[ $A_{3-2x/3}Al_{1-z}In_{z}O_4F:Eu_x^{3+}$ ](A = Ca, Sr, Ba, x = -0.15, z = 0, 0.1) oxyfluoride phosphors were simply prepared by the solid-state method at $1050^{\circ}C$ in air. The phosphors had the bright red photoluminescence (PL) spectra of an $A_{3-2x/3}Al_{1-z}In_{z}O_4F$ for $Eu^{3+}$ activator. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the obtained red phosphors were exhibited for indexing peak positions and calculating unit-cell parameters. Dynamic excitation and emission spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ activated red oxyfluoride phosphors were clearly monitored. Red and blue shifts gradually occurred in the emission spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ activated $A_3AlO_4F$ oxyfluoride phosphors when $Sr^{2+}$ by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ ions were substituted, respectively. The concentration quenching as a function of $Eu^{3+}$ contents in $A_{3-2x/3}AlO_4F:Eu^{3+}$ (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) was measured. The interesting behaviors of defect-induced $A_{3-2x/3}Al_{1-z}In_{z}O_{4-{\alpha}}F_{1-{\delta}}$ phosphors with $Eu^{3+}$ activator are discussed based on PL spectra and CIE coordinates. Substituting $In^{3+}$ into the $Al^{3+}$ position in the $A_{3-2x/3}AlO_4F:Eu^{3+}$ oxyfluorides resulted in the relative intensity of the red emitted phosphors noticeably increasing by seven times.

$SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 축광성 형광체의 합성에 있어서 $B_2O_3$는 일반적으로 고상반응의 촉진을 위한 플럭스로서 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 플럭스로 첨가되는 $B_2O_3$가 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체의 결정구조 및 잔광 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 합성된 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체는 520nm에서 최대 피크를 갖는 폭넓은 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, $B_2O_3$ 첨가량의 5wt%일 때 최대값을 나타내었다. $B_2O_3$의 첨가에 의해 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정 내부에는 균일 변형(uniform strain)이 발생하였고 이 결과로 결정격자의 a축과 c축의 길이 및 $\beta$각이 감소하여다. 그리고 $SrAl_2O_4$ 결정내부의 균일 변형은 $Eu^{2+}$이온의 여기과정에서 발생하는 정공(hole)의 포획 사이트인 음이온 결함(negative defect)을 다량 발생시키는 원인이 되고, 결과적으로 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정의 잔광 특성을 향상시키는 것으로 생각되었다.

The co-doping effect of aliovalent metal ions such as Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Zn²⁺ on the photoluminescence of the Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ red phosphor, prepared by spray pyrolysis, is analyzed. Mg²⁺ metal doping is found to be helpful for enhancing the luminescence of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺. When comparing the luminescence intensity at the optimum doping level of each Mg²⁺ ion, the emission enhancement shows the order of Zn²⁺ ≈ Ba²⁺ > Ca²⁺ > Sr³⁺ > Mg²⁺. The highest emission occurs when doping approximately 1.3% Zn²⁺, which is approximately 127% of the luminescence intensity of pure Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺. The highest emission was about 127% of the luminescence intensity of pure Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ when doping about 1.3% Zn²⁺. It is determined that the reason (Y, M)₂O₃:Eu³⁺ has improved luminescence compared to that of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ is because the crystallinity of the matrix is improved and the non-luminous defects are reduced, even though local lattice strain is formed by the doping of aliovalent metal. Further improvement of the luminescence is achieved while reducing the particle size by using Li₂CO₃ as a flux with organic additives.

We present a new toed phosphor, $Gd_{2-x-y}Li_xEu_yO_3$ with superior luminescent Properties compared to the commercially available red phosphor $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$. The phosphor, with a diameter of about $2\mu\textrm{m}$, consists of the psedospherical particles in a regular array. The photoluminescence measurements as a function of the laser power and the Eu mole fraction were performed at zoom temperature The luminescence intensity linearly increases as both the laser power and the Eu mole fraction Increase. As for the dependence on cathodoluminescence, the incorporation of Eu and Li ions into $Gd_2O_3$ lattice brings about an increase in luminescent efficiency. The highest emission intensity for the phosphor occurs at the applied voltage of 500 V, its value is larger than that of $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ powder by 70%.

$Eu^{2+}/Dy^{3+}$-doped $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7$ powders were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method with flux ($NH_4Cl$). The broad photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra of $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7:Eu^{2+}$ were assigned to the $4f^7-4f^65d$ transition of the $Eu^{2+}$ ions, showing strong intensities in the range of 375 to 425 nm. A single emission band was observed at 470 nm, which was the result of two overlapping subbands at 468 and 507 nm owing to Eu(I) and Eu(II) sites. The strongest emission intensity of $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7:Eu^{2+}$ was obtained at the Eu concentration of 3 mol%. This concentration quenching mechanism was attributable to dipole-dipole interaction. The $Ba^{2+}$ substitution for $Sr^{2+}$ caused a blue-shift of the emission band; this behavior was discussed by considering the differences in ionic size and covalence between $Ba^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$. The effects of the Eu/Dy ratios on the phosphorescence of $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7:Eu^{2+}/Dy^{3+}$ were investigated by measuring the decay time; the longest afterglow was obtained for $0.01Eu^{2+}/0.03Dy^{3+}$.

The synthesis of $SrAI_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor and its properties of both photoluminescence and long-phosphorescent were investigated as a function of sintering condition. Single phase of $SrAl_2O_4$ was obtained by sintering the mixtures of $SrCO_3$, $Eu_2O_3$, $AI_2O_34 and 3wt% $B_2O_3$ powders over 100$0^{\circ}C$ in Ar/H2 atmosphere. The optimum sintering condition for the long-phosphorescent phosphor of $SrAI_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ was found at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hours. The PL emission spectrum of $SrAI_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ shows a maximum peak intensity at 520nm(2.384eV) with a broad emission extending from 450 to 650nm which resulted from the $4f^65d^1$$\rightarrow$$4f^7$ transition of $Eu^{+2}$ under 360nm exitation. Monitored at 520nm. the excita¬tion spectrum of $SrAI_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ exhibits a maximum peak intensity at 360nm (3.44eV) with a broad absorption band extending from 250 to 480nm.

We have synthesized an $Eu^{2+}$-activated $Sr_3MgSi_2O_8$ blue phosphor and $Ba_2SiO_4$ green phosphor and $Ba^{2+}$ co-doped $Sr_3SiO_5$ red phosphor investigated an attempt to develop white LEDs by combining it with a GaN blue LED $chip(\lambda_{em}=405 nm)$. Three distinct emission bands from the GaN-based LED and the $(Sr_3MgSi_2O_8:Eu\; +\; Ba_2SiO_4:Eu\; +\; Ba^{2+}\; co-doped\; Sr_3SiO_5:Eu)$ phosphor are clearly observed at 460nm, 520 nm and at around 600 nm, respectively. These three emission bands combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. Our results show that GaN (405 nm chip)-based $(Sr_3MgSi_2O_8:Eu\; +\; Ba_2SiO_4:Eu\; +\; Ba^{2+}\; co-doped\; Sr_3SiO_5:Eu) exhibits a better luminous efficiency than that of the industrially available product InGaN (460 nm chip)-based YAG:Ce.

The microstructure and crystal structure of the $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Dy^{3+}$ powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra showed an excitation band along over wide wavelength of 250-450nm, and a broaden emission with a maxima peak at 360nm. In addition, the spectra also showed a good long after glow that decayed over a 1000sec period after 10 min excitation illumination.

Europium activated yttrium oxide ($Y_2O_3$ : Eu) is extensively applied to red phosphor for Flat Panel Display because of its high efficiency and the thermal and chemical stability. Flat Panel Display screen which have a high resolution and high efficiency needs to the phosphors of ideally small size spherical particle. In this study, we prepared a $Y_2O_3$ : Eu phosphor using polymeric precursor methods and investigated the codoping effect by introducing the group 1 or 2 elements to $Y_2O_3$ : Eu phosphor in view of improvement of luminance efficiency.
