Study of the structure, particle morphology and optical properties of mixed metal oxides
(University of the Free State, 2017-01)
The structure, morphology and optical properties of metal oxides (ZnO, MgO and SrO), their composites (MgO-ZnO, SrO-ZnO) and systems with different x molar concentration values (0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) of MgxZn1-xO ...
Study on luminescence and structural properties of vanadates phosphors
(University of the Free State, 2016-01)
A self-activated yellow emitting zinc vanadate (Zn2 Y20 1) was synthesized by combustion
method. The influence of the processing parameters such as synthesis temperature and
dopants concentration on the structure, ...
Material Properties of RE- Doped Ln (Ln= Y, La) oxides and oxysulfides phosphors for red-emitting devices
(University of the Free State, 2015-11)
Structural and optical properties of Eu3+-doped Ln (Ln=Y, La) oxide and oxysulfide nano
crystals synthesized by sol-combustion method were analysed as a function of host to fuel
ratio. Structural characterization shows ...
A comparative study between the simulated and measured cathodoluminescence generated in ZnS phosphor powder
(University of the Free State, 2003-08)
In the past few decades cathode ray tubes (CRTs) have dominated the display market
because of their excellent image quality, ease and economy of manufacture. However
their bulky packaging and high power consumption make ...
Luminescent properties of Y2SiO5:Ce thin films
(University of the Free State, 2010-05)
The luminescent properties of yttrium silicate doped with cerium (Y2SiO5:Ce) phosphor thin films were investigated. A detailed investigation (cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and Gaussian peak fits) was ...
Synthesis and characterization of long afterglow phosphors (SrAl2O4:Ce³+, SrAl2O4:Tb³+, CaAlxOy:Tb³+, Y3Al5O12:Eu³+) using solution combustion method
(University of the Free State, 2011-11)
This work consists of several aspects of phosphor materials. Strontium, calcium and yttrium aluminate doped with rare earth (Ce, Tb and Eu) have been synthesized by solution combustion method using urea as a fuel for ...
Thermal, structural and luminescent properties of long after-glow MAlxOy:Eu²+,Dy³+ (M: Sr, Ba) phosphors
(University of the Free State, 2010-11)
The optimization of properties for new and potentially useful materials becomes a continuous and sometimes a lifelong process if future applications are anticipated. Research on luminescent materials is a good example of ...
Synthesis, characterization and luminescent mechanism of ZnS:Mn²+ nanophosphor
(University of the Free State, 2009-11-30)
ZnS:Mn2+ is commercially used in field emission displays (FEDs) and biological imaging of brain tumors. This study was done to determine the luminescent mechanism of both bulk and nano sized ZnS:Mn2+. Luminescent zinc ...
Synthesis and characterization of Ce³⁺ doped silica (SiO₂) ) nanophosphors co-doped with Al³⁺ or Mg²⁺ ions
(University of the Free State (Qwaqwa Campus), 2009-11)
In recent studies, amorphous silica (SiO2) has been used as a host matrix for rare-earth ions to prepare luminescent materials that can be used in various light emitting devices. Sol-gel glasses have the potential to hold ...
Degradation of ZnS:Cu,Au,Al phosphor powder and thin films under prolonged electron bombardment
(University of the Free State, 2001-10)
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and cathodoluminescence (CL), both excited by the
same electron beam, were used to monitor changes in surface composition and luminous
efficiency during electron bombardment. ZnS:Cu,Al,Au ...
