본 연구의 목적은 기존의 $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$형광체에 새로운 co-dopant를 첨가하여 발광특성을 향상시키는 것이다. co-dopant로서 선정한 Mg와 Cr이온들은 Zn자리를 치환하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 실제로 co-doping 시 각각 발광휘도와 decay time을 개선시키는 효과를 거두었다. $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$에 Mg와 Cr이온들이 co-doping될 시에는 lattice 및 $Mn^{2+}$의 에너지 준위를 변화시키는 것으로 추정되어 발광휘도 및 decay time의 변화를 일으키는 것으로 해석된다. 특히 이 원소들은 발광과정에 긍정정인 영향을 끼쳐 Mg는 발광휘도를 중가시키고 Cr은 decay time을 감소시키는 결과를 얻었다. $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn,\;Mg$ 형광체의 발광휘도 개선은 DV-X${\alpha}$ embedded cluster 계산방법으로 설명할 수 있었고 반면에 $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn,\;Cr$ 형광체가 decay time을 줄이는 원인은 Mn이온과 Cr이온사이에 energy transfer가 일어나 발생되는 것으로 추정된다.

PDP(Plasma Display Panel)용 녹색 형광체의 발광특성과 결정성을 향상시키기 위해 Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn에 co-dopant로 Cr과 Ti 를 각각 첨가하여 졸-겔법으로 합성하였다. 이렇게 합성된 Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn, M(M=Cr, Ti) 형광체는 고상반응의 경우와 비교하여 상대적으로 낮은 온도인 110$0^{\circ}C$에서 willemite 구조의 단일상이 형성되었다. 제조된 Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn, M(M=Cr, Ti) 형광체에 대하여 진공자외선(Vacuum Ultraviolet, VUV) 영역의 147 nm 여기광원을 사용하여 발광특성을 조사하였다. Co-dopant의 영향을 알아보기 위해 Mn의 농도는 2 ㏖%, $H_2O$/TEOS의 비율은 36.1로 고정하였고, 이때 Cr과 Ti 모두 0.1 ㏖%에서 가장 좋은 발광특성을 나타냈다. Cr이 co-doping된 경우는 농도가 증가할수록 잔광시간은 짧아지나 발광강도는 지속적으로 감소한 반면, Ti를 co-doping했을 때는 오히려 낮은 농도에서 발광강도의 증가를 보이며 2.0 ㏖%에서 급격히 감소하였다.

The charging tendency of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphor surface was modified in order to improve discharging characteristic of green cell in an ac-plasma display panel (ac-PDP). The Zinc-silicate ($Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$) green-emitting phosphor was coated with magnesium oxide(MgO), which is viable to have positive charge on the surface. After fabricating the green cell with MgO-coated $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$, the electrical and optical properties in the cell were examined. It was found that the dynamic voltage margin could be increased while the address time was reduced. It may be ascribed to the change of charging tendency of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphor by MgO coating, which makes it possible to stable wall-charge accumulation. When $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphor was coated with 1.3wt%-MgO, the address time was reduced 1.2 ${\mu}s$ and the address voltage lowered 25 V without any misfiring problem, compared to those of typical $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphor layer. The luminescence intensity of green cell using MgO-coated phosphor layer was also improved by 10%.

Green light emitting $Zn_2SiO_4$Mn and Al co-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphor were synthesized by a sol-gel method combined with a furnace firing. The luminescent properties of the sample have been investigated. We have found that the phosphor powder with uniform shape show the maximum luminescent intensity when it is prepared with sol-gel method and fired at relatively high temperature ($1100{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$).

The $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors were prepared using polymer matrix technique in order to improve the performance of green emitting phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP). $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphor exhibits a strong green emission around 520-530 nm. The emission intensity and particle size of powders were controlled by sintering temperature and raw material composition. The zinc silicate $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ single phase were obtained at lower temperature than prepared by solid-state reaction method. PL luminance of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphor was similar to the commercial material.

PDP(Plasma Display Panel)용 녹색 형광체인 Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn에 채-dopant로 Al을 첨가하여 졸-겔법으로 합성하였다. 졸-겔법으로 제조한 형광체는 기존의 고상 반응에 의해 합성된 경우보다 낮은 온도(1000-110$0^{\circ}C$)에서 Zn$_2$SiO$_4$단일상을 형성하였으며, 300-500nm의 비교적 균일한 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, co-dopant인 Al을 첨가함으로써 발광휘도를 향상시키고, 전광시간을 줄일 수 있었다. 한편, TEOS의 가수분해시 $H_2O$/TEOS 비율을 조절하여 발광의 최적 조건을 조사하였다.

Manganese-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ phosphors well known as a green emitter with high luminescence efficiency were prepared by the homogeneous precipitation method, and their photoluminescence properties under vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) excitation were investigated. $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors obtained by this method have exhibited a high luminance of property and a spherical shape of particles. In particular, the green emission intensity of zinc orthosilicate prepared as containing around 2 mole% of manganese was much stronger than that of the commercial $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphor, while the decay time was longer. However, addition of $Al^{3+}$ and $Li^+$ into $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn composition has significantly diminished the decay time of the phosphor without much degradation of the emission intensity.

In order to improve luminescence prperty of phosphors, we have synthesized Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors by a new chemical synthetic route, i.e., the homogeneous precipitation method. This method has featured that the formation of phosphoris completed at relatively low temperature of 105$0^{\circ}C$ and the particle morphology exhibits spherical shape to be well-dispersed and uniform size. At all the Mn concentration explored, phosphors prepared by this method have exhibited the improved emission intensities. In particular, the emission intensities of phosphors with Mn doping contents between 1 at% and 3.5 at% were higher about 40% than that of commercial phosphor. On the other hand, the decay time has been decreased from 23 ms to 11 ms with increasing Mn concentration. In addition, the phosphor composition containing 3 at% Mn has displayed the most saturated color.

Zinc silicate ($Zn_2SiO_4$) has been identified as a suitable host material for a wide variety of luminescent activators, such as transition metal and rare earth elements. In particular, manganese-activated $Zn_2SiO_4$ exhibits highly efficient photoluminescenceand cathodoluminescence, which allows this material to be used in fluorescent lamps and display applications. In this study, we investigated the green and yellow luminescence from Mn-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ thin films that were synthesized using radio frequency magnetron sputtering followed by annealing at $600{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$ The refractive index of the $Zn_2SiO_4$: Mn films showed normal dispersion behavior. It was found that the $Zn_2SiO_4$: Mn films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ ossessed a mixture of alpha and beta phases. The obtained photoluminescence spectrum consisted of two emission bands centered at 525 nm in the green range and 574 nm in the yellow range. The green luminescence originates from the divalent Mn ions in alpha phase of $Zn_2SiO_4$, while the yellow luminescence comes from the divalent Mn ions in beta phase. The films annealed at and above $900^{\circ}C$ xhibited only the alpha phase. The broad PL excitation band was observed ranging from 220 to 300 nm with a maximum at around 243 nm.
