Due to an efficient red emission, $Eu^{+3}$ ions have doped in various host materials. Eu-doped $LaPO_4/LaPO_4$ core/shell nanophosphor which emits red light in visible range, was synthesized by using a solution system. The mean size of the nanoparticle observed by TEM was about 7-8 nm. In this core/shell system, the thickness of $LaPO_4$ shell was optimized on the basis of relative PL emission intensity. In addition, the luminescent properties of $LaPO_4:Eu/LaPO_4$ core/shell particle have been compared with Eu-doped $LaPO_4$ bulk particle and nanoparticle.

This thesis described the optical and electrical properties of the alternating current powder electroluminescent device based on Ag nanowire as a transparent electrode. The Ag nanowire electrode showed the morphology of 20 nm in diameter and 15 ㎛ in length. The transparent electroluminescent devices that were fabricated using the nanomilled ZnS : Cu, Mn phosphor by bar-coating process showed the transmittance of 67%. In order to improve the luminous efficiency, it is necessary to apply the transparent dielectric layer and increase the amount of the nanophosphor while maintaining the transmittance.

Red-emitting $Eu^{3+}$-activated $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ (0 < x $\leq$ 0.12) nanophosphors with the particle size of ~30 nm and the high crystallinity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. In the synthetic process, deionized water as a solvent and ethylene glycol as a capping agent were used. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, and the photoluminescence properties of the excitation spectrum, emission intensity, color coordinates and decay time, of the prepared $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphors were compared with those of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$. Under 147 nm excitation, $(Y_{0.95-x}Al_x)VO_4$ nanophosphors showed strong red luminescence due to the $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ at 619 nm. The luminescence intensity of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ enhanced with partial substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ and the maximum emission intensity was accomplished at the $Al^{3+}$ content of 10 mol%. By the addition of $Al^{3+}$, decay time of the $(Y,Al)VO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor was decreased in comparison with that of the $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphor. Also, the substitution of $Al^{3+}$ for $Y^{3+}$ invited the improvement of color coordinates due to the increase of R/O ratio in emission intensity. For the formation of transparent layer, the red nanophosphors were fabricated to the paste with ethyl celluloses, anhydrous terpineol, ethanol and deionized water. By screen printing method, a transparent red phosphor layer was formed onto a glass substrate from the paste. The transparent red phosphor layer exhibited the red emission at 619 nm under 147 nm excitation and the transmittance of ~80% at 600 nm.

Water dispersible ZnS:Mn nanocrystals were synthesized by capping the surface of the nanocrystals with four kinds of aminoacids ligands: arginine, cystein, histidine, and methionine. The aminoacids capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystal powders were characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, EDXS, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The optical properties of the aminoacids capped ZnS:Mn colloidal nanocrystals were also measured by UV/Vis and solution photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies in aqueous solvents. The solution PL spectra showed broad emission peaks around 575 nm (orange light emissions) with PL efficiencies in the range of 4.4 to 7.1%. The measured particle sizes for the aminoacid capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals by HR-TEM images were in the range of 5.3 to 11.7 nm.

란탄족 원소가 도핑된 세라믹 나노결정, 즉, 나노형광체는 도핑되는 원소의 종류에 따라 다양한 색을 발광할 수 있다. 일반적으로 형광체는 외부에너지에 의해 여기된 후 흡수한 에너지 보다 작은 에너지의 가시광을 발광하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 downconversion 발광으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 모체에 Yb3+와 Er3+를 도핑하는 경우 적외선을 흡수하여 가시광선을 발광하는 upconversion 현상이 관찰된다. Upconversion 형광체를 이용하여 적외선을 가시광으로 변환시키면 sub-band gap 손실을 줄임으로써 태양전지 효율을 높일 수 있고, 바이오 이미징 감도를 높일 수도 있다. 그러나, upconversion 발광기구에서는 두 개의 적외선 광자가 흡수되어 하나의 가시광 광자가 방출되기 때문에 upconversion 발광 효율은 downconversion 발광 효율에 비하여 매우 낮은 특성을 보인다. 특히 형광체의 크기가 작아져 나노미터 영역의 크기가 되면 효율이 더욱 낮아지기 때문에 upconversion 나노형광체의 경우 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 형광체 주위로 결정질 쉘을 형성시키는 것이 필요하다. 이 때, 결정질 쉘에 downconversion 특성을 보일 수 있는 란탄족 원소를 도핑하는 경우 upconversion 발광 강도가 증대될 뿐 아니라, 하나의 나노입자에서 upconversion과 downconversion 두 가지 서로 다른 발광 특성을 관찰할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 단일 나노입자에서 upconversion과 downconversion 발광을 보이는 이중발광 코어/쉘 나노형광체의 발광 특성에 대하여 논의하고자 한다.

Crystalline $Ce^{3+}$ co-doped $LaPO_4$:RE ($RE=Dy^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$, $Eu^{3+}$, $Sm^{3+}$) and mix doped rare earth ions of $Dy^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ were prepared by the polyol method at $150^{\circ}C$. Strongly enhance luminescence intensity is obtained with the co-doping of $Ce^{3+}$ with $LaPO_4$:$Dy^{3+}$ and $LaPO_4$:$Tb^{3+}$ due to charge transfer (CT) occurring from $Ce^{3+}$ to $Dy^{3+}$ and $Ce^{3+}$ to $Tb^{3+}$, where as there is no significant changes in luminescence intensity of $Ce^{3+}$ co-doped $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ doped $LaPO_4$ samples. The luminescence color can be tuned from green to white by varying the excitation wavelength for the mix ions $Ce^{3+}$, $Dy^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ doped with $LaPO_4$.

In this work, we investigated the spectroscopic properties of $LiY_xSr_yZrO_{3+{\alpha}:Eu^{3+}$, a red emitting nanophosphor based on $SrZrO_3$ perovskite. The synthesis process was an auto-combustion process. X-ray diffractograms show the orthorhombic structure of $SrZrO_3$. Photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra display a split charge transfer band revealing the presence of two possible sites for the $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The emission spectra at 231 nm excitation illustrate the dominance of the $^5D_0-^7F_1$ transition, which is an indication that the smaller sized $Eu^{3+}$ ions are mostly situated at the more ordered (symmetric) $Sr^{2+}$ sites. The emission spectra at 292 nm & 397 nm excitations show the dominance of $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition which suggests some of the $Eu^{3+}$ ions are also situated at the distorted $Zr^{4+}$ sites. Both the intensity parameters, asymmetry ratio and the decay lifetimes of the nanophosphors show dependence on $Y^{3+}$ concentration, signifying a modification in the host structure. Maximum quantum efficiency value of ${\approx}46%$ was obtained for the nanophosphors which indicate the need for improvement for practical applications. CIE coordinates show the suitability of this phosphor for both red emission in LED and as a complementary colour for white LED applications.

Water-dispersible ZnS:Mn nanocrystals were synthesized by capping the surface of the nanocrystals with conventional aminoacids ligands: serine and threonine. The aminoacids capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystal powders were characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, EDXS, ICP-AES and FT-IR spectroscopy. The optical properties were also measured by UV/Vis and solution photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies in aqueous solvents. The solution PL spectra showed broad emission peaks around 600 nm with PL efficiencies of 9.7% (ZnS:Mn-Ser) and 15.4% (ZnS:Mn-Thr) respectively. The measured particle sizes for the aminoacid capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals by HR-TEM images were about 3.0-4.0 nm, which were also supported by Debye-Scherrer calculations. In addition, cytotoxic effects of four aminoacids capped ZnS:Mn nanocrsystals over the growth of wild type E. coli were investigated. Although toxicity in the form of growth inhibition was observed with all the aminoacids capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals at higher dose (1 mg/mL), ZnS:Mn-Met and ZnS:Mn-Thr appeared non-toxic at doses less than 100 ${\mu}g$/mL. Low biological toxicities were seen at doses less than 10 ${\mu}g$/ mL for all nanocrystals.

PDP를 비롯한 형광체를 이용하는 디스플레이 분야에서 현재 마이크로미터($\mu}$-meter) 이상의 크기를 갖는 기존의 벌크(bulk) 형광체를 능가하는 성능과 새로운 물성을 나타내는 나노형광체(nanophosphor) 개발 및 응용에 대한 연구가 절대적으로 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 나노 사이즈의 평균 입자 크기를 갖는 구형의 $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ 형광체 입자를 초음파 분무열 분해(ultrasonic spray pyrolysis) 방법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 구형의 형광체 입자의 크기는 분무 장치의 droplet separator를 도입하여 조절하였다. 2 mol%의 망간을 도핑하여 합성한 $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ 입자는 시간이 지남에 따라 감소되고, 최근에 고상에서 합성하여 상용화된 물질에 비교할 수 있을 만한 빛 방출의 세기를 가졌다. 형광체 입자의 크기는 무기질 염의 농도가 0에서 5 M로 증가함에 따라 $1\;{\mu}m$에서 $0.2\;{\mu}m$로 감소하였다. 0.5 M 이상의 농도의 전구체 용액에서 얻어진 형광체 입자의 빛 방출은 상용화되어 있는 물질과의 비교를 통해 알아보았다.
