Deep red color emitting $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were investigated in an attempt to achieve promising performances in cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) applications. For this purpose, several additives such as LiF, $Li_2CO_3$ and $HBO_3$ were introduced in the processing. While two of the additives were ineffective, the inclusion of $LiCO_3$ during the solid state synthesis of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was proven to enhance photoluminescent intensity and the color chromaticity. Unlike the commercially available $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphor for use in PDP applications, pure $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ excluding phosphorous was shown to be favorable for CCFL applications, improving color chromaticity at 254nm excitations.

$YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ thin film phosphor samples have been deposited by using RF magnetron sputter deposition technique with various deposition temperatures. The Effect of deposition temperature (room temperature to $450\;^{\circ}C$) on morphological, crystal structure, and luminescence properties of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ thin film phosphor has also been investigated. As the deposition temperature increases, the size of crystal grain and surface roughness of thin film increases principally and its crystallinity also increases. It is found that the asdeposited $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ thin film excited either photon or electron shows typical luminescence spectra successfully. CIE color coordinates of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ thin film phosphor with increasing deposition temperature moved towards more reddish region.

The effect of doping Gd, La for Y into $YVO_{4}:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphor on its photoluminescence(PL) intensity has been investigated. $YVO_{4}:$Eu-based phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction at temperature above $1200^{\circ}C$. Under UV excitation(254, 365 nm), it was measured that $YVO_{4}:Eu^{3+}$ was superior to a commercial red phosphor (Y,Gd)$BO_{3}:Eu^{3+}$ in terms of PL intensity and CIE color coordinates. When La, Gd were doped into $YVO_{4}:Eu^{3+}$, the change in the structure of the host material was observed. In result, when the ($Y{1_x}La_{x})VO_{4}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were excited by 365 nm excitation, its PL intensity was improved up to about 30 % for the case of x being $0.4{\sim}0.6$.

본 연구에서는 자외선 영역에서 우수한 발광강도를 가지는 적색 형광체를 얻기 위하여 microwave 급속 열처리법으로 합성하여 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Bi^{3+}$가 도핑된 $YVO_4$의 발광특성을 관찰하였다. Microwave 급속 열처리시 입자의 크기는 매우 미세하며, 응집이 매우 심하였으나 열처리 유지시간이 증가할수록 입자 크기는 증가하고 응집현상은 개선되는 경향을 나타내었다. $YVO_4$: $Eu^{3+}$, $Bi^{3+}$ 적색 형광체의 발광 peak는 $Eu^{3+}$ ion의 영향에 의해 594.9 nm와 602.3 nm에서 $^5D_0{\longrightarrow}^7F_1$ 전자 천이에 의한 약한 발광 peak와 616.7 nm와 620.0 nm에서 $^5D_0{\longrightarrow}^7F_2$ 전자 천이에 의한 강한 발광 peak이 관찰 되었다. Microwave 급속 열처리법을 형광체 합성시 장시간 열처리 시간이 필요하지 않으면서 균일한 activator의 확산으로 인하여 발광특성을 향상시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Europium doped yttrium vanadate ($YVO_4$:Eu) phosphor thin films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on silicon substrate. The structural characterization carried out on a series of ($YVO_4$:Eu films at post annealing temperature in the range of 550 $^{\circ}C$-1150 $^{\circ}C$ indicating that films were preferentially (200) oriented at post annealing temperature above 950 $^{\circ}C.$ Photoluminescence of thin film increased with the increase of post annealing temperature and ambient oxygen pressure though the thin film has the powder-like surface morphology at oxygen pressure above 200 mTorr. Photoluminescence decay from $^5D_1$ level of $Eu^{3+}$ show the great concentration dependency, which can be used as a good parameter to control the composition of ($YVO_4$:Eu thin film.

We have synthesized $Eu^{3+}$-doped $YVO_4$ phosphors by using a hydrothermal method and investigated their luminescent properties. Aqueous solutions of $Y_2O_3,\;V_2O_5,\;Eu_2O_3$, and nitric acid with various pH values were used as the precursors. The crystallinity, surface condition, and emission characteristics were examined using XRD, FT-IR, and photo-excited spectrometer. $Eu^{3+}$ incorporation followed by the efficient red emission strongly depends on the acidity of solution media. The emission intensity becomes stronger as the pH values increase to 7 and then gradually decreases. This phenomenon might be related to the hydroxyl quenching effect, which is induced by surface bound OH-groups.

$Y_{1-x}VO_4:Eu_x^{3+}$ red phosphors were synthesized with changing the mol ratios of $Eu^{3+}$ ions by using the solid-state reaction method. The crystalline structure of phosphors was found to be a tetragonal system with the maximum diffraction intensity at $25.02^{\circ}$. The grain particles showed the truncated hexagonal patterns with a very homogeneous size distribution at 0.05 mol of $Eu^{3+}$ ion. The excitation spectra of the phosphor ceramics were composed of a broad band centered at 303 nm and weak narrow multilines peaked in the range of 360-420 nm. The dominant emission spectrum was the strong red emission centered at 619 nm due to the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ electric dipole transition. The experimental results suggest that the optimum doping mol ratio of $Eu^{3+}$ ions for preparing the red phosphors is 0.10 mol with the asymmetry ratio of 5.21.

Red-emitting $Eu^{3+}$-activated $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ (0 < x $\leq$ 0.12) nanophosphors with the particle size of ~30 nm and the high crystallinity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. In the synthetic process, deionized water as a solvent and ethylene glycol as a capping agent were used. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, and the photoluminescence properties of the excitation spectrum, emission intensity, color coordinates and decay time, of the prepared $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphors were compared with those of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$. Under 147 nm excitation, $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ nanophosphors showed strong red luminescence due to the $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ at 619 nm. The luminescence intensity of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ enhanced with partial substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ and the maximum emission intensity was accomplished at the $Al^{3+}$ content of 10 mol%. By the addition of $Al^{3+}$, decay time of the $(Y,Al)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor was decreased in comparison with that of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor. Also, the substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ invited the improvement of color coordinates due to the increase of R/O ratio in emission intensity. For the formation of transparent layer, the red nanophosphors were fabricated to the paste with ethyl celluloses, anhydrous terpineol, ethanol and deionized water. By screen printing method, a transparent red phosphor layer was formed onto a glass substrate from the paste. The transparent red phosphor layer exhibited the red emission at 619 nm under 147 nm excitation and the transmittance of ~80% at 600 nm.

Nanoscale $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor has been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal reaction at various experimental conditions. The particle and luminescent properties of nanophosphors were characterized with X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and photoluminescence. It has been found that pH value play a key factor both controlling particle size and luminous efficiency.
