Alkaline earth aluminosilicate single phase glass ceramics doped with rare earth (Eu3+) were successfully prepared, from the BaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO3 glass system, by high temperature melt-quenching following by a heat treatment process to explore red phosphor materials for potential application in solid state lighting devices. It is experimentally verified that the BaAl2Si2O8 crystallites formed as a single crystalline phase after glass crystallization at temperature exceed 950°C. Participation of Eu3+ suppressed nucleation and growth rate of the BaAl2Si2O8 crystallites. Random distributions of approximately spherical shape crystallites are clearly seen in both glass ceramics with and without Eu3+ addition. PL spectra obtained from the glass ceramics with different treatment temperatures are not significantly different. Five distinguished emission peaks, located at 576, 589, 612, 649 and 701 nm, associating to transition emission between electronics states of the Eu3+ are identified. This provides strong red emission glass ceramic with the probable application as a red phosphor material.
