In the Nineteenth century the traditional sulphide based phosphor has improved greatly but they applied only in some commercial fields because the sulphide series phosphors are very poor stability. The long afterglow property and brightness is not good enough. That is the reason the researcher is trying to the research on the other phosphors. The researcher got the aluminate based phosphors at ...

In this investigation, Eu3+ doped YVO4 /YBO3 phosphors were synthesized individually by conventional solid state method at 1100 °C under atmosphere condition. Meanwhile, different amounts of LiClwere used as the flux compound to modify the morphology of the phosphor particles and also final luminescence properties. It was concluded that even small amounts of fluxes play a vital role in the grow...

Organic phosphors have demanded the attention of the organic electroluminescence community because they enable ef®ciencies quadruple that of ̄uorescent materials. In this work, we review the categories of organic phosphors: lanthanide complexes, organic phosphors and metal-organic complexes. The characteristics necessary for ef®cient phosphorescence are considered and conclusions are drawn as t...

The aim of the study is to improve removal of trace organic contaminants dissolved in activated sludge by the process of filtration with membrane bioreactor combined with modified activated carbon, for a maximum removal of organic compounds characterized by low molecular weight. Special treatment was conducted in laboratory on activated carbon. Tow reaction parameters: the pH of aqueous middle ...

Spherical phosphors BaWO4 doped with rare-earth ions (RE = Eu, Tb, Tm) were prepared by the polyol method. The crystal structure and morphology of the powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy. The as-prepared BaWO4-based phosphors processed as low as 160 oC show mono-dispersive and highly crystalline nanost...

Recent advances in the design of photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plates for computed radiography (CR) systems have made it possible to manufacture plates made of BaFI:Eu phosphor material in the cassette form. The image quality of this plate, six BaF(Br,I):Eu plates, and one BaFBr:Eu plate were evaluated in terms of presampling modulation transfer function (MTF), normalized Wiener spectra (WSN),...

We report methodological advances that enhance the phosphorescence efficiency of a blue-emitting calcium aluminate phosphor (CaAl2O4: Eu2+, Nd3+). The investigation of long-persistence blue-emitting phosphors is highly desirable due to their promising applications, such as white LEDs; however, the development of highly efficient blue-emitting phosphors is still challenging. Here, we have quanti...

Scatter-free phosphors promise to suppress the scattering loss of conventional micro-size powder phosphors in white phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). Large micro-size cube phosphors (~100 μm) are newly designed and prepared as scatter-free phosphors, combining the two scatter-free conditions of particles based on Mie's scattering theory; the grain size or grain boundary was sm...

Using a simple combustion process, rare earth doped novel compounds like fluorides LiBF4 and Li3BF6 can be prepared. Combustion synthesis furnishes a quick method for preparation of these phosphors. The prepared phosphors were characterized by the photoluminescence (PL) techniques. It is suggested that borofluoride based materials can be developed as low-cost phosphors. Formation of single phas...

A significant improvement ~220%! is reported in the low voltage ~2000 V! aging characteristics under cathodoluminescence ~CL! excitation for ZnS phosphors coated with 1.0 wt % SiO2 by the sol-gel technique. The formation of nanoscale uniform coating was confirmed by structural analysis. An improvement in chemical and thermal stability was also confirmed by chemical etching and heat-treatment of...
