In this paper, the fabrication and feasibility study of clinical application with euripium doped gadollium oxide ($Gd_2O_3$:Eu) nano phosphor derived by low-temperature solution combustion method. From the fabricated phosphor, the photoluminescent characteristic and linearity as a function of phosphor film thickness were investigated to evaluate x-ray converstion properties. From the experimental results, the luminescent intensity was $2945pC/cm^2$-mR at $270{\mu}m$ $Gd_2O_3$:Eu film and this value is higher 1.2 time the conventional bulk phosphor, which is possible to imaging acquisition. And good linearity was shown at x-ray exposure range for clinical diagnostic application.

The solubilities of different multicomponent lanthanide oxide (Ln₂O₃) solid solutions including binary (Ln₁ and Ln₂ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), ternary (Ln₁, Ln₂, and Ln₃ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), and higher systems (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) were studied after aging for four weeks at 60℃. Our recent study revealed that the phase transformations in binary ((La, Nd) and (La, Eu)) and ternary (La, Nd, Eu) systems are responsible for the formation of (La, Nd)(OH)₃, (La, Eu)(OH)₃, and (La, Nd, Eu)(OH)₃ solid solutions, respectively. The variations in the mole fractions of La³⁺, Nd³⁺, and Eu³⁺ in the sample solutions of these hydroxide solid solutions indicated that a thermodynamic equilibrium might account for the apparent La, Nd, and Eu solubilities. Conversely, the binary and ternary systems containing Tm₂O₃ as the heavy lanthanide oxide retained the oxide-based solid solutions, and their solubility behaviors were dominated by their congruent dissolutions. In the higher multicomponent system, the X-ray diffraction patterns of the solid phases, before and after contact with the aqueous phase indicated the formation of a stable oxide solid solution and their solubility behavior was explained by its congruent dissolution.

Rare-earth niobates, ag (Ln = Y, La, Gd) are well-known self-activated phosphors due to charge transfer in $NbO^{3-}_4$ showing a broad and strong emission band in the spectral region around 410 nm. In order to find new blue and red phosphors for FED, $LaNbO_4$ : X (X = Bi, Eu) phosphors are prepared through solid-state reactions at high temperature. The optimum reaction condition for these phosphors to give maximum emission intensity is obtained when it is first fired at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by second firing at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Under irradiation at 254 nm, $1mol\%\;Bi^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows strong blue emission band with a range of $420\~450nm$. Also $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows the maximum emission intensity at about 610 nm. Emission peaks at $415\~460nm$, $530\~560nm$and $570\~620nm$are observed in phosphors below $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$. Similar results are obtained in cathodoluminescent property of these phosphors.

In order to investigate the possibility of using mixed rare earth $(Nd_{1/3}Eu_{1/3}Gd_{1/3})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (NEG123) as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor, the NEG123 thin film was deposited epitaxialy on LAO(100) single crystal and IBAD_YSZ metal templates by pulsed laser deposition. Systematic studies were carried out to investigate the influences of deposition parameters of PLD on the micro structure, texture and superconducting properties of NEG-123 coated conductor. Deposition at oxygen partial pressure of 600 mTorr was needed to routinely obtain high quality NEG123 films with $J_c$'s (77K) over 2 MA/$cm^2$ and Tc's over 90K (${\Delta}T{\sim}2\;K$). We verified from magnetization study that the NEG123 has an improved in-field Jc as the field increases at temperatures between 10 K and 77 K compared with Gd123. The $J_c$ (77K, self field) and the value of onset $T_c$ of NEG123 thin film on LAO substrate was $4.0MA/cm^2$ and 92K, respectively. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of coated conductors with NEG123 film as the superconducting layer which have Ic and Jc over 40 A/cm-width and 1.6 MA/$cm^2$ at 77K, self field. This study shows the possibility of using NEG123 film as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor which can be used in high magnetic field power electric devices.

Ferroelectric lanthanides-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ $(Bi_{4-x}Ln_xTi_3O_{12}, BLnT)$ thin films approximately 200 nm in thickness were deposited by metal organic chemical vapor deposition onto Pt(111)/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates. Many researchers reported that the lanthanides substitution for Bi in the pseudo-perovskite layer caused the distortion of TiO$_6$ octahedron in the a-b plane accompanied with a shift of the octahedron along the a-axis. In this study, the effect of lanthanides (Ln=Pr, Eu, Gd, Dy)-substitution and crystallization temperature on their ferroelectric properties of bismuth titanate $(Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}, BIT)$ thin films were investigated. As BLnT thin films were substituted to lanthanide elements (Pr, Eu, Gd, Dy) with a smaller ionic radius, the remnant polarization (2P$_r$) values had a tendency to increase and made an exception of the Eu-substituted case because $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3O_{12}$ (BET) thin films had the smaller grain sizes than the others. In this study, we confirmed that better ferroelectric properties can be expected for films composed of larger grains in bismuth layered peroskite materials. The crystallinity of the thin films was improved and the average grain size increased as the crystallization temperature,increased from 600 to 720$^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the BLnT thin film capacitor is characterized by well-saturated polarization-electric field (P-E) curves with an increase in annealing temperature. The BLnT thin films exhibited no significant degradation of switching charge for at least up to $1.0\times10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz. From these results, we can suggest that the BLnT thin films are the suitable dielectric materials for ferroelectric random access memory applications.

최근에 고효율의 형광체를 개발하고자 무기물 모체에 주입된 희토류 이온의 발광에 대한 연구가 급부상하고 있다. 형광체는 고휘도, 넓은 시청 각도와 저 비용으로 인하여 대형 평판 디스플레이 분야로 그 응용성을 확장하는 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널 제작에 있어서 매우 중요한 물질이다. 현재 적색 형광체로 널리 사용되고 있는 발광 물질은 YBO3:Eu3+ 혹은 (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu3+ 형광체이지만, Eu3+ 이온이 중심대칭의 자리에 위치하기 때문에, Eu3+ 이온의 5D07F1 전이에 의한 주황색의 발광 세기가 5D07F2 전이에 의한 적색의 세기보다 강하여 고품질의 색상을 구현하는데 상당한 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 새로운 모체 격자를 갖는 적색, 녹색, 청색 형광체 개발에 많은 노력이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 형광체 합성시 중요한 변수의 하나인 소결 온도가 새로운 다양한 색을 방출하는 형광체 분말 CaSiO4:RE3+ (RE=Eu, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ce)의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. CaSiO4:RE3+ (RE=Eu, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ce) 형광체 분말 시료는 초기 물질 CaO (99.99%), SiO2 (99.99%), Eu2O3 (99.99%), Sm2O3 (99.9%), Tb4O7 (99.9%), Dy2O3 (99.9%), CeO2 (99.9%)을 화학적량으로 준비하였다. 볼밀, 건조 작업을 한 후에, 시료를 막자사발에 넣고 분쇄하여 3시간의 하소 공정과 5시간의 소결 공정을 수행하였다. 이때 소결 온도를 변수로 선택하여 각각 $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$, $1,000^{\circ}C$, $1,100^{\circ}C$에서 소결 작업을 수행하여 합성 분말의 구조, 표면, 광학적 특성을 측정하여 소결 온도가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Eu3+가 도핑된 CaSiO4 형광체 분말의 경우에, 발광 스펙트럼은 597, 618, 655, 707 nm에서 관측되었으며, 소결 온도가 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1,100^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 모든 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 순차적으로 증가함을 나타내었다. Tb3+가 도핑된 CaSiO4 형광체 분말의 경우에 관측된 발광 스펙트럼은 주 피크인 549 nm를 중심으로 하여 세기가 상대적으로 작은 493, 592, 626 nm의 피크들이 관측되었으며, 소결 온도가 증가함에 따라 전반적으로 발광 세기들이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. Sm3+가 도핑된 CaSiO4 형광체의 경우에, 발광 스펙트럼은 전형적인 Sm3+이온에 의한 전이 신호들이 605, 570, 653 nm에서 나타났다. 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 소결 온도에 비례하여 증가하였다. Ce3+가 도핑된 경우에 발광 스펙트럼은 소결 온도에 관계없이 401 nm에서 관측되었으며, 소결 온도에 따라 발광 세기의 변화가 나타났다. 이 실험 결과로 부터, 합성시 적절한 소결 온도의 선택이 고발광 효율의 형광체를 제작하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 요소가 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 Digital radiography(DR) 의 X선 필름 제작방식인 직 간접방식의 장점을 가지는 하이브리드 X선 필름를 수행하였다. 형광체로는 Gd2O3:Eu를 제작하였고, 광도전체로는 낮은 누설전류의 특성을 보이는 PbO를 사용하여 Screen printing 방식으로 100um, 200unm, 300um의 두께를 가진 X선 필름을 제작하였다. 그 결과 200un의 두께를 가진 하이브리드 X선 검출기의 Signal 10 noise 의 값이 기존의 사용화 되고 있는 a-Se 기반의 X선 필름보다 200 이상의 SNR을 얻을 수 있었다. 아직까지 기초 단계에 있는 하이브리드 X선 필름의 제작 방식은 향후 더 많은 연구를 통해 기존의 방식을 대체 할 수 있는 신기술, 신개념의 제조공정이 될 것으로 사료된다.

An evolutionary optimization process involving genetic algorithm and combinatorial chemistry was employed in an attempt to develop titanate-based red phosphors suitable for tri-color white light emitting diodes We screened a eight-cation oxide system including $(K,Li,Na)_x(Y,Gd,La,Eu)_yTi_zO_{\delta}$ in terms of luminescent efficiency. The combination of genetic algorithm and combinatorial chemistry was proven to enhance the searching efficiency when applied for phosphor screening. As a result, the composition was optimized to be $(Na_{0.92}Li_{0.08})(Y_{0.8}Gd_{0.2})TiO_4:Eu^{3+}$, The luminance of this phosphor was 110 % of that of well-known scheelite variant phosphor at an excitation of 400 nm.
