$Eu^{2+}$-doped $\beta$-SiAlONs ($Si_{6-z}Al_zO_zN_{8-z}:Eu_y$) are recognized as promising phosphor materials to build an white LED for lighting application due to its excellent absorption/emission efficiency in the long wave length region. In this research, the fabrication of $\beta$-SiAlON:Eu plate phosphor by sintering was investigated with fixed Eu content(y) and varied composition of the host lattice(z). The addition of the activator $Eu_2O_3$ lead to enhanced densification by forming the transient liquid phase. The refinement of a composition by the calculated lattice parameter indicated that the measured composition of the fabricated specimens is nearly same to that of designed one. The single phase $\beta$-SiAlON:Eu plate with relative density of 96.4% was achieved by addition of 2 wt% CaO, which implies the possibility of full densification by adjusting the processing variables.

$(Y,Gd)BO_3$: Eu, $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn and $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphors used in PDP were continuously irradiated by vacuum ultra violet generated from the penning gas (96%Ar+4%Xe) discharge and then the change of emitting intensity with time was investigated. The brightness of these phosphors decreased exponentially with VUV excitation time. The experimental data showed that the degradation rate increased in the order of $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn>(Y,Gd)$BO_3$: Eu>$BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphor. This different degradation property of phosphors was interpreted in terms of brightness saturation and stability against VUV irradiation. It was found that the degradation property of $(Y,Gd)BO_3$ : Eu red phosphor synthesized by ultrasonic thermal spray was superior to commercial phosphor.

Europium-activated $Ga_2$$O_3$ phosphor powders were prepared by Pechini method from the mixed aqueous solutions of gallium(III) nitrate, europium(III) nitrate, ethylene glycol and citric acid. The phase formation process and particle shape of the powders obtained were investigated by means of TG/DTA, XRD and SEM. It was found that the powders were amorphous or ${\gamma}$-$Ga_2$$O_3$-like phase up to $500^{\circ}C$ and then transformed into $\beta$- $Ga_2$$O_3$ phase above $600 ^{\circ}C$. The powders calcined below $1000^{\circ}C$ were spherical and nanometer-sized. Photoluminescence spectra measured at room temperature showed that the highest luminescence intensity was obtained for the sample synthesized under the conditions of 2 mol% Eu concentration and heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Properties of both photoluminescence and long-phosphorescent for Eu, Dy-codoped $SrAl_2O_4$ powder phosphor synthesized by solid reaction method were investigated by PL instrument. Two intense peaks in the emission spectrum measured at 10 K are observed near 450 nm (2.755 eV) and 520 nm (2.384 eV) wavelength, but at 300 K the main peak of 520 nm wavelength is presented. After the removal of light excitation (360 nm), the excellent after-glow characteristic of the phosphorescence were obtained as a result of low decay tiem, although the after-glow intensities of phosphor vary exponentially with the times.

It was grown ZrO2:10 mol% Y2O3 single crystals doped with 1 wt% of rare earth metal ion (Ce, Pr, Nd, Er, Eu) by Skull Method. Grown crystals showed Ce:orange-red, Pr:golden-yellow, Nd:lilac, Er:pink, Eu:light pink due to dopant effect. It was examined color centers in light absorption pattern of visible region (λ= 300~700 nm); in as grown samples, absorption by Ce4+, (Pr4+, Pr3+), Nd3+, Er3+, Eu3+ ions were important, and in samples after vacuum annealing, decrease of absorption by Pr4+ ion and increase of absorption by Pr3+ ion was important, and absorption by Ce3+, Eu2+ was important due to reduction of activator.

The effect of excitation energy and various dopants(Eu and Ce) on the emission wavelength and intensity were investigated. According to PL spectra, SrO-$Al_2O_3$ phosphors had wide absorption band at nUV. By substituting Ce for Eu, the emission band and excitation wavelength were shifted to shorter wavelength. Ce doped $SrAl_2O_4$ and $Sr_4Al_{14}O_{25}$ showed greenish blue(475nm) and blue(400nm), respectively.

Photosynthesis of plants is effective in the range of 550 to 700 nm of the wavelength of solar irradiation. If the conversion of ultraviolet to the above mentioned region is possible, the photosynthesizing ability is expected to be enhanced. $Eu^{3+}$ doped soda-lime bulk and $TiO_2-SiO_2$ sol-gel coated glasses were prepared and their spectroscopic properties were studied. The absorption and emission spectra for the specimens were measured with the changes of wavelength and Eu ion concentration in the range of the wavelength of 300 to 700nm. The transmittance intensity of visible light through the bulk glass and the coated one was unchanged with the addition of Eu element. The emission spectrum intensity of $Eu^{3+}$ was found to be the maximum at 618 nm which is a transition of $^5DO{\rightarrow}^7F_2$. Additionally, it was shown that the intensity was linearly increased up to 10% of the Eu concentration.
