Rare-earth niobates, ag (Ln = Y, La, Gd) are well-known self-activated phosphors due to charge transfer in $NbO^{3-}_4$ showing a broad and strong emission band in the spectral region around 410 nm. In order to find new blue and red phosphors for FED, $LaNbO_4$ : X (X = Bi, Eu) phosphors are prepared through solid-state reactions at high temperature. The optimum reaction condition for these phosphors to give maximum emission intensity is obtained when it is first fired at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by second firing at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Under irradiation at 254 nm, $1mol\%\;Bi^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows strong blue emission band with a range of $420\~450nm$. Also $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows the maximum emission intensity at about 610 nm. Emission peaks at $415\~460nm$, $530\~560nm$and $570\~620nm$are observed in phosphors below $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$. Similar results are obtained in cathodoluminescent property of these phosphors.

New phosphors that enable the 3D application of PDP have been developed The decay times of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$, $(Y,Gd)Al_3(BO_3)_4:Tb^{3+}$ and $(Y,Gd)_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ were extremely shorter than those of conventional PDP phosphors. The color coordinates and intensities of the phosphors were also suitable for PDP For the first time in PDP industry, 3D/2D switchable PDP has been commercially available by adopting the phosphors.

Recently, It has performed that the basic research of the photoconductive material and the development and application of the digital radiograph detector which is divided into the direct and indirect method. The objective of this study investigate the effect of the electric characteristic about changing the composition of Arsenic in hybrid detector system for compensating a defect of conventional. We fabricated samples using the amorphous Selenium and Arsenic alloy with various concentrations of the Arsenic{seven step 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 3%, 5%). And using EFIRON optical adhesives the formed multi-layer$(Gd_{2}O_{2}S(Eu^{2+}))$ composed phosphor layer. X-ray and light sensitivity was measured to study x-ray response characteritics. As results, highest value was measured as output net charge and SNR were $315.7pC/cm^2/mR$ and 99.4 at 0.3%As doping ratio.

PXLM(Phosphor based x-ray light modulator) has a combined structure by phosphor, photoconductor, and liquid crystal and it can realize x-ray image of high resolution in clinical diagnosis area. In this study, we fabricated a photoconductor and investigated electrical and optical properties to confirm application possibility of radiator detector of PXLM structure. As photoconductor, amorphous selenium(a-Se), which is used most in DR(Digital radiography) of direct conversion method, was used and for formation of thin film, it was formed as $20{\mu}m-thick$ by using thermal vacuum evaporation system. For a produced a-Se film, through XRD(X-ray diffraction) and SEM(Scanning electron microscope), we investigated that amorphous structure was uniformly established and through optical measurement, for visible light of 40 $0\sim630nm$, it had absorption efficiency of 95 % and more. After fabricated a-Se film on the top of ITP substrate, hybrid structure was manufactured through forming $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ phosphor of $270{\mu}m-thick$ on the bottom of the substrate. As the result to confirm electrical property of the manufactured hybrid structure, in the case of appling $10V/{\mu}m$, leakage current of $2.5nA/cm^2$ and x-ray sensitivity of $7.31nC/cm^2/mR$ were investigated. Finally, we manufactured PXLM structure combined with hybrid structure and liquid crystal cell of TN(Twisted nematic) mode and then, investigated T-V(Transmission vs. voltage) curve of external light source for induced x-ray energy. PXLM structure showed a similar optical response with T-V curve that common TN mode liquid crystal cell showed according to electric field increase and in appling $50\sim100V$, it showed linear transmission efficiency of $12\sim18%$. This result suggested an application possibility of PXLM structure as radiation detector.

중공 발광 나노 물질은 특유의 구조적 특성(낮은 밀도, 높은 비표면적, 다공성 물질, 낮은 열팽창계수 등)과 광학적 성질을 이용하여 디스플레이 패널, 광결정, 약물전달체, 바이오 이미징 라벨 등의 다양한 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 적용에 있어 균일한 크기와 형태의 중공 입자는 필수 조건으로 여겨진다. 지금까지 합성된 중공 발광 입자에는 BaMgAl10O17 : Eu2+-Nd3+, Gd2O3 : Eu3+, $EuPO_4{\cdot}H_2O$과 같은 것들이 있으나 크기 조절이 어렵고, 그 균일성이 확보되지 못하였다. 균일한 크기의 중공 발광 입자를 만들기 위해 SiO2나 emulsion을 템플릿으로 이용하여 황화카드뮴, 카드뮴 셀레나이드 중공 입자를 합성한 예가 있으나, 양자점의 독성으로 인하여 바이오분야 응용에는 적합하지 않다. YAG는 모체로써 형광체에서 가장 많이 이용되는 물질로, 화학적 안정성과 낮은 독성, 높은 양자 효율 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 특히 세륨이 도핑된 YAG형광체의 경우 WLED, 신틸레이터, 바이오산업에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 지금까지 중공 YAG:Ce3+형광체를 합성한 예가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 단분산 수화 알루미늄 (Al(OH)3) 입자 위에 세륨이 도핑 된 이트륨 베이직 카보네이트 ($Y(OH)CO_3$)를 균일하게 코팅한 후 열처리를 하여 균일한 크기의 Y3Al5O12:Ce3+(YAG) 중공 입자를 합성하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 고분해능 투과 전자 현미경(HRTEM), X-선 회절(XRD), 고분해능 에너지 분광법(HREDX) 분석결과, 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자는 Kirkendall 효과에 의해 형성됨을 확인하였다. 전계방사형 주사 전자 현미경(FE-SEM) 측정을 통해, 열처리 후에도 입자의 크기와 형태가 균일함을 확인하였으며, 공초점 현미경 관찰을 통해 중공 형태를 명확히 확인 할 수 있었다. Photoluminescence (PL) 분광법과 형광 수명 이미징 현미경(FLIM)을 이용한 광 특성 분석결과, 합성된 입자는 400-500 nm에서 흡수 파장 (456 nm에서 최대 강도)과 500-700 nm 범위의 발광 파장(544 nm에서 최대 강도)을 나타냈고, 상용 YAG: Ce3+(70 ns)에 준하는 74 ns의 잔광 시간(decay time)이 측정되었다. 단분산 수화 알루미늄 입자의 크기를 조절하여 최종 합성된 YAG: Ce3+의 크기를 조절할 수 있었다. 지름 약 600 nm의 Al(OH)3를 사용한 경우, $1,300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 한 후 평균 지름 590 nm의 중공입자를 합성하였고, 약 170 nm의 Al(OH)3를 이용하여, 더 낮은 온도인 $1,100^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리를 통해 평균지름 140 nm의 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자를 합성하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 합성된 균일한 크기의 YAG 중공입자는 LED와 같은 광전변환 소자 및 다기능성 바이오 이미징 등의 나노바이오 소자 분야에 활용될 수 있음이 기대된다.
