$SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Ce_x{^{3+}}$,$Eu_{0.01}{^{2+}}$ phosphors were synthesized through a combustion process and their optical properties were investigated using time-resolved photoluminescence. A PL spectrum showed two dominant peaks which appeared at 300 and 410 nm. It is seen that, as the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration increases, the intensity of 300 nm decreases and the intensity of 410 nm increases. This behavior has been explained by two independent energy transfer mechanism. The first energy transfer occurs from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Eu^{3+}$ ion. The second energy transfer takes place from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Ce^{3+}-O_{ME}$ complex created in the magnetoplumbite structural host materials. The blue emitting 410 nm peak has been explained by both energy transfer mechanisms.

The formation and thermal properties of the $BaO_2$ and $TiO_2$ mixtures were prepared by mechanical alloying method was investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The rotating speed of 750 rpm shows more effects on the formation of $BaTiO_3$ single phase. The internal strain calculated using Williamson-Hall method was $4.27{\times}10^{-3}$ for the mixture milled for 300 min, the crystallite size was calculated using the Scherrer method decreased with milling time. The $BaTiO_3$ crystal improved crystallinity was formed by thermal annealing at a temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h for the mixture milled for 300 min.

The blue-color emitting phosphor powder, $CaMgSi_{2}O_6:Eu^{2+}(CMS:Eu^{2+})$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized powder was annealed from room temperature to $1,100^{\circ}C$ in air. Its PL property and valence state of Eu atoms was measured by the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers, respectively. The PL intensity was stable to $700^{\circ}C$, but drastically decreased to $1,100^{\circ}C$. The behavior of EPR intensity was very similar to the PL intensity. The EPR measurement showed that decreased intensity of the PL was caused to the oxidation from the ion $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The EPR spectrometer was powerful as a tool that could distinguish between the valence states of Eu atom as a dopant in various phosphors.

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.

최근에 고효율의 적색 형광체를 합성하여 형광 램프, 음극선관, X-선 검출기, 전계 발광 디스플레이에 응용하기 위하여 다양한 모체 결정과 활성체를 도핑하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $GdNbO_4$ 모체 결정에 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온 활성체를 주입하여 합성함으로써 새로운 적색 형광체의 발광 세기와 입자의 형상을 최적화 시키고자 한다. 형광체 분말 시료의 제조는 Eu의 함량을 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 초기 물질 Gd2O3 (99.99%), $Nb_2O_5$ (99.99%), $Eu_2O_3$ (99.9%)를 화학 적량으로 측량하고 에탄올과 ZrO2 볼과 함께 플라스틱 병에 넣어 400 rpm의 속도로 24시간 볼밀 작업을 수행한 후에, 혼합된 분말의 볼을 걸러내고 60$^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 동안 건조하였다. 건조된 시료를 막자 사발에 넣고 잘게 갈아서 체로 걸러낸 다음에 세라믹 도가니에 넣고 전기로에서 분당 5$^{\circ}C$씩 승온하여 500$^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 동안 1차 하소한 후에, 계속 온도를 승온시켜 1,200$^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 소결하여 합성하였다. XRD 회절 패턴의 경우에, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량에 관계없이 모든 세라믹은 JCPDS (22-1104)에 제시된 회절상과 일치하는 사방정계의 결정 구조를 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 주 피크는 28.4$^{\circ}$에서 최대값을 갖는 (121)면에서 발생하는 회절 신호이었다(Fig. 1). 적색 형광체 분말의 광학 및 표면 특성은 PL, PLE와 SEM으로 조사되었으며, 세라믹 분말의 형광 특성과 결정 구조, 표면 형상에 대한 자세한 논의가 제시될 것이다.

Eu(III)-doped $CeO_2$ nanorods were prepared by a co-precipitation method at room temperature, and their photoluminescence profiles were examined with different Eu(III)-doping concentrations and thermal annealing temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy were employed to examine the morphology, crystal structure and photon absorption profiles of the nanorods, respectively. Additionally, their 2D and 3D-photoluminescence profile maps were obtained to fully understand the photoluminescence mechanism. We found that the magnetic dipole $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_1$ and the electric dipole $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ transitions of Eu(III) were highly dependent on the doping concentration, annealing temperature and excitation wavelength, which was explained by the presence of different Eu(III)-doping sites (with and without an inversion center) in the $CeO_2$ host with a cubic crystal structure.

The 7F0→5D0excitation spectra of Eu(Ⅲ) complexed with polyfunctional monocarboxylic acid(glycolic acid, glycine and thioglycolic acid) containing a terminal O, N and S neutral donors and propionic acid were investigated using Eu(Ⅲ) luminescence spectroscopy. In the excitation spectra of Eu(Ⅲ)-propionate system, the stepwise appearance of the peaks was observed at 579.0, 579.2 and 579.5 nm with increasing in the ligand-to-metal ratio, which correspond to the formation of Eu(propionate)2+, Eu(propionate)2+ and Eu(propionate)3 species. Three maximum peaks were also obtained for Eu(Ⅲ)-glycolate, Eu(Ⅲ)-glycinate and Eu(Ⅲ)-thioglycolate systems and were found to be quite similar to those of Eu(Ⅲ)-propionate system. The q values (number of coordinated water molecules of Eu(Ⅲ) ion) obtained from the luminescence decay constants of Eu(Ⅲ)-glycolate and Eu(Ⅲ)-thioglycolate were 7.0 and 7.1, and compare well with 7.3 for Eu(Ⅲ)-propionate: Each ligand units replace around two coordinated water molecules. These results show that the polyfunctional monocarboxylates behaves like the propionate for Eu(Ⅲ) ion coordination.

In order to develop new yellow phosphor that emit efficiently under the 450 - 470 nm excitation range, we have synthesized a $Eu^{2+}$-activated $Sr_3SiO_5$ yellow phosphor and investigated an attempt to develop white LEDs by combining it with a InGaN blue LED chip (460 nm). Two distinct emission bands from the InGaN-based LED and the $Sr_3SiO_5$:Eu phosphor are clearly observed at 460 nm and at 570 nm, respectively. These two emission bands combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. Our results showed that InGaN (460 nm chip)-based $Sr_3SiO_5$:Eu exhibits a better luminous efficiency than that of the industrially available product InGaN (460 nm chip)-based YAG:Ce.

Trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}=Eu^{3+}\;and\;Tb^{3+}$) ions activated $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel process. After annealing at $1,500^{\circ}C$, the XRD patterns of the phosphor confirmed their monoclinic structure. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ doped $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphor shows the broad-band excitations in the shorter wavelength region due to charge transfer band of completely filled $O^{2-}$ to the partially filled $Eu^{3+}$ ions and f-d transitions of $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra show that the reddish-orange ions and green emission for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. Owing to the importance of thermal quenching property in the technological parameters, the temperature-dependent luminescence properties of these phosphors were measured for examing the suitability of their applications in the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition to those measurements, the cathodoluminescence properties were examined by changing the acceleration voltage and filament current. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of these phosphors were close proximity to those of commercially available phosphors for LED and field emission display devices.
