Substantially improved methods for the preparation of europium-doped yttrium oxide red phosphor with the inclusion of alkali metal halides having a general formula $(Y_{1-x}Eu_x)_2O_3$:MX where 0.025${\leq}$x${\leq}$0.2 and MX is alkali halide in the mole ratio 0.025 to 0.6, more preferably between 0.05 to 0.2 mole, are reported. Another series of the red phosphor materials with general formula $(Y_{1-x-y}Gd_xEu_y)_2O_3$:MX where 0.05${\leq}$x${\leq}$0.40 and 0.025${\leq}$y${\leq}$0.20 and MX is alkali halide in the mole ratio 0.025 to 0.5, more preferably between 0.1 to 0.2 mole, has also been presented. The inclusion of alkali halide greatly increase the luminance of the materials. The materials are very soft with fine particle size less than 100nm. The phosphorescent materials have good luminance in VUV region.

$(Y,Gd)BO_3$: Eu, $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn and $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphors used in PDP were continuously irradiated by vacuum ultra violet generated from the penning gas (96%Ar+4%Xe) discharge and then the change of emitting intensity with time was investigated. The brightness of these phosphors decreased exponentially with VUV excitation time. The experimental data showed that the degradation rate increased in the order of $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn>(Y,Gd)$BO_3$: Eu>$BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphor. This different degradation property of phosphors was interpreted in terms of brightness saturation and stability against VUV irradiation. It was found that the degradation property of $(Y,Gd)BO_3$ : Eu red phosphor synthesized by ultrasonic thermal spray was superior to commercial phosphor.

$Eu^{3+}$-activated $R_3GaO_6$ (R = Y, Gd) phosphors were prepared in a conventional solid-state reaction and their optical properties were investigated. These compounds exhibit strong red emission under light excitation at 254 nm. The emission spectra are dominated by peaks appearing around 610-630 nm that are induced by the electric dipole transition of $^5D_0\;{\rightarrow}\;^7F_2$ of $Eu^{3+}$. In addition, the appropriate CIE (Commission Internationale de l'clairage) chromaticity coordinates, (x = 0.656, y = 0.336) for $Y_3GaO_6$ and (x = 0.655, y = 0.334) for $Gd_3GaO_6$, become closer to the NTSC (National Television System Committee) standard values. With the optimized activator concentrations, the maximum emission brightness is approximately 80% of $Y_2O_3$:$Eu^{3+}$ typical red-emitting phosphor with improved color purity under an excitation condition of 254 nm.

A different route to the synthesis of $Eu^{3+}$ - activated matrices such as $YAlO_{3}$ and $GdAlO_{3}$ and luminiscent properties of these compounds, were studied. The new route (Combustion method) consist of the redox reactions between the respective metal nitrates and urea in a preheated furnace at ${500^{\circ}C}$. The Phosphor thus obtained were then heated at ${1000^{\circ}C}$ for 2-3 hours to get better luminiscent properties. The incorporation of $Eu^{3+}$ activator in these phosphors were checked by luminiscence investigations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were carried out to understand surface morphological features and the particle size. X-ray energy dispersive analysis (EDAX) was also performed for the qualitative analysis of the phosphors.

An evolutionary optimization process involving genetic algorithm and combinatorial chemistry was employed in an attempt to develop titanate-based red phosphors suitable for tri-color white light emitting diodes We screened a eight-cation oxide system including $(K,Li,Na)_x(Y,Gd,La,Eu)_yTi_zO_{\delta}$ in terms of luminescent efficiency. The combination of genetic algorithm and combinatorial chemistry was proven to enhance the searching efficiency when applied for phosphor screening. As a result, the composition was optimized to be $(Na_{0.92}Li_{0.08})(Y_{0.8}Gd_{0.2})TiO_4:Eu^{3+}$, The luminance of this phosphor was 110 % of that of well-known scheelite variant phosphor at an excitation of 400 nm.

$Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$(x=0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.4) luminescent thin films have been grown on Si (100) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The films grown under different deposition conditions have been characterized using microstructural and luminescent measurements. The crystallinity, the surface morphology and photoluminescence (PL) of the films are highly dependent on the amount of Gd. The photoluminescence (PL) brightness data obtained from $Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ films grown under optimized conditions have indicated that Si (100) is one of promised substrates for the growth of high quality $Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ thin film red phosphor. In particular, the incorporation of Gd into $Y_2$ $O_3$ lattice could induce a remarkable increase of PL. The highest emission intensity was observed with $Y_{1.35}$G $d_{0.60}$ $O_3$: $E^{3+}$, whose brightness was increased by a factor of 1.95 in comparison with that of $Y_2$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ films.3+/ films.films.lms.

Trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}=Eu^{3+}\;and\;Tb^{3+}$) ions activated $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel process. After annealing at $1,500^{\circ}C$, the XRD patterns of the phosphor confirmed their monoclinic structure. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ doped $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphor shows the broad-band excitations in the shorter wavelength region due to charge transfer band of completely filled $O^{2-}$ to the partially filled $Eu^{3+}$ ions and f-d transitions of $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra show that the reddish-orange ions and green emission for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. Owing to the importance of thermal quenching property in the technological parameters, the temperature-dependent luminescence properties of these phosphors were measured for examing the suitability of their applications in the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition to those measurements, the cathodoluminescence properties were examined by changing the acceleration voltage and filament current. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of these phosphors were close proximity to those of commercially available phosphors for LED and field emission display devices.

Up-conversion (UC) luminescence properties of polycrystalline $Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ doped $NaGd(MoO_4)_2$ phosphors synthesized by a simple solid-state reaction method were investigated in detail. Used to 980 nm excitation (InfraRed area), $Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ co-doped $NaGd(MoO_4)_2$ exhibited very weak red emissions near 650 and 670 nm, and very strong green UC emissions at 540 and 550 nm corresponding to the infra 4f transitions of $Er^{3+}(^4F_{9/2},\;^2H_{11/2},\;^4S_{3/2}){\rightarrow}Er^{3+}(^4I_{15/2})$. The optimum doping concentration of $Er^{3+}$, $Yb^{3+}$ for highest emission intensity was determined by XRD and PL analysis. The $Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ (10.0/10.0 mol%) co-doped $NaGd(MoO_4)_2$ phosphor sample exhibited very strong shiny green emission. A possible UC mechanism for $Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ co-doped $NaGd(MoO_4)_2$ depending on the pump power dependence was discussed.
