Sulfurization of rare-earth oxides R203 (R=Nd, Eu) using sulfurizing reagents, such as $H_2S$ and $SC_2$was examined for the sulfide magnetic separation of spent fuel. $EU_2O_3$was found to react with H$_3$S gas forming the mixture of $EU_2O_2S$ and EuS at 500 oC, while EuS was formed by $SC_2$ at 800 oC. In the case of the mixture of $R_2O_3$and $UO_2$, EuS and $ND_3S_4$ were formed as well as $EU_2O_2S$ and $Nd_2O_2S$ at 500oC in $H_2S$, though $UO_2$ remained unreacted.

The red emitting phosphors for low voltage cathode luminescent, fine $(Y,Gd)_2O_2$S : Eu powders were synthesized and investigated the effect of $Gd^{3+}$as sensitizer at variety of sintering temperature. The highly intense emission line of $(Y,Gd)_2O_2$S : Eu at 627 nm is attributed in the transition from $^5D_o to ^7F_2$ energy levels. It showed the maximum value at the doping level of 5 mole% of $Gd^{3+}$at $950^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature and then, it was degraded rapidly. The mean particle size of $(Y,Gd)_2O_2$S : Eu was obtained around 1 fm and the cathode luminescent properties of (Y,Gd)$_2$O$_2$S : Eu were better than those of $(Y,Gd)_2O_2$S : Eu.

$Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphors were synthesized via solid-state reactions. $Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphor particles of various sizes were obtained by varying the firing temperature and firing time. The photoluminescence properties of these $Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphors were examined. In addition, the cathodoluminescence properties of the $Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphors were examined for applied voltages of 3-8 kV. The relationship between the luminescence intensity and particle size of the$Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphors was investigated. The photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence of the $Y_2O_2S$:Eu phosphors are affected differently by variations in particle size.

Sulfurization reaction characteristics of $Eu_2O_3$, uranium oxides($UO_2$, $U_3O_8$), mixture of $Eu_2O_3$ and uranium oxides, Eu-doped uranium oxides($(U,Eu)O_2$, $(U,Eu)_3O_8$), and phase-separated products prepared by HOX (High temperature OXidation) of $(U,Eu)O_2$ were investigated in the temperature range from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$. Only $Eu_2O_3$ in the mixture of $Eu_2O_3$ and uranium oxides was converted into $Eu_3S_4$ by sulfurization reaction at $450^{\circ}C$ without reaction between them. Sulfurization reaction behavior of $(U,Eu)_3O_8$ and $(U,Eu)O_2$ up to $600^{\circ}C$ was similar to $U_3O_8$ and $UO_2$, respectively, while they were sulfurized into Eu-rich $(U,Eu)S_x$ and ${\alpha}-US_2$ at $800^{\circ}C$. In the sulfurization of RE-rich $(U,Eu)_4O_9$ and $U_3O_8$ prepared by high temperature oxidation, it was confirmed that RE-rich $(U,Eu)S_x$ and UOS phases were formed at $600^{\circ}C$. For Eu-rich $(U,Eu)O_2$ and $UO_2$ prepared by reduction of HOX products, it was identified that Eu-rich (U,Eu)OS was formed at $450^{\circ}C$ by sulfurization of Eu-rich $(U,Eu)O_2$, while $UO_2$ remained unreacted.

$Ba_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ ($B_2S:Eu^{2+}$) powders were prepared by firing the dry gel obtained by the sol-gel and the hybrid process (sol-gel and combustion), respectively, and their structure and luminescence were investigated. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was used as a Si source. The phase transition was observed with the TEOS content. With 1.2M TEOS, the powders prepared by the sol-gel process without prior calcination were composed of the $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$ single phase, whereas those by the sol-gel and the hybrid process with prior calcination consisted of the dominant $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$ and minor $BaSiO_3:Eu^{2+}$ ($BS:Eu^{2+}$) phases and their emission intensities were approximately two times higher than those without prior calcination. The hybrid process could reduce the process time innovatively compared to the sol-gel process, even though the former was a little inferior to the latter in the emission intensity of $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$. With 1.1M TEOS, the $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$ single phase was obtained by the hybrid process, and its green emission was observed at 505 nm originated from the $4f^65d^1{\rightarrow}4f^7$ transition of $Eu^{2+}$ ions.

SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu is a green emitting phosphor which is applied for field emission display, and cathodoluminescence. Conventionally, SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu is synthesized by solid state reaction, in which a mixture of SrCO$_3$, Ga$_2$O$_3$, and Eu$_2$O$_3$ is fired at high temperatures under flowing H$_2$S and Ar gases. In this study,SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu phosphor is synthesized by using a decomposition method, where SrS, Eu complex, and Ga com-plex are used. The advantage of this method is that toxic H$_2$S gas and Ar gas are not used. The synthetic con-ditions and luminescent properties of SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu phosphor are also investigated.

Using the $PbO-B_2O_3-Bi_2O_3$ flux system, $(TbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(TbIG)$, $(EuBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuIG)$ and $(EuTbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuTbIG)$ films were grown on $(GdCa)_3(GaMgZr)_5O_{12}(SGGG)$ substrates by the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The saturation magnetization of the grown TbIG, EuIG and EuTbIG films was about 150, 950 and 125 Oe, respectively. The TbIG films resulted in the single magnetic domain while the EuIG and EuTbIG films were observed to be the multi magnetic domains by magnetic force microscope (MFM).

$BaMg_2Al_16O_27:Eu,\SrGa_2S_4:Eu$, and ZnCdS:Ag,Cl phosphors were chosen to produce blue, green, and red emissions, respectively, under excitation from a violet light emitting diode (LED). A four-band white LED was obtained by a combination of nonabsorbed violet emission from a violet LED and blue, green, and red emissions from $BaMg_2Al_16O_27:Eu,\SrGa_2S_4:Eu$, and ZnCdS:Ag,Cl phosphors. The luminescent properties of the four-band white LED were also discussed.

$La_2W_3O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction method. The crystal structure was characterized by XRD pattern and ICSD card (78180). Luminescence properties of $La_2W_3O_{12}:Eu^{3+}$ are investigated by optical and laser-excitation spectroscopy in which emission and excitation spectra and time-resolved spectra are measured. The 1 mol % $Eu^{3+}$-doped $La_2W_3O_{12}$ phosphor exhibits broad excitation band peaking at 286 nm due to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer transition. The excitation lines due to the $^7F_0{\rightarrow}{^5D_4},{^5D_4},{^5L_6},{^5G_4},{^5D_3},{^5D_2}$ transitions of $Eu^{3+}$ are observed in the wavelength region 350-500 nm. The strong line emission is observed at 618 nm corresponding to the due to the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ transition. The lifetime of 618 nm emission decreases with increasing temperature as 7 K ($114{\mu}s$), 100 K ($94{\mu}s$), 200 K ($10{\mu}s$) and 300 K ($0.5{\mu}s$).

$Y_2O_2S:Eu$ phosphors with fine particle have been synthesized by citric acid-gel method. In this method, $Na_2S_2O_3$ was added to $Y_2O_3S:Eu$ precursor, then the mixture was fired at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3h in $S_2$ atmosphere. When the $Y_2O_3S:Eu$ precursor was pre-annealed at $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ before the firing of the mixture, the fine particles with a diameter of around 1 ${\mu}m$ were obtained after the firing. The phosphor pre-annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ showed a luminance and CIE color coordinates of 2350 $cd/m^2$ and (0.61, 0.37), respectively, at under excitation of 3 kV and $60{\mu}A/cm^2$.
