Combustion method was used to prepare all the alkaline earth aluminates (rare-earths doped BaAl2O4, BaSrAl2O4 and BaZnAl2O4) phosphor powders in this study. Measurements of these phosphor powders were carried out using ...

Phosphors have many uses today in applications such as electronic information displays, solid state lighting, solar cells, advertising and theft prevention. By using urea-assisted solution combustion method, we prepared ...

The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the luminescent properties of commercial CaS:Eu2+ powder and pulsed laser deposited thin films for application in light emitting diodes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray ...

There is currently widespread interest among researchers in ZnO-ZnS coreshell nanorods as electrodes in prototype solar cells. ZnS has been proposed as a suit- able inorganic sensitizer to ZnO because ZnO and ZnS when in ...

Luminescent ZrO2:Pr3+ , SiO2:Pr3+, ZnO:Pr3+ and ZnS:Pr3+ nanophosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel method, dried, ground and annealed in air at 600oC (SiO2:Pr3+, ZrO2:Pr3+, ZnO:Pr3+ and ZnS:Pr3+) or 280oC (ZrO2:Pr3+). ...

The luminescent properties of the bismuth doped yttrium oxide (Y2-xO3:Bix) phosphor material was investigated as a powder and as thin films for possible application as a down-conversion material for solar cells. The goal ...

The luminescent and structural properties of the alkaline earth aluminate phosphors prepared by solid state reaction, combustion and sol-gel methods are discussed. The Solid state and Sol-gel methods required much longer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pr3+ ion doped ZnTa2O6, SrTa2O6, CaTa2O6 and ZnTaGaO5 phosphors, which display persistent luminescence were prepared by solid state chemical reaction at 1200 oC for 4 hours. A ZnTa2O6:Pr3+ phosphor that resembled an ...
