Blue phosphor calcium aluminate, $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ co-doped with $Nd^{3+}$ was prepared by solid state synthesis method. Phosphor materials with 1 mol% $Eu^{2+}$ and varying compositions of $Nd^{3+}$ show high brightness and long persistent luminescence. The synthesized phosphor materials were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM, photoluminescence excitation and emission studies. Broad band UV excited luminescence of the $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}:Nd^{3+}$ was observed in the blue region (${\lambda}_{max}=440\;nm$) due to transitions from the $4f^65d^1$ to the $4f^7$ configuration of the $Eu^{2+}$ ion. $Nd^{3+}$ ion doping in the phosphor results in long afterglow phosphorescence when the excitation light is cut off.

매우 작은 이득 매질 안에 높은 농도의 레이저 이온을 도핑하여 공진기의 길이를 수 3m 이내로 대폭 축소하였으면서도 기존의 고체 레이저보다 효율적이며, 소형화된 마이크로 칩 레이저에 관한 연구는 최근 여러 연구진에 의해 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기존의 YAG는 열 전달 계수가 크며, 역학적, 광학적, 화학적 성질이 모두 매우 우수한 레이저 매질로 평가되어왔으나 대표적인 레이저 이온인 Nd이온과 비교하여 Yttrium이온의 크기가 커서 도핑 농도를 높이는데 한계를 가지고 있다. (중략)

The phase matching conditions of the new optical crystal grown by Czochralski pulling method, YCOB($YCa_4O(BO_3)_3$) with wavelength were suggested, and the second harmonic generation efficiency for the fundamental of Nd:YAG laser of 1064 nm was investigated. The variation of nonlinearity with rare earth ion doping was also investigated by measuring the second harmonic generation efficiencies of $Yb^{3+}$ + $Nd^{3+}$and ion doped YCOBs.

A new laser material, Nd:LSB $(Nd${3}:LaSc_3(BO_3)_4$, lanthanum scandium borate), of microchip type was grown by the Czochralski pulling method, and tested for optical and lasing properties. Nd:LSB, able to be highly doped with $Nd^{3+}$ ions while maintaining good optical, chemical, mechanical properties, was compared to another Nd-type laser material. The absorption and fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence lifetime were measured, and the crystal structure was analyzed. The lasing characteristics were investigated by using Ti:sapphire laser as a pumping light source.

The Y1.99-xMxCe0.01SiO5(M=Li, La, Nd, and Gd) phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1350oC for 10h under reducing atmosphere in order to improve properties of blue emitting phosphors. Compared with commercial blue phosphors, the Y2SiO5:Ce blue phosphors substituted with various elements showed significant enhancement of the emission intensity. Particularly, 1 mol% Li doped Y2SiO5:Ce phosphors indicated the maximum emission intensity in the photoluminescence spectra. Thanks to SEM analyses revealed that the morphology of Y2SiO5:(Ce,Li) blue phosphors was a pseudo-spherical with particle size of 3m.

The energy transfer process between GaN and Nd ions as well as Mg codoping effect were investigated in Nd-implanted GaN films. Photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectroscopies were performed on $^4F_{3/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{9/2}$ Nd ionic level transition. At least three below bandgap traps were identified in the energy transfer process. The number of one particular trap, which is assigned to be an isoelectronic Nd trap, is increased with the Mg-codoping. The emission efficiency with above gap excitation, which emulates the electrical excitation, is further increased in GaN:Mg,Nd.

In recent days, the study of a new phosphorescent phosphor has been performed in order to overcome the defect of sulfide phosphor and increase the brightness and long after-glow characteristic of phosphorescent phosphor. Particularly, sulfide phosphor usually used is so chemically unstable that the study of oxide phosphors are processing. $Eu^{2+}$, $Nd^{3+}$ doped Ba-Al-O phosphors sintered at $600{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ for 2hours had the PL emission spectrum and after-glow over $1200^{\circ}C$. In this system, as the mole concentration of alumina increases, emission bands of phosphors moved from 500nm to 380nm. The optimum concentration of flux was 5wt% and after-glow characteristics of phosphors were found at the host material molar ratio ($BaCO_{3}:Al_{2}O_{3}$), 1:1 and 1:3.

Layered $LiNi_{0.83}Co_{0.11}Mn_{0.06}O_2$ cathode materials single- and dual-doped by the rare-earth elements Ce and Nd are successfully fabricated by using a coprecipitation-assisted solid-phase method. For comparison purposes, non-doping pristine $LiNi_{0.83}Co_{0.11}Mn_{0.06}O_2$ cathode material is also prepared using the same method. The crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) mapping, and electrochemical techniques. The XRD data demonstrates that all prepared samples maintain a typical ${\alpha}-NaFeO_2$-layered structure with the R-3m space group, and that the doped samples with Ce and/or Nd have lower cation mixing than that of pristine samples without doping. The results of SEM and EDS show that doped elements are uniformly distributed in all samples. The electrochemical performances of all doped samples are better than those of pristine samples without doping. In addition, the Ce/Nd dual-doped cathode material shows the best cycling performance and the least capacity loss. At a 10 C-rate, the electrodes of Ce/Nd dual-doped cathode material exhibit good capacity retention of 72.7, 58.5, and 45.2% after 100, 200, and 300 cycles, respectively, compared to those of pristine samples without doping (24.4, 11.1, and 8.0%).
