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 ...

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 ...

Magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) has received special attention as a technologically important material because of its attractive properties, such as mechanical strength, chemical inertness, a wideband gap, relatively low ...

The recent global research interest in wide band gap semiconductors has been focused on zinc oxide (ZnO) due to its excellent and unique properties as a semiconductor material. The high electron mobility, high thermal ...

English: Thin films of SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor were deposited on silicon (Si (100)) substrates using a 248 nm KrF pulsed laser. Deposition parameters, namely; substrate temperature, pulse repetition rate, number of laser ...

The ZnO nanostructures were successfully synthesized by chemical bath deposition method (CBD) to study the influence of parameters such as reaction temperature, time, precursor concentration and the annealing temperature ...

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 ...

Since Tang and VanSlyke developed the first organic light emitting diode (OLED) in the late 80’s using tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3) as both the emissive and electron transporting layer, a lot of research has ...

Under Ultra violet (UV), cathode-ray and X-ray excitation, terbium activated rare earth oxysulphide (Gd2O2S:Tb3+) phosphors shows bright green luminescence. Due to its superior luminescent performance, Gd2O2S:Tb3+ phosphor ...

Luminescent lead sulphide (PbS) nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous silica (SiO2) matrix were synthesized at room temperature by a sol-gel process. The prepared nanocomposite materials were crushed into powders and ...
