Novel Sr-Y-Si-Oxynitride yellow phosphors were synthesized and the effect of calcination temperature, reduction temperature and $Eu^{2+}$ concentration on their luminescence properties were studied. Optimal temperature conditions were found to be $1400^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ for solid-state reaction and reduction, respectively. The synthesized $Ba_9Y_{2+y}Si_6O_{24-3y}N_{3y}:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors showed a single intense broadband emission in the range of 571~587 nm for 450 nm excitation light source. The highest luminescence intensity was obtained with Eu concentration of 3 mol% and concentration quenching was observed beyond 5 mol%. FE-SEM and PSA showed that the synthesized phosphors consists of particles with an average size of ${\sim}8.2{\mu}m$.

Colored tantalum oxy-nitride (TaON) and tantalum nitride ($Ta_{3}N_{5}$) were synthesized by ammonolysis. Oxygen deficient tantalum oxides ($TaO_{1.7}$) were produced by a titration process, using a tantalum chloride ($TaCl_5$) precursor. The stirring speed and the amount of $NH_{4}OH$ were important factors for controling the crystallinity of tantalum oxides. The high crystallinity of tantalum oxides improved the degree of nitridation which was related to the color value. Synthesized powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and Colorimeter.

$\beta$-Sialon is synthesized by carbo-thermal reduction and nitriding (CTRN) method, using the Fly ash from power plant. $\beta$-Siaion is synthesized at $1,450^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours, and sintered at $1,550 ^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours in nitrogen atmosphere. The XRD analytical results show that the sintered $\beta$-Sialon contains $SiO_2$ and $FeSi_{x}$ of inter-metallic compound. The sintered $\beta$-Sialon is stable against the oxidation at the temperature of 1,31$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours. The weight of the sample increases rapidly by oxidation reaction at $1,360^{\circ}C$. The oxide scale is consisted with mullite phase when it is oxidized at the temperature of $1,360 ^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours.

Oxynitride green phosphors for white light emitting diodes (LEDs) were synthesized and their optical properties were evaluated. The N/O ratio ($\delta$) of $SrSi_2O_{2-{\delta}}N_{2+2/3{\delta}}:Eu^{2+}$ closely depended on the synthesizing conditions. The most excellent green emission (545 nm), which was assigned to the $5d{\rightarrow}4f$ transition of $Eu^{2+}$ ions, was achieved at the conditions of $1700^{\circ}C$, 5 mol% $Eu^{2+}$, and $H_2$ atmosphere. The well-developed $Ca-{\alpha}-SiAlON:Yb^{2+}$ particles with homogeneous size were obtained at m = 3 (n = 0.15) for the compound of $Ca_{0.5m-0.005}Yb_{0.005}Si_{12-(m+n)}Al_{m+n}O_nN_{16-n}$, resulting in the strong green emission at around 550 nm.
