosphors using both ionizing radiation (IR) or UV light represents very promising technological field. Alkaline earth nanophosphors gathered a lot of attention in past decades because they are considered to be excellent host materials. Transition-metal oxides are well known luminescent emitters in the visible spectral region. Mn2+ doped calcium-lithium hydroxyapatite (CLHA) nanophosphors were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. The prepared samples were characterized by photoluminescence studies. Photoluminescence spectra of Mn2+ doped CLHA nanophosphors exhibited green and strong orange emission bands at 534, 577 nm respectively under the excitation wavelength of 365 nm. The CIE chromaticity coordinates were also calculated from emission spectra for Mn2+ doped CLHA nanophosphors.
