Polycrystalline samples of $(R_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-z}$ (R = Lu and Y) were synthesized by a solid-state reaction route, and the phase stabilities were examined by heating at temperatures between $800^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ in various atmospheres. A comparative analyses of the x-ray diffraction data of the $(Lu_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-z}$ and $(Y_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-z}$ compounds showed that the 123 phase of both compounds is stable under heating in air and $O_2$ of 1 atm. However, contrary to the $(Y_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-z}$ compound, the $(Lu_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})Ba_2Cu_3O_z$ compound was found to become unstable when heated in the low oxygen partial pressure below about 8 % $O_2\;in\;N_2$, Considering the instability of parent $LuBa_2Cu_3O_z$ compound, this result suggests that the phase stability of Lu-based 123 compounds is sensitive to both the composition and the oxygen partial pressure.

$Si^{4+}-N^{3-}$ was incorporated into $Ce^{3+}-doped$ lutetium aluminum garnet ($Lu_{2.965}Ce_{0.035}Al_5O_{12}$, $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$) lattices, resulting in the formation of $Lu_{2.965}Ce_{0.035}Al_{5-x}Si_xO_{12-x}N_x$ [(Lu,Ce)AG:xSN]. For x = 0-0.25, the synthesized powders consisted of the LuAG single phase, and the lattice constant decreased owing to the smaller $Si^{4+}$ ions. However, for x > 0.25, a small amount of unknown impurity phases was observed, and the lattice constant increased. Under 450 nm excitation, the PL spectrum of $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$ exhibited the green band, peaking at 505 nm. The incorporation of $Si^{4+}-N^{3-}$ into the $Al^{3+}-O^{2-}$ sites of $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$ led to a red-shift of the emission peak wavelength from 505 to 570 nm with increasing x. Corresponding CIE chromaticity coordinates varied from the green to yellow regions. These behaviors were discussed based on the modification of the $5d^1$ split levels and crystal field surroundings of $Ce^{3+}$, which arose from the Ce-(O,N)8 bonds.

A novel $Ce^{3+}$ doped $Lu_3MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor ($Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$) was successfully synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. The crystal structure of the synthesized phosphor powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The prepared phosphor powder showed a broad peak at 550 nm, and the temperature dependence on photoluminescence properties of the prepared $Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor was investigated from 300 to 525 K. The activation energy for thermal quenching was determined by Arrhenius fitting. The experimental results clearly indicate that prepared $Lu_{2.94}Ce_{0.06}MgAl_3SiO_{12}$ phosphor has great potential for a down-conversion yellow phosphor in white light-emitting diodes.

$Lu(Nb,Ta)O_4:Eu^{3+}$ powders are synthesized by a solid-state reaction process using LiCl and $Li_2SO_4$ fluxes. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra of the synthesized powders consist of broad bands at approximately 270 nm and sharp peaks in the near ultraviolet region, which are assigned to the $Nb^{5+}-O^{2-}$ charge transfer of $[NbO_4]^{3-}$ niobates and the f-f transition of $Eu^{3+}$, respectively. The PL emission spectra exhibit red peaks assigned to the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ transitions of $Eu^{3+}$. The strongest peak is obtained at 614 nm ($^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$), indicating that the $Eu^{3+}$ ions are incorporated into the $Lu^{3+}$ asymmetric sites. The addition of fluxes causes the increase in emission intensity, and $Li_2SO_4$ flux is more effective for enhancement in emission intensity than is LiCl flux. The substitution of $Ta^{5+}$ for $Nb^{5+}$ results in an increase or decrease in the emission intensity of $LuNb_{1-x}Ta_xO_4:Eu^{3+}$ powders, depending on amount and kind of flux. The findings are explained using particle morphology, modification of the $[NbO_4]^{3-}$ structure, formation of substructure of $LuTaO_4$, and change in the crystal field surrounding the $Eu^{3+}$ ions.

The Tb³⁺ or Eu³⁺-doped Lu₂Gd₁Ga₂Al₃O₁₂ phosphor were fabricated by funace at 1500 ℃ for 12 h using a solid state reaction. The XRD (X-ray diffraction_Panalytical X'Pert Pro) and FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) are measured to confirm the crystalline structure and surface morphology of the phosphor. The Tb³⁺-doped Lu₂Gd₁Ga₂Al₃O₁₂ phosphor emits the lights in 470~650 nm wavelength range due to transitions from ⁵D₄ to ⁷F_j. Therefore, it shows the green region in the CIE chromaticity diagram under both UV and X-rays excitations. The Eu³⁺-doped Lu₂Gd₁Ga₂Al₃O₁₂ phosphor emits the lights in 550~750 nm wavelength range because of ⁵D_i to ⁷F_j. The emission is confirmed to be in the red region using the CIE chromaticity diagram. The Tb³⁺ or Eu³⁺-doped Lu₂Gd₁Ga₂Al₃O₁₂ phosphor shows the characteristic f-f transition with a long decay time, which is about several milliseconds. They have the high efficiency of light emission for X-ray because of their high effective Z number (Z_eff = 58.5) and density. Therefore, they are very much promising phosphors for X-ray imaging application in medical fields.

In this paper, cerium doped lutetium pyrosilicate (LPS) powders with cerium content (0.05 and 0.07 mol%) were prepared by sol-gel process. The formation of lutetium pyrosilicate (LPS) phase was confirmed by XRD analysis for the powders heated at $1,200^{\circ}C$; in these powders, a single phase of $Lu_2Si_2O_7$ (LPS) was observed. Cerium doped lutetium pyrosilicate (LPS) powder was agglomerated and constituted of small spherical particles with diameters of about 300 nm. The photoluminescence spectra of the $Lu_2Si_2O_7:Ce^{3+}$ powders showed the characteristic of excitation and there was an emission spectrum for $Ce^{3+}$ in the host of $Lu_2Si_2O_7$. The emission spectrum shows a broad band in the range of 350-525 nm; the broad wavelength on the right side of the spectra should be ascribed to the same 5d-4f transitions of $Ce^{3+}$, as in the case of cerium doped $Lu_2Si_2O_7$ single crystals.

[ $LuFe_2O_4$ ] 단결정 시료를 floating zone법을 이용하여 합성, 결정학적 및 자기구조를 연구하였다. 결정 구조는 $R\={3}mh$의 능면체로 결정되었고, 격자 상수는 각각 $a_0=3.440(2)\;{\AA},\;c_0=25.263(2)\;{\AA}$이었다. 진동 시료 자화율 측정기(VSM) 실험결과와 $M\"{o}ssbauer$ 분석 실험결과 자기적 $N\'{e}el$ 온도($T_N$)는 250 K로 결정되었다. 12 K에서의 $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ 스펙트럼을 결정구조에서 기인한 4개 세트의 6라인 공명흡수선으로 분석하였으며, 상온에서의 $M\"{o}ssbauer$ 스펙트럼은 3개의 single과 1개의 doublet이 중첩된 형태를 보였다. 상온에서 singlet들의 이성질체 이동치는 $Fe^{3+}$의 이온 상태를 나타내는 $0.20{\pm}0.01mm/s$ 전후의 값을, doublet은 $Fe^{2+}$의 이온 상태를 나타내는 $0.70{\pm}0.01mm/s$의 값을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. 상온에서의 $Fe^{3+}$와 $Fe^{2+}$간의 면적비율은 1:1로 나타났으나, 온도가 상승함에 따라 doublet 형태가 점차 사라지다가 360 K에서는 singlet 형태의 단일 흡수선으로 나타났다. 이는 $LuFe_2O_4$물질에서 나타내는 자발분극현상이 철 이온이 가지고 있는 거동의 변화 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

Pyrochlore 구조를 갖는 $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$와 그와 유사한 구조를 갖는 화합물, $In_2(Ti_{1.7}Zn_{0.3})O_{6.7}$와 $In_2(Ti_{1.7}Mg_{0.3})O_{6.7}$에 대한 미세구조 관찰을 200kV에서 작동되는 HRTEM을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 두 화합물에서는 변조구조가 관찰되었으나 pyrochlore구조인 $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 전자회절패턴 분석에서는 변조구조는 incommensurate이고 [220] 방향으로 sublattice의 2.69배로 그 주기가 0.953 nm인 초격자가 관찰되었다. 고분해능 격자상에서는 sublattice의 2배 또는 3배의 초격자들로 조합되며 평균적으로 2.7배로 그 주기가 0.967 nm가 되는 초격자상이 관찰되었다. 두 화합물의 결정구조는 입방정 pyrochlore 구조와 아주 유사하나 입방정 축은 $90^{\circ}$에서 약간 벗어난 구조를 갖는다. 변조구조는 전자빔에 의하여 점차적으로 변조구조가 없는 구조로 비가역적으로 변환된다.

$LuNbO_4:0.2Yb^{3+},xTm^{3+}$ powders were prepared using a solid-state reaction process. The effects of the amount of Tm on up-conversion(UC) and down-conversion(DC) luminescence properties are investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns confirm that $Yb^{3+}$ and $Tm^{3+}$ ions are successfully incorporated into Lu sites. Under 980 nm excitation, the UC spectra of the powders predominantly exhibit strong near-infrared emission bands that peak at 805 nm, whereas weak 480 nm emission bands are observed as well. The emission bands are assigned to the $^1G_4{\rightarrow}^3H_6$ (480 nm) and 3 $^3H_4{\rightarrow}^3H_6$ (805 nm) transitions of the $Tm^{3+}$ ions via an energy transfer from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Tm^{3+}$; two- and three-photon UC processes are responsible for the 805 and 480 nm emissions, respectively. The DC emission spectra exhibit blue emission ($^1D_2{\rightarrow}^3F_4$) of $Tm^{3+}$ at 458 nm. The amount of Tm affects the emission intensity with the strongest emissions at x = 0.007 and 0.02 for the UC and DC luminescence, respectively. The results demonstrate that $LuNbO_4:Yb^{3+},Tm^{3+}$ phosphors are suitable for bio-applications.
