Spherical $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles were synthesized using spray pyrolysis, and the upconversion (UC) properties were investigated with changing the preparation conditions and the infrared pumping power. The resulting particles had a size of about $1{\mu}m$ and hollow structure. The prepared $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles exhibited intense green emission due to the $^5F_4/^5S_2{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition of $Ho^{3+}$ and showed weak red or near-IR peaks. In terms of achieving the highest UC emission, the optimal concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ were 0.3% and 2.0%, respectively. The UC emission intensity of prepared $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles had a linear relationship with crystallite size and concentration quenching was caused by dipole-dipole interaction between the same ions. Based on the dependency of UC emission on the pumping power, the observed green upconversion was achieved through a typical two-photon process and concluded that the main energy transfer from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Ho^{3+}$ was involved in the ground-state adsorption (GSA) process.

백색 LED 기술이 발달함에 따라 적색 형광체는 산업 및 학계에서 점차 중요성이 커지고 있으며, 시장에서 수요는 꾸준히 증가했다. 적색 형광체는 고효율 및 고연색의 LED 조명에 사용된다. 그러나 $Eu^{2+}$ 활성제를 사용한 적색 형광체는 4f-5d 전이로 발생하는 녹색 또는 황색 스펙트럼 영역에서의 강한 재흡수로 인해 백색 LED 칩에서 색상 변경 및 발광 강도의 저하를 유발했다. 이러한 단점이 없고 연색성 지수(CRI)를 더 향상할 수 있는 $Mn^{4+}$ 도핑된 형광체가 현재 매우 중요하다. 그러나 $Mn^{4+}$ 도핑된 형광체는 $^2E_g{\rightarrow}^4A_2$ 전이로 인하여 발광 파장이 모체에 따라 결정된다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 동일구조의 $SrGe_4O_9$와 $BaGe_4O_9$ 모체를 합성하여 $Sr_{1-x}B_axGe_4O_9:Mn^{4+}{_{0.005}}$ (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1)를 얻었다. 이로 인해 LED 기술의 다양한 색상 조정이 가능해졌다.

희토류 이온 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$가 각각 도핑된 $CaMoO_4$ 광체 분말을 고상반응법으로 합성하였다. 모든 형광체 분말의 결정 구조는 활성제 이온의 종류와 농도비에 관계없이 주 회절 피크(112)를 갖는 정방 정계이었다. $Eu^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 형광체의 경우에, $Eu^{3+}$ 이온의 농도가 0.01~0.10 mol 영역에서 결정 입자의 크기는 전반적으로 증가하였고, 비교적 균일한 크기 분포를 가지면서 조약돌 형태를 나타내었으며, 흡광 스펙트럼은 311 nm를 정점으로 넓게 퍼져있는 전하 전달 밴드와 파장 영역 360~470nm에서 약한 피크를 갖는 다수의 흡수선이 관측되었으며, 주 발광 스펙트럼은 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온의 $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ 전이에 의한 618 nm에 피크를 갖는 강한 적색 발광이었다. $Dy^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 분말의 경우에, 흡광 스펙트럼은 303 nm에 피크를 갖는 전하 전달 밴드와 상대적으로 세기가 약한 다수의 $Dy^{3+}$ 이온의 전이 신호가 발생하였으며, 주 발광 스펙트럼은 $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^7H_{13/2}$ 전이에 의한 578 nm에 피크를 갖는 황색 발광 스펙트럼이 관측되었다.

The effects of $Eu^{3+}$ doping on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of $MgMoO_4:Dy^{3+},Eu^{3+}$ phosphors prepared by solid-state reaction technique were investigated. XRD patterns exhibited that all the synthesized phosphors showed a monoclinic system with a dominant (220) diffraction peak, irrespective of the content of $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The surface morphology of $MgMoO_4:Dy^{3+},Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was studied using scanning electron microscopy and the grains showed a tendency to agglomerate as the content of $Eu^{3+}$ ions increased. The excitation spectra of the phosphor powders were composed of a strong charge transfer band centered at 294 nm in the range of 230~340 nm and two intense peaks at 354 and 389 nm, respectively, arising from the $^6H_{15/2}{\rightarrow}^6P_{7/2}$ and $^6H_{15/2}{\rightarrow}^4M_{21/2}$ transitions of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The emission spectra of the $Mg_{0.85}MoO_4$:10 mol% $Dy^{3+}$ phosphors without incorporating $Eu^{3+}$ ions revealed a strong yellow band centered at 573 nm resulting from the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ transition of $Dy^{3+}$. As the content of $Eu^{3+}$ was increased, the intensity of the yellow emission was gradually decreased, while that of red emission band located at 614 nm began to appear, approached a maximum value at 10 mol%, and then decreased at 15 mol% of $Eu^{3+}$. These results indicated that white light emission could be achieved by controlling the contents of the $Dy^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions incorporated into the $MgMoO_4$ host crystal.

Green phosphors $K_2BaW_2O_8:Tb^{3+}$(1.0 mol%) were synthesized by solid state reaction method. Differential thermal analysis was applied to trace the reaction processes. Three endothermic values of 95, 706, and $1055^{\circ}C$ correspond to the loss of absorbed water, the release of carbon dioxide, and the beginning of the melting point, respectively. The phase purity of the powders was examined using powder X-ray diffraction(XRD). Two strong excitation bands in the wavelength region of 200-310 nm were found to be due to the ${WO_4}^{2-}$ exciton transition and the 4f-5d transition of $Tb^{3+}$ in $K_2BaW_2O_8$. The excitation spectrum presents several lines in the range of 310-380 nm; these are assigned to the 4f-4f transitions of the $Tb^{3+}$ ion. The strong emission line at around 550 nm, due to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_5$ transition, is observed together with weak lines of the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$(J = 3, 4, and 6) transitions. A broad emission band peaking at 530 nm is observed at 10 K, while it disappears at room temperature. The decay times of $Tb^{3+}$ $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_5$ emission are estimated to be 4.8 and 1.4 ms, respectively, at 10 and 295 K; those of the ${WO_4}^{2-}$ exciton emissions are 22 and 0.92 ${\mu}s$ at 10 and 200 K, respectively.

New white-light-emitting $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were prepared using different concentrations of $Dy^{3+}$ ions via a solid-state reaction. The phase structure, luminescence, and morphological properties of the synthesized phosphors were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis, fluorescence spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. All the synthesized phosphors crystallized in an orthorhombic phase with a major (020) diffraction peak, irrespective of the concentration of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The excitation spectra were composed of a broad band centered at 298 nm, ascribed to the $O^2-Dy^{3+}$ charge transfer band and five weak bands in the range of 350~500 nm. The emission spectra of $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors consisted of three bands centered at 485, 577, and 665 nm, corresponding to the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{15/2}$, $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$, and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{11/2}$ transitions of $Dy^{3+}$, respectively. As the $Dy^{3+}$ concentration increased from 1 to 15 mol%, the intensities of all the emission bands gradually increased, reached maxima at 15 mol% of $Dy^{3+}$ ions, and then decreased rapidly at 20 mol% due to concentration quenching. The critical distance between neighboring $Dy^{3+}$ ions for concentration quenching was calculated to be $9.4{\AA}$. The optimal white light emission by the $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors was obtained when the $Dy^{3+}$ concentration was 15 mol%.

$SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized using the polymerized complex method. Generally, phosphorescent phosphors synthesized by conventional solid state reaction show a micro-sized particle diameter; thus, this process is restricted to applications such as phosphorescent ink and paint. However, it is possible to synthesize homogeneous multi-component powders with fine particle diameter by wet process such as the polymerized complex method. The characteristics of $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ powders prepared by polymerized complex method with one and two step calcination processes were comparatively analyzed. Temperatures of organic material removal and crystallization were observed through TG-DTA analysis. The crystalline phase and crystallite size of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were analyzed by XRD. Microstructures and afterglow characteristics of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were measured by SEM and spectrofluorometry, respectively.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate which of the following imaging methods best assessed misfit at the tooth-restoration interface: (1) bitewing radiographs, both conventional and digital, performed using a photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) and a charge-coupled device (CCD) system; (2) panoramic radiographs, both conventional and digital; and (3) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Forty healthy human molars with class I cavities were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the restoration that was applied: composite resin, composite resin with liner material to simulate misfit, dental amalgam, and dental amalgam with liner material to simulate misfit. Radiography and tomography were performed using the various imaging methods, and the resulting images were analyzed by 2 calibrated radiologists. The true presence or absence of misfit corresponding to an area of radiolucency in regions subjacent to the esthetic and metal restorations was validated with microscopy. The data were analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the scores were compared using the Cohen kappa coefficient. Results: For bitewing images, the digital systems (CCD and PSP) showed a higher area under the ROC curve (AUROC) for the evaluation of resin restorations, while the conventional images exhibited a larger AUROC for the evaluation of amalgam restorations. Conventional and digital panoramic radiographs did not yield good results for the evaluation of resin and amalgam restorations (P<.05). CBCT images exhibited good results for resin restorations(P>.05), but showed no discriminatory ability for amalgam restorations(P<.05). Conclusion: Bitewing radiographs (conventional or digital) should be the method of choice when assessing dental restoration misfit.

[ $A_{3-2x/3}Al_{1-z}In_{z}O_4F:Eu_x^{3+}$ ](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.
