고상 반응법을 이용하여 처음으로 $Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체를 제조하고, 제조된 시료들에 대한 결정성 및 광학적 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 제조된 시료들은 모두 230~530 nm의 넓은 영역에서 효율적인 여기 특성을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 시료들 모두 568 nm에서 최대 발광 세기를 보이는데 이는 현재 상용 중인 $YAG:Ce^{3+}$에 비하여 최대 발광 세기가 약 18 nm 장파장 영역으로 이동함을 의미한다. 따라서 450 nm의 빛을 발하는 청색 LED와 결합하면, $YAG:Ce^{3+}$를 사용하여 상용화된 기존의 백색광보다 보다 따듯한 느낌의 백색광원용 형광체로 활용될 수 있으리라 판단한다. 또한 질소의 원료 물질로 사용된 $Si_3N_4$의 분말크기가 마이크론인 경우에 광활성 이온인 $Eu^{2+}$가 첨가되지 않아도 모체발광이 일어난다는 것을 처음으로 알게 되었다.

We have synthesized bluish-green, highly-efficient $BaSi_2O_2N_2:Eu^{2+}$ and $(Ba,Sr)Si_2O_2N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors through a conventional solid state reaction method using metal carbonate, $Si_3N_4$, and $Eu_2O_3$ as raw materials. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of these phosphors revealed that a $BaSi_2O_2N_2$ single phase was obtained. The excitation and emission spectra showed typical broadband excitation and emission resulting from the 5d to 4f transition of $Eu^{2+}$. These phosphors absorb blue light at around 450 nm and emit bluish-green luminescence, with a peak wavelength at around 495 nm. From the results of an experiment involving Eu concentration quenching, the relative PL intensity was reduced dramatically for Eu = 0.033. A small substitution of Sr in place of Ba increased the relative emission intensity of the phosphor. We prepared several white LEDs through a combination of $BaSi_2O_2N_2:Eu^{2+}$, YAG:$Ce^{3+}$, and silicone resin with a blue InGaN-based LED. In the case of only the YAG:$Ce^{3+}$-converted LED, the color rendering index was 73.4 and the efficiency was 127 lm/W. In contrast, in the YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ and $BaSi_2O_2N_2:Eu^{2+}$-converted LED, two distinct emission bands from InGaN (450 nm) and the two phosphors (475-750 nm) are observed, and combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. The range of the color rendering index and the efficiency were 79.7-81.2 and 117-128 lm/W, respectively. The increased values of the color rendering index indicate that the two phosphor-converted LEDs have improved bluish-green emission compared to the YAG:Ce-converted LED. As such, the $BaSi_2O_2N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor is applicable to white high-rendered LEDs for solid state lighting.

Most commercial white LED lamps use blue chip coated with yellow emitting phosphor. The use of blue excitable red and green phosphors is expected to improve the CRI. Several phosphors, such as $SrGa_2S_4:Eu^{2+}$ and $(Sr,Ba)SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$, have been suggested in the past as green components. However, there are issues of the sensitivity and stability of such phosphors. Here, we describe gallium substituted $YAG:Ce^{3+}$ phosphor, as a green emitter. YAG structures are already accepted by the industry, for their stability and efficiency. LEDs with improved CRI could be fabricated by choosing $Y_3Al_4GaO_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ (green and yellow), and $SrS:Eu^{2+}$ (red) phosphors, along with blue chip. Also, the effect of a slight change in chip wavelength is studied, for two phosphor-coated w-LEDs. The reduction in particle size of the coated phosphors also gives improved w-LED characteristics.

본 논문에서는 YAG:Ce와 $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO4:Eu$ 등 두 종류의 형광체를 사용하여 백색 LED를 제작하고 온도변화에 따라 각각의 백색 LED의 발광 특성이 어떻게 변하는지 조사하였다. 상온에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 사이의 구간에서 측정된 두 백색 LED의 발광 스펙트럼을 분석하기 위해 asymmetric double sigmoidal 함수를 활용하였다. 이 함수를 백색 LED의 청색 발광 및 황색 발광 피크에 적용해서 각 피크의 중심파장과 진폭, 반치폭 및 비대칭성을 온도의 함수로 구하였다. 그 결과 온도가 증가할수록 청색 피크의 중심파장이 장파장 쪽으로 천이되고 황색피크의 중심파장이 단파장 쪽으로 천이되며 비대칭성 또한 증가한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 두 백색 LED의 색도변화에 반영되었는데, 실리케이트계 형광체 기반 LED의 색도 변화가 더 큼을 알 수 있었다. 발광효율 역시 온도가 증가할수록 크게 떨어지는 것을 볼 수 있었는데 YAG 형광체 기반 LED의 발광효율 저하 폭이 더 적음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과는 YAG 형광체 기반 백색 LED가 실리케이트계 형광체 기반 LED에 비해 색도안정성, 발광효율, 연색지수 측면에서 더 뛰어나다는 것을 의미한다.

We have investigated luminescence properties of Ln-SiAlON materials doped with $Ce^{3+}$. Low-energy 4f${\leftrightarrow}$5d transitions were observed as compared to the luminescence of this ion doped in oxidic host-lattices.$^1$ Ce-doped Y-a-SiAlON show bright long wavelength luminescence with high absorption for 305 and 455nm excitation. In our experiment, the sintering temperature of this material(1400$^{\circ}C$) was lower than that of normal sintering temperature (1700$^{\circ}C$). However, Single phase of SiAlON was not composed we observed the YAG phase.

유기발광소자는 고휘도, 넓은 시야각, 빠른 응답속도, 높은 색재현성, 좋은 유연성의 소자 특성 때문에 디스플레이 제품에 많이 응용되고 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 최근에 저소비전력, 고휘도, 소형화 및 장수명의 장점을 가진 유기발광소자의 상용화가 진행되면서 차세대 디스플레이소자로서 관심을 끌게 되었다. 최근에는 고효율의 장점을 가지는 무기 형광체와 양자점을 이용한 백색 유기발광 소자에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으나 색 안정성이 좋지 않은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 적색 빛을 방출하는 CdSe/ZnS 양자점과 녹색 빛을 방출하는 YAG:Ce3+ 무기 형광체를 포함하는 polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)를 색변환층으로 이용하여 청색 유기발광소자에 결합한 백색 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. CdSe/ZnS 양자점과 YAG:Ce3+ 무기 형광체의 광흡수대역은 250 nm에서 500 nm이므로 470 nm의 청색 발광소자의 청색 빛을 흡수하여 색변환층에서 재 발광할 때 색 변환 결과를 무기 형광체와 양자점의 여러 가지 혼합 비율에 따라 전계발광 스펙트럼을 통해 관측하였다. 또한, 전압을 12 V 에서 16 V까지 변화하였을 때 색좌표가 (0.32, 0.34)에서 (0.30, 0.33)으로 적은 변화를 보여 높은 색안정성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 양자점과 무기 형광체를 혼합한 색변환층을 이용한 백색 유기발광소자의 색 변환 효율 증가와 색안정성에 대한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

Trivalent cerium-ion-doped $Y_3(Al,\;Ga)_5O_{12}$ nanoparticle phosphor nanoparticles were synthesized using the reverse micelle process. The Ce doped $Y_3(Al,\;Ga)_5O_{12}$ particles were obtained from nitrate solutions dispersed in the nanosized aqueous domains of a micro emulsion consisting of cyclohexane as the oil phase and poly(oxyethylene) nonylphenyl ether (Igepal CO-520) as the non-ionic surfactant. The crystallinity, morphology, and thermal properties of the synthesized $Y_3(Al,\;Ga)_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ powders were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy. The crystallinity, morphology, and chemical states of the ions were characterized; the photo-physical properties were studied by taking absorption, excitation, and emission spectra for various concentrations of cerium. The photo physical properties of the synthesized $Y_3(Al,\;Ga)_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ powders were studied by taking the excitation and emission spectra for various concentrations of cerium. The average particle size of the synthesized YAG powders was below $1{\mu}m$. Excitation spectra of the $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ and $Y_3Al_{3.97}Ga_{1.03}O_{12}$ samples were 485 nm and 475 nm, respectively. The emission spectra of the $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ and $Y_3Al_{3.97}Ga_{1.03}O_{12}$ were around 560 nm and 545 nm, respectively. $Y_3(Al,\;Ga)_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ is a red-emitting phosphor; it has a high efficiency for operation under near UV excitation, and may be a promising candidate for photonic applications.

Nd:YAG laser of 355 nm wavelength, which amounts to 3.5 eV, produced by a harmonic generator was used to create Ag metallic particles as seeds for nucleation in photosensitive glass containing $Ag^+$ and $Ce^{3+}$ . The pulse widths and frequency of the laser were 8ns and 10 Hz, respectively. For crystalline growth, heat-treatment following laser irradiation was carried out at $570^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Then, the $LiAlSi_3O^8$ crystal phase appeared in the laser irradiated lithium aluminum silicate glass. We present the effect of laser-induced nucleation compared with spontaneous nucleation by heat treatment fur crystallization in the glass.
