This review summarizes recent work in nanostructured insulating materials that contain
optically active lanthanide ions. These materials find applications in lasers, optical …

Recent advances in the phosphors used for field emission displays (FEDs) are discussed.
After reviewing the range of voltages and phosphors being used in first generation devices …

Eu-, Tb-, and Tm-doped zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) thin film phosphors were prepared by the
spray pyrolysis technique at an ambient pressure. The effects of preparation conditions on …

Pure and rare earth doped gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) waveguide films were prepared by a
simple sol–gel process and dip-coating method. Gd2O3 was successfully synthesized by …

Drawn from the second edition of the best-selling Phosphor Handbook, Practical
Applications of Phosphors outlines methods for the production of various phosphors and …

Europium-doped yttrium oxide (Eu: Y 2 O 3) luminescent thin films have been grown in situ
on single crystal (0001) sapphire substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The …

Thin film of Zn2SiO4: Mn2+ has been deposited on SiO2 buffered Si (SiO2/Si) wafers by the
sol–gel process by means of a spin coating. Structural details of these films have been …

We report, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the luminescent properties of Tb3+
and Eu3+ doped Zn2SiO4 phosphors prepared by a sol–gel process. The phosphors have …

Gd 2 O 3: Eu 3+ and Li-doped Gd 2 O 3: Eu 3+ luminescent thin films have been grown on Al
2 O 3 (0001) substrates using pulsed-laser deposition. The films grown under different …
