m-Aramid dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), were coagulated in different coagulants such as water, methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol. Various concentrations and temperatures of the coagulants were also used to evaluate dyeing properties of coagulated m-aramid films. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was employed to investigate the surface morphology of m-aramid films. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) was conducted in order to measure crystallinity change of mcaramid fibers and films. WAXD patterns showed that crystallinity of m-aramid fibers was reduced after film formation. In addition, color depth (K/S value) was measured and the results revealed that the film coagulated in water possessed fairly enhanced color depth.

A bright post-breakout emission was detected for a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) LSQ14efd, which was among the first for SNe Ic. To explain the early-time light curve and color evolution, the effects of the circumstellar medium (CSM) are investigated. Four main parameters, CSM mass, CSM radius, nickel distribution, and explosion energy, are systematically explored in multi-group radiation hydrodynamics simulations, STELLA. Matching the model light curves and color evolution with the observation, we could constrain the parameter space and find out the best fit models. Our results imply that the progenitor suffered a strong mass loss shortly before the explosion and had a massive CSM of ~0.1 M_⊙.

In this study we have investigated cathodoluminescence (CL) and structural properties of thin film $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ oxide phosphor by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL), and cathodoluminescence. PL emission peaked at 506 nm was observed from the $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor target and it was attributed to the $^4T_1-^6A_1$ transition in $Mn^{2+}$ ion. The color coordinates of the emission were x = 0.09 and y = 0.67. The $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ films showed the excitation spectrum peaked at 294 nm by $Mn^{2+}$ ion absorption. It was found that the higher intensity of CL emission at 505 nm appears to result from the denser and closely-packed structure in $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor films deposited at lower pressures. The CL intensity did not show any systematic dependence on film surface roughness.

In this study, we prepared red organic light-emitting-diode(OLED) with a fluorescent dye(Sq)-doped and inserted between emission and cathode layer 1,3-bis(5-p-t-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzene (OXD7) or/and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$) layers for increasing electroluminescent(EL) efficiency. This inserting effect has been observed and EL mechanism characteristics have been examined. The hole transfer layer is a N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-(3-methyl phenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD), and the host and guest materials of emission layer is $Alq_3$ and bis[1-methyl-3,3'-dimethyl-2-indorindiylmethyl] squaraine (Sq), respectively. For the inserting of $Alq_3$, emission efficiency increased. But we can not obtained highly pure red emission owing to the emission of inserting $Alq_3$ layer. The inserting of OXD7 makes hole block and accumulate. Because of increasing recombination probability of electron and hole, highly pure red color can be held. Simultaneously brightness characteristics and emission efficiency could improve.

In this study, zinc germanate ($Zn_2GeO_4$) thin films has been synthesized by using radio frequency magnetron sputtering and the divalent manganese-activated luminescence was characterized. X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-deposited $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn films showed only a broad feature, indicative of an amorphous structure. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the as-deposited $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn has a smooth surface morphology. The $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn films were found to be crystallized by annealing in air ambient at temperatures as low as $700^{\circ}C$. The annealed $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn possessed a rhombohedral polycrystalline structure. The broad-band photoluminescent emission spectrum from 470 to 650nm was obtained at room temperature from the $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn films. The emission peak was centered at around 535nm in the green range, which originates from the intrashell transition of manganese $3d^5$ electrons from $^4T_1$ excited-state level to the $^6A_1$ ground state. The PL emission spectrum had an asymmetric line shape, which results from the $^3d_5$ electron transitions of divalent manganese ions located at different sites of the zinc germanate host crystal lattice. Electroluminescent devices were fabricated using $Zn_2GeO_4$:Mn as an emission layer. The fabricated devices showed a green EL emission similar to the PL emission. The CIE chromaticity color coordinates of the EL emission were determined to be x=0.308 and y=0.657.

A series of Dy³⁺, Sm³⁺, and Dy³⁺/Sm³⁺ doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that all of the diffraction peaks could be attributed to the monoclinic Gd₂WO₆ crystal structure, irrespective of the type and the concentration of activator ions. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra of Dy³⁺-doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors contained an intense charge transfer band centered at 302 nm in the range of 240-340 nm and two weak peaks at 351 and 386 nm. Under an excitation wavelength of 302 nm, the PL emission spectra consisted of two strong blue and yellow bands centered at 482 nm and 577 nm. The PL emission spectra of the Sm³⁺-doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors had a series of three peaks centered at 568 nm, 613 nm, and 649 nm, corresponding to the ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_5/2, ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2, and ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_11/2 transitions of Sm³⁺, respectively. The PL emission spectra of the Dy³⁺- and Sm³⁺-codoped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors showed the blue and yellow emission lines originating from the ⁴F_9/2 → ⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ and reddish-orange and red emission bands due to the ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_7/2 and ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2 transitions of Sm³⁺. As the concentration of Sm³⁺ increased from 1 to 15 mol%, the intensities of two PL spectra emitted by the Dy³⁺ ions gradually decreased, while those of the three emission bands due to the Sm³⁺ ions slowly increased, thus producing the color change from white to orange. The CIE color coordinates of Gd₂WO₆:5 mol% Dy³⁺, 1 mol% Sm³⁺ phosphors were (0.406, 0.407), which was located in the warm white light region.

Cost-effective, robust devices for solid-state lighting industry that converts electricity to light revolutionize the current lighting industry. Phosphor materials used in these devices should be synthesized in a low-cost and effective method for use in WLEDs. In this presentation, the synthesis of Eu3+ ions doped BaMoO4 phosphor samples by a facile synthesis process for red component of WLEDs will be shown. The tetragonal phase of the host lattice was substantiated by the X-ray diffraction patterns. The morphological studies were carried out by using a field-emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. These confirmed the formation of a shuttle like particles with perpendicular protrusions in the middle of the particle. The photoluminescence (PL) properties exhibited good emission with a high asymmetry ratio when excited with ultraviolet B wavelengths (~ 280-315 nm). The cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra showed similar results to the PL spectra, indicating the rich red emission. The results suggest that this phosphor is a good material as red region component in the development of tri-band UV excitation based WLEDs.

The $ZnGa_2O_4$ and Mn, Cr-doped $ZnGa_2O_4$ Phosphors were synthesized through conventional solid state reactions. The XRD patterns show that the $ZnGa_2O_4$ has a (3 1 1) main peak and a spinel phase. The emission wavelength of $ZnGa_2O_4$ showed main peak of 420 nm and maximum intensity at the sintering temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$. In the crystalline $ZnGa_2O_4$, the Mn shows green emission (510 nm, $^4T_1-^6A_1$) with a quenching concentration of 0.6 mol%, and the Cr shows red emission (705 nm, $^4T_2-^4A_2$) with a quenching concentration of 2 mol%. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$ Phosphors hold promise for potential applications in field emission display devices with high brightness operating in full color regions.

In order to search new phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP), phosphate hosts which has a host excitation band at around 150nm were prepared and their luminescent properties were investigated. In the preparation of $YPO_4: Eu\; and\; (Y,Gd)PO_4: Eu$ phosphors, the effect of oxide and oxalate starting materials on prepared phosphors were compared in terms of relative emission intensities and particle characteristics. The results showed that oxalate starting materials gave better performance in emission intensities and smaller size and more round shape phosphors which would be more applicable for high resolution display. Additionally, Gd, V, Nb and Ta ions were doped to $YPO_4:Eu$ and the luminescent properties of the resulant solid solutions were investigated to find efficient sensitizer. Among these ions, Gd, V and Nb ions increased the emission intensities of parent phosphor to around 10%. While Nb ion gave the best result in emission intensities, CIE color coordinate were improved by doping V ion into $YPO_4:Eu$ phosphor to give x=0.6523, y=0.3406 compared to commercial sample.

In this study, $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors in its application to field emission displays and electroluminescence were synthesized through the precipitation method and $Mn^{2+}$ ions. A green luminescence activator, $Cr^{3+}$ ions, and a red luminescence activator were separately doped into $ZnGa_2O_4$, which was then screen printed to an indium tin oxide substrate. The thick films of the $ZnGa_2O_4$ were deposited with the various thicknesses using nano-sized powder. The best luminescence characteristics were shown at a thickness of 60 ${\mu}m$. Additionally, green-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn^{2+}$ and red-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Cr^{3+}$ phosphor thick films, which have superior characteristics, were manufactured through the screen-printing method. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors prepared through the precipitation method have wide application as phosphor of the full color emission.
