Microwave dielectric properties of $(1-x)CaWO_4-xYNbO_4$ ceramics have been investigated as a function of $YNbO_4$ content($0.05{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$). A single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure was obtained up to x=0.10 and then the secondary phase with fergusonite structure was increased. With the increase of $YNbO_4$ content, apparent densities of the specimens were decreased. This results were due to the lower theoretical density of $YNbO_4(5.581g/cm^3)$ than that of $CaWO_4(6.117g/cm^3)$. Dielectric constant(K) and quality factor(Qf) were decreased with $YNbO_4$ content which could be attribute to the decrease of density and the increase of secondary phase. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of the specimens with the $YNbO_4$ content was depended on dielectric mixing rule.

The luminescence behaviors of Yttrium niobate and Bi doped Yttrium niobate were investigated under UV and low voltage electron excitations and interpreted with the first-principle calculations. In the UV excitation and emission spectra of $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$, we were able to separate host contribution and Bi contribution and found that the shift in emission peak to longer wavelength is mainly due to Bi contribution. Using density functional theory, the cluster calculations were carried out for both $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$. From the calculated density of states, we were also able to explain the charge transfer gap in the host and the effect of Bi in the excitation and emission spectra theoretically.

Field emission display (FED) is currently being explored as a potential flat panel display technology. The need of new materials for low voltage blue phosphors for FED focused our attention on the $Y_2O_3-Nb_2O_5$ sys-tem. Yttrium niobate doped with $Bi^{3+}$ was prepared by solid state reaction technique and the optimization of the luminescent properties with a control of $Bi^{3+}$ amounts and Y/Nb ratio was studied. Under 254 nm and low voltage electron excitations $Bi^{3+}-activated$ YNbO4 phosphors showed a strong and relatively narrow blue em-ission band with a range of 420 to 450 nm, Especially 0.4wt% $Bi^{3+}\;doped\;YNbO_4$ phosphors with Y/Nb ratio of 1/1 showed the maximum emission intensity. Under low voltage electron excitation maximum emission in-tensity appeared at the Y/Nb ratio of 0.495/0.505.

기존의 고상 반응법에 의해 합성된 YNbO4 : Bi 형광체의 발광특성을 개선하기 위하여 B2O3 융체 첨가법으로 형광체를 합성하고, 빛발광(PL) 및 저전압 음극선발광(CL)을 측정하였다. PL 및 CL 모두 415~440 nm 영역에서 강한 청색 발광 스펙트럼을 나타냈으며, 고상 반응의 경우와 마찬가지로 Y/Nb 비율이 화학 양론상의 1:1인 경우보다 결함구조를 인위적으로 조절한 51/49나 54/46에서 최대의 발광강도를 보였다. 한편, 고상 반응에서는 125$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 열처리하는 것이 최대의 발광효과를 나타냈으나, B2O3융제를 첨가하고 110$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 시료가 결정성이 좋고 입자의 크기 및 형태가 균일하여 PL뿐만 아니라 CL에서도 우수한 발광특성을 보였다. B2O3융제를 첨가하는 방법으로 열처리 온도를 낮추고 입자크기와 형태를 조절하여 형광체의 휘도를 개선할 수 있었다.

In the excitation spectra of $YNbO_4$ : $Eu^{3+}$, the charge transfer (CT) band around 270 nm due to $[NbO_4]^{3-}$$-Eu^{3+}$ interaction and sharp excitation peaks by f-f transition of $Eu^{3+}$ strongly appeared simultaneously. CT band depended on the structural properties of powders, showing the red-shift with increasing the crystallinity, while the f-f transition peaks were independent of the crystallinity. For $YNb_{1-x}Ta_xO_4$ : $Eu^{3+}$ (x = 0.05.0.2), $[TaO_4]^{3-}$. configuration was locally constructed, leading to the blue-shift in CT band and the decrease in the red emission intensity with increasing the Ta content.

$YNbO_4:Yb^{3+}/Er^{3+}$ is synthesized using a solid-state reaction process with a LiCl flux. The effects of the Er/(Yb+Er) ratios ($R_{Er}$) on the up-conversion (UC) and down-conversion (DC) spectra are investigated. The XRD data confirm that the $Yb^{3+}$ and $Er^{3+}$ ions are fully substituted for the $Y^{3+}$ sites. The UC emission spectra activated by 980 nm consists of green and red emission bands, which originate from the $Er^{3+}$ ions through an energy transfer (ET) process from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Er^{3+}$. The UC emission intensity depends on the $R_{Er}$ value, and the findings demonstrate that $R_{Er}{\leq}0.14$ is suitable for an effective UC process. The DC emission spectra under 269 nm radiation of the synthesized powders exhibits not only a strong blue emission assigned to the $[NbO_4]^{3-}$ niobates, but also green peaks that originate from the $Er^{3+}$ ions through an ET process between $[NbO_4]^{3-}$ and $Er^{3+}$.

Field emission displays (FED) are currently being explored as a potential flat panel display technology. Specifically, the optimization pf efficient bin emitting phosphors in the $Y_2O_3-Nb_2O_5$ system and influence of particle size of phosphors on the luminescent properties was studied. Under 254 nm excitation, Bi activated $YNbO_4$ phosphors showed a strong and relatively narrow blue omission band, peaking at about 420-450 nm. Especially 0.4 wt% Bi doped yttrium phosphors showed the maximum emission intensity which is almost three times as much as that of $Y_2SiO_5:Ce$ phosphors. Finally, Ce doped $Y_2SiO_5$ phosphors exhibited strong and broad blue emission band, centered at 390-420 nm and maximum emission intensity at the doping concentration of 0.02-0.03 mol.

최근에 우수한 광학적 특성과 높은 화학적 안정성을 갖는 적황색 형광체 개발에 많은 노력이 경주되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고상반응법을 사용하여 모체 결정 $YNbO_4$에 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$이온의 농도를 각각 체계적으로 치환 고용하여 발광 효율이 높은 적색과 황색 형광체를 제조하였다. 특히, $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$이온의 농도를 달리하여 합성한 형광체 분말의 결정구조, 표면형상, 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼을 비교 분석하여 최적의 이온 농도를 조사하였다. 합성된 형광체 분말의 회절상은 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Dy^{3+}$이온의 함량비에 관계없이 모든 형광체 분말 시료는 약 $28,6^{\circ}$ 에서 최대값을 갖는 (021)면에서 발생하였고, 형광체 분말은 JCPDS #72-2077에 제시된 회절상과 일치하는 단사정계 결정 구조임을 확인 하였다. $Dy^{3+}$이온의 함량비가 0.01 mol에서 주 회절 피크의 세기는 최대이었으며, 함량비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 회절 피크의 세기는 점점 감소하였다. 이에 반하여, $Eu^{3+}$가 도핑된 형광체는 함량비가 0.15 mol일때 최대 회절피크가 관측되었다. $Dy^{3+}$이온이 도핑된 $YNbO_4$ 형광체의 경우에 두 종류의 흡광 스펙트럼이 관측되었다. 첫째는 약 267 nm를 피크로 하여 230~300 nm 영역에 걸쳐 폭넓게 분포하는 흡광 스펙트럼이고, 두 번째는 약 356, 393, 456 nm에 피크를 갖는 상대적으로 세기가 약하고 밴드폭이 좁은 흡광 스펙트럼이 관측되었다. $Eu^{3+}$이온이 도핑된 형광체 분말의 주 흡광 스펙트럼은 약 270 nm에 피크를 갖는 폭넓게 분포하는 전하전달 밴드이었다. $YNbO_4$ 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 $Eu^{3+}$이온이 도핑된 경우에 620 nm에 강한 세기를 갖는 적색 발광이 관측되었고, $Dy^{3+}$이온이 도핑된 경우에는 580 nm에 최대 발광세기를 갖는 황색 발광 스펙트럼이 나타났다.
