The microstructure and electrical properties of the $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistor ceramics, which are composed of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxides, were investigated with $Tb_4O_7$ amount. The varistor ceramics exhibited very high densification based on increasing density in the range of $5.73{\sim}5.85g/cm^3$ as $Tb_4O_7$ amount is increased. The calculated nonlinear exponent( ${\alpha}$ ) in varistor ceramics without $Tb_4O_7$ was only 8.9, whereas the ${\alpha}$ value of the varistor ceramics with $Tb_4O_7$ was abruptly increased in the range of 18.6 to 42.0. In particular, the maximum value(42.0) of ${\alpha}$ was obtained by doping of 1.0 mol% $Tb_4O_7$. The measured leakage current($I_{\ell}$) in varistor ceramics without $Tb_4O_7$ was $40.1{\mu}A$, whereas the $I{\ell}$ value of the varistors with $Tb_4O_7$ was very abruptly decreased below $5{\mu}A$. It is estimated that $Tb_4O_7$ additives will is applied usefully in development of varistors possessing high performance.

The Microstructure and nonlinear electrical properties of the ZPCCYT (ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3$-$Y_2O_3$-$Tb_4O_7$) varistors were investigated for different amounts of $Tb_4O_7$. The addition of $Tb_4O_7$ has a significant effect on microstructure and electrical properties. Analysis of the microstructure indicated that the ceramics consisted of ZnO grain as a main phase and a few secondary phases as a mix of $Pr_6O_{11}$, $Y_2O_3$, and $Tb_4O_7$. As the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ increased, the sintered densities of pellets increased from $\rho$ = 5.70 to $5.78g/cm^3$ and the average grain size decreased from d = 4.8 to $3.6{\mu}m$. The increase in the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ increased from $E_B$ = 7,473 to 10,035 V/cm and from ${\alpha}$ = 39.7 to 52.2. In particular, it was found that the ceramics modified with 1.0 mol% in the amount of $Tb_4O_7$ are suited for the varistors for high voltage in the light of a high sintered density and a high voltage gradient.

The microstructure and electrical properties of $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistors consisting of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxides were investigated with $Tb_4O_7$ content in the range of 0.25~1.0 mol%. The varistor ceramics exhibited very high densification in the range of 5.74~5.83g/$cm^3$ with increasing $Tb_4O_7$ content. Furthermore, the incorporation of $Tb_4O_7$ in varistor ceramics $Tb_4O_7$greatly increased All of the characteristic parameters. As a result, It was found that $Tb_4O_7$-added varistors are good for high voltage field.

Using the Micro-Pulling Down (${\mu}$-PD), $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ co-doped crack-free stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals were grown in 1.0 mm diameter and 25-30 mm length for c-axis. The homogeneous distributions of $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ concentration were confirmed by the Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). Also, the infrared OH absorption band of the single crystals observed by using a Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR) at room temperature and the photoluminescence spectra was measured with respect to the $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ doping.

$Tb^{3+}$ or $Eu^{3+}$ or $Ce^{3+}$-doped $CaYAlO_4$ phosphor were synthesized by solid-state method. $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ is shown that the $Tb^{3+}$-doping concentration has a significant effect on the $^5D_4/^5D_3{\rightarrow}7F_J$ (J=6,...,0) emission intensity of $Tb^{3+}$. The $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ phosphors show tunable photoluminescence from blue to yellow with the change of doping concentration of $Tb^{3+}$ ions. The $CaYAlO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors exhibit a red-orange emission of $Eu^{3+}$ corresponding to $^5D_0$, $_{1,2}{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ (J=4,...,0) transitions. The $CaYAlO_4:Ce^{3+}$ phosphors show a blue emission due to $Ce^{3+}$ ions transitions from the 5d excited state to the $^2F_{5/2}$ and $^2F_{7/2}$ ground states. The decay time of $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ phosphors decrease from 1.33 ms to 0.97 ms as $Tb^{3+}$ concentration increases from 0.1 mol% to 7 mol%. The decay time of $CaYAlO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors increase from 0.94 ms to 1.17 ms as $Eu^{3+}$ concentration increases from 1 mol% to 9 mol%.

The microstructure and electrical properties of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxide-based varistors were investigated for different $Tb_4O_7$ amounts. As the $Tb_4O_7$ amount increased, the average grain size decreased from 7.7 to $4.8{\mu}m$ and the sintered density increased from 5.73 to $5.84g/cm^3$. As the $Tb_4O_7$ amount increased, the varistor voltage increased from 280.9 to 715.8V/mm and the nonlinear coefficient increased from 26.4 to 44.4. It is assumed that these varistors can be applied for high power with compact size.

In this study, we have screened $Eu^{3+}$- and $Tb^{3+}$-activated candidate phosphors for PDP in the sys-tems of CaO-Gd$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$ by combinatorial chemistry and investigated the synthetic temperature, optimum com-position and luminescent properties about the candidate phosphors. To construct the emission intensity library by VUV PL, we have synthesized 210 different compositional samples using a polymerized-complex method. Good luminescent samples were identified by X-ray diffraction method. $Ca_$\alpha$$G$d_{0.95-$\alpha$-$\beta$}Al_$\beta$O_$\delta$$ : Eu(0.02< $\alpha$+$\beta$ <0.04) phos-phors screened as a red phosphor have good color purity than commercial phosphor. In the candidate phosphors of CaGdAl$_3O_7$ : Tb, Ca$Al_{12}O_{19}$ : Tb, Gd$_4$Al$_2O_9$ : Tb, and Gd$_3Al_5O_{12}$ : Tb CaGdAl$_3O_7$ : Tb, and Ca$Al_{12}O_{19}$ : Tb have shorter decay time than commercial phosphor.

The varistor properties of the ZPCCT-based ceramics, which are composed of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxides, were investigated with $Tb_4O_7$ content in the range of $0.0{\sim}1.0\;mol%$. As $Tb_4O_7$ content is increased, the ZPCCT-based ceramics exhibited very high densification based on increasing density in the range of $5.73{\sim}5.84\;g/cm^3$. The varitor voltage($V_{1mA}$) and nonlinear exponent($\alpha$) was increased in the range of 280.9 to 751.8 and 29.8 to 44.4 with increasing $Tb_4O_7$ content, respectively. In particular, the maximum $\alpha$ of 44.4 was obtained from 1.0 mol% $Tb_4O_7$ and the, minimum leakage current($I_{\ell}$) of $1.0\;{\mu}A$ was obtained from 0.5 mol% $Tb_4O_7$.

Three-dimensional terbium coordination polymers with the formulas of [Tb4(NDC)6(H2O)5]${\cdot}$2H2O (1) and [Tb2(BPDC)3(H2O)3]${\cdot}$H2O (2) (NDC = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate; BPDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxy-late) were prepared by hydrothermal reactions. Both compounds were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 has a polymeric structure that contains four distinct Tb metals. Three Tb metals have a square-antiprismatic structure, and the remaining one has a 9-coordinate, triply capped trigonal-prismatic structure. Compound 2 is also a polymer with two distinct Tb metals, both of which have a square-antiprismatic structure. The pyridine nitrogen atoms of the BPDC 2- ligand do not coordinate to the metal centers in compound 2.

In $ABCO_4$ and $ABC_3O_7$ (A=Ca, Sr; B=Y, Rare earth; C=Al, Ga), random distribution of static crystalline fields in activator sites results in inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines of luminescent materials. In this study, we investigated luminescent properties of above-mentioned materials by excitation and emission spectra. In result, both $ABCO_4$:Tb and $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors emit the green light. $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors absorbed shorter wavelength energy than $ABCO_4$ phosphors so that the emission efficiencies of $ABC_3O_7$:Tb phosphors were higher than those of $ABCO_4$:Tb phosphors under vacuum UV.
