This study demonstrates the use of phosphor-screen autoradiography as a means of measuring cell adhesion and cell expansion on polymer surfaces. The method has particular merit in cases where a specific substrate may be opaque or biochemically incompatible with colorimetric assay methodologies. With the phosphor-screen autoradiography method, there was a linear relationship between cell number ...

Owing to high quantum efficiency, adjustable composition and antioxidation properties of oxynitride phosphors, extensive investigations have focused on their photoluminescence properties under low-energy light excitation (UV or blue light). However, the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) luminescence properties of oxynitride phosphors are rarely researched. Present work studies the structure and VUV lumi...

Sr2SiO4:Eu phosphor for white light emitting diodes (LEDs) was synthesized by employing an as-prepared (Sr,Eu)CO3@SiO2 core-shell precursor as starting materials, and the effect of the core-shell precursor was also discussed on the crystal structure, particle morphology and luminescent properties of the resultant phosphor. The results showed that the hybrid βand α′-Sr2SiO4: Eu phosphor with fin...

An intense violet–blue emitting (CaCl2/SiO2) : Eu2+ phosphor with a composition of 25% CaCl2 and 75% SiO2 is prepared by a solid state reaction. The phosphor emits at 427 nm with a narrow bandwidth of 21 nm. The photoluminescence (PL) intensities and fluorescence lifetimes are studied as a function of Eu2+ concentrations. It is observed that the PL intensity of (CaCl2/SiO2) : Eu2+ can be 30% hi...

This paper reports on the enhanced photoluminescence (PL) of nanocomposites through the layered structuring of phosphor and quantum dot (QD). Green phosphor of Sr2SiO4:Eu, red QDs of CdSe/CdS/CdZnS/ZnS core-multishell, and thermo-curable resin were used for this study. Two kinds of composite (layered and mixed) were prepared, and the schemes for optical energy transfer between QD and phosphor w...

A single-chip white light LED is commonly modeled by considering the phosphor coating as a homogeneous Lambertian light source. However, this approach leads to an incorrect optical simulation of phosphor-coated multi-chip LEDs due to the presence of a previously unreported spatial distribution of emission spots across the phosphor layer. We introduce "weighting" factors based on position-depend...

The development of up-converting phosphor reporter particles has added a powerful tool to modern detection technologies. Carefully constructed phosphor reporters have core-shell structures with surface functional groups suitable for standard bio-conjugations. These reporters are chemically stable, possess the unique property of infrared up-conversion, and are readily detected. In contrast to co...

Gadolinium oxysulfide phosphor doped with trivalent terbium have been synthesized using urea homogenous precipitation and followed by sulfurization at 800 °C under argon atmosphere. Structural and morphological of synthesized phosphor powder were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Hexagonal structure ...
