A series of samples in the $Eu_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$ system has been prepared by heating the proper amount of reactant mixture to 1150$^{\circ}C$ under an ambient atmosphere, and the solid solutions are identified by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The crystal system of samples for the compositions of x=0.00 and 0.25 are found to be orthorhombic whose local symmetry is similiar to the distorted octahedra with orthoferrite type one, whereas those of x=0.50 and 0.75 to be the cubic system, and that of x=1.00 to the orthorhombic similiar to be the brownmillerite type. The amount of $Co^{4+}$ ion (${\tau}$ value) is maximized at the composition of x=0.50, and the oxygen vacancies increase with the x value. The nonstoichiometric chemical formula of each compound could be determined from the mole ratio of $Co^{4+}$ ion and oxygen vacancies. The $Co^{3+}$ ion located in octahedral site has spin transition from low spin to high spin states with increasing temperature. Therefore, the effective magnetic moment of each samples obtained from the magnetic measurement is increased with the increasing temperature. The $EuCoO_{3.00}$ has strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the neighboring $Co^{3+}$ ions through the intermediate oxygen ions. With the increasing ${\tau}$ value, the absolute {\theta}_p$ value is decreased by the ferromagnetic interaction of $Co^{3+}-O^2-Co^{4+}$ and thus the {\theta}_p$ has positive value at x=0.50.

The electronic structures of 3d and 4d core-levels of rare-earth atoms in the insulating rare-earth (Sm, Eu, Gd, and Tb) compounds were studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). It is shown that the intrinsic satellite structure due to the hybridization disappears for chemically stable-earth trivalent heavy rare-earth insulating compounds as the hybridization between f electrons of rare-earth atoms and p electrons of anion atoms decreases due to the lanthanide contraction. Eu atoms at the surface of the stable insulating trivalent Eu compounds are found to be divalent. The satellite peak of Eu 3d core-level spectra at about 10eV higher binding energy side relative the main peak comes from the multiplet structures of $\underline{3d}4f^6$ configuration. The satellite structure appearing at about 15 eV higher binding energy side relative to the main peak in all insulating rare-earth compounds is due to an energy loss process of creating a plasmon.

Green $BaSi_2O_2N_2:0.02Eu^{2+}$ phosphor is synthesized through a two-step solid state reaction method. The first firing is for crystallization, and the second firing is for reduction of $Eu^{3+}$ into $Eu^{2+}$ and growth of crystal grains. By thermal analysis, the three-time endothermic reaction is confirmed: pyrolysis reaction of $BaCO_3$ at $900^{\circ}C$ and phase transitions at $1,300^{\circ}C$ and $1,400^{\circ}C$. By structural analysis, it is confirmed that single phase [$BaSi_2O_2N_2$] is obtained with Cmcm space group of orthorhombic structure. After the first firing the morphology is rod-like type and, after the second firing, the morphology becomes round. Our phosphor shows a green emission with a peak position of 495 nm and a peak width of 32 nm due to the $4f^65d^1{\rightarrow}4f^7$ transition of $Eu^{2+}$ ion. An LED package (chip size $5.6{\times}3.0mm$) is fabricated with a mixture of our green $BaSi_2O_2N_2$, and yellow $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ and red $Sr_2Si_5N_8$ phosphors. The color rendering index (90) is higher than that of the mixture without our green phosphor (82), which indicates that this is an excellent green candidate for white LEDs with a deluxe color rendering index.

We report here results of a study of superconductivity in the ($Ta_{1-x} Sn_x)Sr_2EuCu_2O_z$ system. We observe resistive superconducting transitions for the samples with x = 0.15-0.3, and the highest superconducting transition has been achieved for the sample with x = 0.2 which reveals onset $T_c$ of 43 K and zero-resistivity of 25 K. Thermoelectric power measurements indicate that Sn doping introduces holes into the system and thereby superconductivity can be achieved in the ($Ta_{1-x} Sn_x)Sr_2EuCu_2O_z$ system.

$Eu^{3+}$-activated $R_3GaO_6$ (R = Y, Gd) phosphors were prepared in a conventional solid-state reaction and their optical properties were investigated. These compounds exhibit strong red emission under light excitation at 254 nm. The emission spectra are dominated by peaks appearing around 610-630 nm that are induced by the electric dipole transition of $^5D_0\;{\rightarrow}\;^7F_2$ of $Eu^{3+}$. In addition, the appropriate CIE (Commission Internationale de l'clairage) chromaticity coordinates, (x = 0.656, y = 0.336) for $Y_3GaO_6$ and (x = 0.655, y = 0.334) for $Gd_3GaO_6$, become closer to the NTSC (National Television System Committee) standard values. With the optimized activator concentrations, the maximum emission brightness is approximately 80% of $Y_2O_3$:$Eu^{3+}$ typical red-emitting phosphor with improved color purity under an excitation condition of 254 nm.

High $T_c$, superconductor $(Y_{1-x}Eu_x)Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were prepared and the physical properties were observed. XRD analysis showed that the structures of all the specimen were orthorhombic and the lattice parameters a, b and c increased with the increasing x value. Electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements revealed that pure high $T_c$, superconducting phases were formed at above 90 K. The critical temperatures increased with increasing the amount of Eu. From the measurement of magnetization and the size of the grains using SEM micrographs, volume diamagnetic susceptibilities for each specimen were calculated. These values decreased with the increasing x value. The composition of Ba in the lattice site decreased as the concentration of Eu increased, and this was confirmed by EPMA. It was found out that the volume diamagnetic susceptibility of each specimen was directly influenced by the composition of Ba in the lattice site.

Three isostructural lanthanide coordination polymers, $[Ln(L)_3(H_2O)_2](H_2O)_3$ {Ln = Eu (1), Tb (2), Gd (3); L = $trans$-3-(3-pyridyl)acrylate, (3-py)-CH=CH-COO}, were prepared from HL, lanthanide nitrate, and NaOH in $H_2O$ by microwave heating. In all coordination polymers, the metal is bonded to eight oxygen atoms, and all pyridyl nitrogen atoms do not coordinate to the metals. All polymers have a 1-D loop-connected chain structure. The hydrogen atoms in the aqua ligands and lattice water molecules all participate in the hydrogen bonds of the O-$H{\cdots}O$ or O-$H{\cdots}N$ type. The hydrogen bonds connect the 1-D chains to create a 2-D network. Polymer 1 exhibited red luminescence in the solid state at room temperature.

[ $Eu^{2+}$ ]-activated barium magnesium silicate phosphor, $(Ba,Ca)_{3}MgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu_{x}$, has been known to emit blue-green light. In this study we report the manufacturing processes for producing either pure green or pure blue light-emitting phosphor from the same composition of $Ba_{2-x}Ca_{2}CaMgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu_{x}$ (0 < x < 1) by controlling heat treatment conditions. Green light emitting phosphor of $Ba_{1.9}CaMgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu_{0.1}$ can be produced under the sample preparation condition of highly reducing atmosphere of $23\%\;H_2/77\%\;N_2$, while blue or blue-green light emitting phosphor under reducing atmosphere of $5\~20\%\;H_2\;/\;95\~80\%$ N_2. The green light-emitting phosphors are prepared in two steps: firing at $800\~1000^{\circ}C$ for $2\~5$ h in air then at $1100\~1350^{\circ}C$ for 2-5 h under reducing atmo­sphere $23\%$ $H_2/77\%\;N_2$. The excitation spectrum of the green light-emitting phosphor shows a broadband of $300\~410$ nm. The emission spectrum has a maximum intensity at the wavelength of about 501 nm. The CIE value of green light emission is (0.162, 0.528). The pure blue light-emitting phosphors can be produced using the $Ba{2_x}CaMgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu_{x}$ by introducing additional firing step at $1150\~1300^{\circ}C$ in air before the final reducing treatment. The XRD analysis shows that the green light-emitting phosphor mainly consisted of $Ba_{1.31}Ca_{0.69}SiO_{4}$ (JCPDS $\#$ 36-1449) and other minor phases i.e., $MgSiO_3$ (JCPDS $\#$ 22-0714) and $Ca_{2}BaMgSi_{2}O_{8}$ (JCPDS $\#$ 31-0128). The blue light-emitting phosphor mainly consisted of $Ca_{2}BaMgSi_{2}O_{8}$ phase.

We have conducted two kinds of the so-called charge-compensated aliovalent element substitutions to control the photoluminescence properties of $NaAlSiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ with a special focus on the enhancement of the excitation intensity at 400 nm. The aliovalent element substitutions include cation-cation and cation-anion co-substitutions according to the general formulas $Na_{1-x}M_xAl_{1+x}Si_{1-x}O_4:Eu^{2+}$ and $Na_{1-x}M_xAlSiO_{4-x}N_x:Eu^{2+}$ (M = $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Sr^{2+}$), respectively. The increase in the relative excitation intensity at 400 nm has been achieved in both types of the co-substitutions. Thus, the present research has demonstrated the effectiveness of the charge-compensated element substitution.
