The analysis of the high-resolution spectra of 31 Magellanic Clouds Cepheid variables enabled the identification of thorium lines. The abundances of thorium were found with spectrum synthesis method. The calculated thorium abundances exhibit correlations with the abundances of other chemical elements and atmospheric parameters of the program stars. These correlations are similar for both Clouds. The correlations of iron abundances of thorium, europium, neodymium, and yttrium relative to the pulsational periods are different in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), namely the correlations are negative for LMC and positive or close to zero for SMC. One of the possible explanations can be the higher activity of nucleosynthesis in SMC with respect to LMC in the recent several hundred million years.

Europium doped yttrium vanadate ($YVO_4$:Eu) phosphor thin films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on silicon substrate. The structural characterization carried out on a series of ($YVO_4$:Eu films at post annealing temperature in the range of 550 $^{\circ}C$-1150 $^{\circ}C$ indicating that films were preferentially (200) oriented at post annealing temperature above 950 $^{\circ}C.$ Photoluminescence of thin film increased with the increase of post annealing temperature and ambient oxygen pressure though the thin film has the powder-like surface morphology at oxygen pressure above 200 mTorr. Photoluminescence decay from $^5D_1$ level of $Eu^{3+}$ show the great concentration dependency, which can be used as a good parameter to control the composition of ($YVO_4$:Eu thin film.

The synthesis of pure and rare-earth doped gallium oxide (${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$) nanoparticles is reported. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized with XRD, TEM, and PL analyses. Strong blue emission is observed from un-doped gallium oxide nanoparticles, while nanoparticles doped with $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ give strong red and green emissions, respectively. When doped with $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ together, gallium oxide nanoparticles emit white light. The CIE coordinate of the emitted light was found to be (0.33, 0.33), which is well within the white light region.

Resins were synthesized by mixing N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene (2th petroleum in 4th class hazardous materials) divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer with crosslink of 1%, 2%, 6%, and 12% by substitution reaction. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), surface area, and IR-spectroscopy. The effects of pH, equilibrium arrival time, dielectric constant of solvent and crosslink on adsorption of metal ions by the synthetic resin adsorbent were investigated. The metal ions were showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 4. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol was in increasing order uranium (VI) > zinc (II) > europium (III) ions. The uranium ion adsorbed in the order of 1%, 2%, 6%, and 12% crosslink resin and adsorption of resin decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constant of solvents.

Organic electroluminescent devices (OELDs) have received a great deal of attention due to their potential application as full-color displays. Europium complexes are known as excellent red light-emitting materials for OELDs since they show intense photoluminescence at around 612 nm with a narrow spectral bandwidth. In this study, a novel curopium complex, Eu(TTA)$_3$(TPPO) was synthcsizcd and its photoluminescent and electroluminescent characteristics were investigated with a device structure of ITO/TPD/Eu(TTA)3(TPPO)/A1q$_{3}$ Al, where sharp emission at the wavelength of 615 nm has been observed. Details on the electrical properties of these structures will be also discussed.

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chloromethyl styrene (dangerous matter) 1, 4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 5%, and 15%-crosslinked and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption of uranium(VI), cobalt(II) and europium(III) ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The correlation between the adsorption characteristics of rare earths and transition metal on the resins and stability constants of complexes with macrocyclic ligand have been examined. The uranium ion was not adsorbed on the resins below pH 2.0, but the power of adsorption of uranium ion increased rapidly above pH 3.0. The adsorption power was in the order of 1%, 5% and 15%-crosslinked resin, but adsorptive characteristics of resins decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constants of solvents.

Nowadays, the glare towards the light-emitting diode (LED) lighting source has much attention due to its eco-friendly nature, reduced energy consumption, and low CO2 emission. LEDs can show versatile colors by changing the composition ratio of semiconductors. Phosphors re-emit light by absorbing light from LED, which is the key factor for emission. The endeavor to make replica of natural white light is increasing day by day. Industrially, blue LED chip crowned with a yellow phosphor coated lens gives low quality white light. Newly, many researchers are introducing modern approaches, adding red phosphor to the yellow phosphor to increase the quality of white light. Here, we synthesized structurally and chemically stable europium doped oxyapatite Ca8Gd2(PO4)6O2 nano-crystalline structures by a hydrothermal method. The ultrafine structures were formed due to the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which is confirmed by the transmission electron microscope images. The structural properties were analyzed using the X-ray diffraction patterns.

Traces of nine elements, gold, arsenic, cobalt, chromium, copper, europium, hafnium, sodium and antimony in commercially available silicon crystals were determined by the instrumental neutron activation analysis using the single comparator method. The values of the concentrations of these elements in both single and polycrystals were found to decrease significantly to a low limiting level by simply washing and etching surface contaminants having been introduced during various steps of sample preparation and irradiation. However, the chromium levels in polycrystals were not easily decreased, these depending upon the cutting tools employed. The Sb-doped content in each semiconductor has been compared with the associated quantities such as the concentration and the conductivity range given by the sample donor. Uncertainty in the sodium analysis due to the fission neutron reaction by silicon itself was discussed.

Yttrium oxysulfide incoporated with europium has been prepared by direct heating the mixture of $Y_2O_3,\;Eu_2O_3,\;NaOH(or\;Na_2CO_3)$, and S. The reaction of the mixture at low temperatures and treatment at higher temperatures are studied. The formation of $Y_2O_2S$ is completed at lower temperature (ca. 500$^{\circ}C$) and incorporation of $Eu^{3+}$ into $Y_2O_2S$ lattice proceeds at higher temperature (above 1000$^{\circ}C$) along with crystal growth. Small amount of the unknown phase considered to be $Y_2O_2S_2$ is formed along with $Y_2O_2S$ in the temperature range from 400$^{\circ}C$ to 460$^{\circ}C$.

A series of excitation spectra (7Fo→5Do transition) of Eu(Ⅲ) ion in aqueous solution ([Eu(Ⅲ)]=1.12 × 10-2 mol L-1; pH 1.0 to 7.0) were obtained under CO2 free atmosphere using a pulsed tunable dye laser system. The broad and low intensity spectra (peak maximum: 578.89 nm) showed that the trivalent ion (Eu3+) underwent a low degree of hydrolysis at pH below 6.0. Eu(Ⅲ) hydroxo complex formation seemed more significant at pH above 6.0, shown by the occurrence of intense new peak at 578.63 nm. The spectra of those solutions prepared in N2 atmosphere showed no signs of the presence of interfering carbonate species. The Eu(Ⅲ) hydroxo complex formation was not observed when complexation studies between Eu(Ⅲ) ion and weak organic acids (e.g. glutarate and diglycolate) were conducted at pH 6.0 or below.
