The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of $Ca_xSr_{2-x}$ and activator on the structural and luminescent properties of green-emitting $Ca_xSr_{2-x}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ nano phosphor. Using urea as fuel and ammonium nitrate as oxidizer, $Ca_xSr_{2-x}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ has been successfully synthesized, using a combustion method. The particles were found to be small, spherical and of round surface. SEM imagery showed that the phosphors particles are of nanosize. The $Ca_xSr_{2-x}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ emission spectrum for 360 nm excitation showed a single band, with a peak at 490 nm, which is a green emission. The highest luminous intensity was at $1,000^{\circ}C$, which was obtained when the $Eu^{2+}$ content (y) was 0.05. The results support the application of $Ca_xSr_{2-x}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor as a fluorescent material for ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). Characteristics of the synthesized $Ca_xSr_{2-x}SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) detection.

We propose a new concept: that of photonic crystal phosphors (PCPs) for display and phosphor related applications. It is well known that microcavities with dimensions comparable to the emitting wavelength strongly enhance light-matter interactions, resulting in a significant increase in spontaneous emission rate, which can be directly translated into enhancement in phosphor efficiency. In recent simulations we have demonstrated that when a microcavity is formed in a nano-phosphor structure, the luminescence band is modified, and can be made spectrally sharp and tunable by engineering the geometry/material properties of the cavity and the surrounding photonic crystal lattice. New phosphor material structures based on photonic crystals are proposed. Applications to thin film EL phosphors and particle phosphors are discussed. Additionally, economic methods of synthesizing and incorporating PCPs into current display applications are proposed.

The synthesis of nano-size ($Y_{0.955}Eu_{0.1}$)($P_{0.7}V_{0.45}$)$O_4$ red phosphors were conducted by using a Liquid Phase Precursor (LPP) method. In this method, cellulose pulp was used as a template showing the micro fibre structures to obtain the nano size YPV red phosphor. Aqueous solutions of raw materials were impregnated into cellulose pulp and subsequently impregnated pulp was dried and fired at $800-1200^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The effect of luminescence properties on compositions and temperatures was evaluated with photoluminescence spectrum, X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM, and TEM. High efficiency (~110%) of phosphor of size of ~500nm fired at $1150^{\circ}C$ was obtained compared with the micro size of commercial product. High efficiency behaviors of nano size phosphors were discussed in this paper.

Red-emitting nitride phosphors recently attracted considerable attention because of their high thermal stability and high color rendering index properties. For excellent phosphor of white light-emitting-diode, ternary nitride phosphor of $Sr/SmSi_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ with different $Eu^{2+}$ ion concentration were synthesized by solid state reaction method. In this work, red-emitting nitride $Sr/SmSi_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was successfully synthesized by using multi-step high frequency induction heat treatment. The effects of molar ratio of component and experimental conditions on luminescence property of prepared phosphors have been investigated. The structure and luminescence properties of prepared $Sr/SmSi_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors were investigated by XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The excitation spectra of $Sr/SmSi_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors indicated broad excitation wavelength range of 300 - 550 nm, namely from UV to visible area with distinct enhanced emission peaks. With an increase of $Eu^{2+}$ ion concentration, the peak position of emission in spectra was red-shifted from 613 to 671 nm. After via multi-step heat treatment, prepared phosphor showed excellent luminescence properties, such as high emission intensity and low thermal quenching, better than commercial phosphor of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$. Using $Eu_2O_3$ as a raw material for $Eu^{2+}$ dopant with nitrogen gas flowing instead of using commercial EuN chemical for $Sr/SmSi_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ synthesis is one of characteristic of this work.

Optimized volume production of nanoscale phosphor powders synthesized by radio frequency (RF) plasma process was developed for the application to plasma display panels. The nano powders were synthesized by feeding the both solid and liquid type precursors, and nanoparticle phosphors were characterized in terms of particle size, shape, and photoluminescence (PL) intensities. Computer simulation was performed in advance to determine the process parameters, and nano phosphors were evaluated by comparing with current commercial micron-sized phosphor powders. Practical feeding of both solid and liquid type precursor was proved to be effective for volume production.The developed process showed a potential as a production method for red, blue and green phosphor although the PL intensity still needs further improvement.

$Ce^{3+}$-doped yttrium aluminum gallium garnet (YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$), which is a green-emitting phosphor, was synthesized by solid state reaction using ${\alpha}$-phase or ${\gamma}$-phase of nano-sized $Al_2O_3$ as the Al source. The processing conditions and the chemical composition of phosphor for the maximum emission intensity were optimized on the basis of emission intensity under vacuum UV excitation. The optimum heating temperature for phosphor preparation was $1550^{\circ}C$. Photoluminescence properties of the synthesized phosphor were investigated in detail. From the excitation and emission spectra, it was confirmed that the YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors effectively absorb the vacuum UV of 120-200 nm and emit green light positioned around 530 nm. The crystalline phase of the alumina nanoparticles affected the particle size and the luminescence property of the synthesized phosphors. Nano-sized ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was more effective for the achievement of higher emission intensity than was nano-sized ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$. This discrepancy is considered to be because the diffusion of $Al^{3+}$ into $Y_2O_3$ lattice is dependent on the crystalline phase of $Al_2O_3$, which affects the phase transformation of YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors. The optimum chemical composition, having the maximum emission intensity, was $(Y_{2.98}Ce_{0.02})(Al_{2.8}Ga_{1.8})O_{11.4}$ prepared with ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. On the other hand, the decay time of the YAGG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphors, irrespective of the crystalline phase of the nano-sized alumina source, was below 1 ms due to the allowed $5d{\rightarrow}4f$ transition of the $Ce^{3+}$ activator.

절삭특성은 재료를 원하는 형상으로 가공하기 위해 재료의 불필요한 부분을 제거할 경우 그 가공성이 쉽거나 어려움에 대한 정도로 전의될 수 있는데 동합금 소재의 절삭특성은 절삭시 발생된 칩의 형상이나 길이를 측정하거나 또는 공구계에 부착된 토오크 미터에 의해 절삭력을 간접적으로 측정하는 방법 등이 사용되어 오고 있다. 상기의 평가방 법은 절삭특성의 간접적인 평가방법이라는 한계와 정확도에 문제가 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압전형 공구동력계(Piezoelectric Tool Dynamometer)를 쾌삭인청동합금 피절삭물에 직접 부착하여 절삭가공시 절삭력은 정량적으로 직접 측정하고자 하였다. 쾌삭인청동합금의 소둔 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 결정립의 성장에 의한 연화현상과 납입자의 군집화(Clustering)는 관찰되었으나 그로 인한 절삭력 및 절삭에 필요한 에너지의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다.

ZnS:Cu,Cl phosphor was coated by solid-gel reaction with $SiO_2$ outside layer. The effect of $Cu^{2+}$-doping concentration has been investigated on the luminescence characteristics of ZnS:Cu,Cl blue-green phosphors for inorganic electro luminescent device. Also, SiO2 coated layers' effect on luminescence characteristics. Evaluation of luminescence characteristics dependent on the synthesis conditions is important to get high-performance phosphors properties. EL and PL properties such as luminescence intensity and chromaticity of ZnS:Cu,Cl phosphors synthesized with different concentration of activator, $Cu^{2+}$, were analysed separately

The $Gd_{1.9-x}Li_{0.1}Eu_xO_3$ (x=0.02, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.12) powders (${\thickapprox}1{\mu}m$) synthesized by sol-gel method, whose surfaces are modified in a colloidal silica suspension (size of $SiO_2$ particles: ${\sim}30$ nm), have been fabricated to highly stable and effective luminescent films on the glass substrates. Thanks to the fused $SiO_2$ nano particles in the vicinity of the glass softening temperature (at around $700^{\circ}C$), $Gd_{1.9-x}Li_{0.1}Eu_xO_3$ powders are strongly attached onto the surface of glass substrate (>9H, pencil hardness tester). This simple and low-cost method to get $Gd_{1.9-x}Li_{0.1}Eu_xO_3$ phosphor films without any loss of luminescence brightness would promise for applications to display devices.
