We investigated the photoluminescence and the crystalline properties with Ga doping concentrations (0-12 mol%) in $\textrm{Zn}_{1.98}\textrm{Mn}_{0.02}\textrm{SiO}_{4}$ green phosphors prepared by the solid state reaction. The photoluminescence was improved by a doping of Ga element in $\textrm{Zn}_{1.98}\textrm{Mn}_{0.02}(\textrm{Si_{1-x}\textrm{Ga}_{x})\textrm{O}_{4}$ phosphors which showed the highest emission intensity and good color purity in the doping concentration of x=0.08. The emission intensity of $\textrm{Zn}_{1.98}\textrm{Mn}_{0.02}(\textrm{Si_{1-x}\textrm{Ga}_{x})\textrm{O}_{4}$(x= 0.08) phosphors was increased to 7 times with increasing the sintering temperatures from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1400^{\circ}C$, showing the improved crystalline quality. The decay time was not affected by Ga doping concentrations with constant values around 24ms. It was found from SEM and PSA analyses that the phosphors were composed of a large number of small grains around 1-3$10\mu\textrm{m}$ with a small amounts of agglomerated particles above $10\mu\textrm{m}$.

Zn/sub 2-x/Mn/sub x/SiO/sub 4/ phosphors for PDP were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The effects of firing temperature, ratio of hydrogen gas to nitrogen for heat treatment and concentration of activator and co-dopants on the luminous properties have been investigated. It was found that the phosphor fabricated at 1400℃ with x = 0.002 Mn concentration had a maximum brightness. Luminous properties of a phosphor were improved when Cr/sup 3＋/ was added as a co-dopant rather than other co-dopants.

Various $Zn_{2-x}SiO_4$:xMn based green phosphors were investigated in association with a co-dopant. The co-dopant incorporated into the phosphors are believed to alter the internal energy state of $Zn_{2-x}SiO_4$ : xMn So that the improvement in their intensity could be expected. Phosphor samples were prepared using the solid state reaction therein raw powders are mixed in the acetone and successively fired at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 4 hour. The fired powders are also heated up to $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour in the reduced atmoshpere and thereby giving The fired powders are also heated up to $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour in the reduced atmosphere and thereby giving rise to conspicuous enhancement of radiative efficiency. Basically the 0.08 mole ratio of the Mn con-centrations has the maximum value of the intensity so that a co-dopant are added to this Mn con-centration. When the Mg is co-doped with Mn luminescent intensity is proven to be promoted significantly.

Green-emission intensity of a $Zn_{2-x}Mn_xSiO_4$ phosphor, which is a potential candidate as a green component in PDP device, significantly increases provided that the compound is additionally heat treated at 900$^{\circ}C$ after solid state reaction at 1300$^{\circ}C$. In order to verify origin of such an intensity enhancement after the additional heat treatment in association with the electronic and local structural change at around Mn ions, the Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectra were recorded. From the analyses of the preedge peak corresponding to $1s{\rightarrow}3d$ bound state transition and XANES spectrum, it is known that most Mn ions are in +2 oxidation state and substitute Zn ion site regardless of the thermal treatment. In addition, EXAFS analyses revealed that Mn ions formed $MnO_4$ tetrahedra with the Mn-O bond length shortened by 0.01${\AA}$ and with reduced Debye-Waller factor in the thermally treated sample.

A new green phosphor, ($Mg_{1-x-yZnx)$)$Al_2O_4:Mn^{2+}{_y}$ (0 x 0.6, 0.001 y 0.01), was synthesized by a flux-assisted solid reaction and its vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation and emission characteristics were examined in this study. The chromaticity and peak intensity of the $(Mg_{0.79}Zn_{0.2})Al_2O_4:Mn^{2+}{_{0.01}}$ (x = 0.177, y = 0.745) phosphor were found to be more desirable than that of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ (x = 0.216, y = 0.72) phosphor as a green primary color.

Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ phosphor particles having submicrometer sizes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method using methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, fumed $SiO_2$ and various Mn sources. The crystallization and photoluminescent properties of the phosphor particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and by their photoluminescence(PL) spectra. Due to the effect of the dispersion and coherence of the methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated ZnO, the Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ particles were successfully obtained by a solid state method at $1000^{\circ}C$, and the maximum PL intensity of the prepared particles under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation occurred at a Mn concentration of 0.02mol and a sintering temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$.

The demand for sub-micrometer or nanometer functional ceramic powders with a better suspension behavior in aqueous media in increasing. Redispersible barium titanate (BT) nanocrystals, green light emitting Mn2+ doped Zn$_2$SiO$_4$ and ZnS nanoparticle phosphors were synthesized by a hydrothermal method or chemical precipitation with surface modification. The nanoparticle redispersibility for BT was achieved by using a polymeric surfactant. X-ray diffraction(XRD) results indicated that the BT particles are of cubic phase with 80 nm in size. XRD results of zinc silicate phosphor indicate that seeds play an important role in enhancing the nucleation and crystallization of Zn$_2$SiO$_4$ crystals in a hydrothermal condition. This paper describes and discuss the methods of surface modification, and the resulting related properties for BT, zinc silicate and zinc sulfide.

The aim of this study was to compare the compositions and cytotoxicity of white ProRoot MTA (white mineral trioxide aggregate) and 3 kinds of Portland cements. The elements, simple oxides and phase compositions of white MTA (WMTA), gray Portland cement (GPC), white Portland cement (WPC) and fast setting cement (FSC) were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Agar diffusion test was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxicity of WMTA and 3 kinds of Portland cements. The results showed that WMTA and WPC contained far less magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) than GPC and FSC. FSC contained far more aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) than WMTA, GPC, and WPC. WMTA, GPC, WPC and FSC were composed of main phases. such as tricalcicium silicate ($3CaO{\cdot}SiO_2$), dicalcium silicate ($2CaO{\cdot}SiO_2$), tricalcium aluminate ($3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3$), and tetracalcium aluminoferrite ($4CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3{\cdot}Fe_2O_3$). The significance of the differences in cellular response between WMTA, GPC, WPC and FSC was statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis Exact test with Bonferroni' s correction. The result showed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). WMTA, GPC, WPC and FSC showed similar compositions. However there were notable differences in the content of minor elements. such as aluminum (Al), magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc. These differences might influence the physical properties of cements.
