AISI 4600 Iron powder was mixed with 0~1.0% phosphor as F$e_2$P powder and/or 0~0.8% carbon as graphite powder in rotating mixer. Mixed powder was pressed 800MPa in double-punch mould. Compacts were sintered at 115$0^{\circ}C$for 30 min. in vacuum or mixed hydrogen and nitrogen gas. Sintered compacts were ground and polished, and etched by 2% nital etchant. The microstructure was observed by image analyzer and optical microscope. Density and microhardness were tested by ASTM B3l2 and Microvickers hardness tester. The results obtained were as follows : (1) As the amount of F$e_2$P powder increased, sintered microstructure showed more densified effect and the grain size was larger. (2) The shape of pore was rounded and the number of pore was decreased by F$e_2$P addition. But mean pore size was larger with F$e_2$P content. (3) Simultaneous alloying addition of F$e_2$P and graphite brought about larger grain growth than respective addition. (4) Sintering atmosphere did not affect the microstructure. (5) Hardness of sintered compact increased with phosphrous and carbon content.

Quantum dots (QDs) are capable of controlling the typical emission and absorption wavelengths because of the bandgap widening effect of nanometer-sized particles. These phosphor particles have been used in optical devices, photovoltaic devices, advanced display devices, and several biomedical complexes. In this study, we synthesize ZnSe QDs with controlled surface defects by a heating-up method. The optical properties of the synthesized particles are analyzed using UV-visible and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Calculations indicate nearly monodisperse particles with a size of about 5.1 nm at $260^{\circ}C$ (full width at half maximum = 27.7 nm). Furthermore, the study results confirm that successful doping is achieved by adding $Eu^{3+}$ preparing the growth phase of the ZnSe:Eu QDs when heating-up method. Further, we investigate the correlation between the surface defects and the luminescent properties of the QDs.

To obtain the blue emission of powder electroluminescent device, the emission properties of ZnS:Cu were estimated by the variation of applied frequency and the addition of dye to ZnS:Cu phosphor. The variation of applied frequency was from 400 to 4kHz and the addition ratio of dye was from 0 to 5 weight percent respectively. The increment of applied frequency made that emission peaks were shifted from 500.5nm and 460nm at 400Hz to 490nm and 450nm at 4kHz. CIE coordinate system was shifted from x=0.1647, y=0.3711 at 400Hz to x=0.1543, y=0.1856 at 4kHz. On the basis of applied voltage 100V, 400Hz, the increment of addition ratio of dye also made that emission peak was shifted from 505nm(0wt%) to 490nm(5wt%) and the CIE coordinate system was shifted from x=0.1647, y=0.3711(0wt%) to x=0.1334, y=0.2363 (5wt%). The brightness was increased from 60 cd/$m^2$(400Hz) to 174 cd/$m^2$(4kHz) with increment of frequency. When the addition ratio of dye was above 1wt%, the brightness was decreased below 42% of initial brightness and changed from 60 cd/$m^2$(0wt%) to 20.84 cd/$m^2$(5wt%).

In this study, the highly sensitive $CaSO_4$:Tm-PTFE TLDs has been fabricated for the purpose of measurement of high energy electron. $CaSO_4$:Tm phosphor powder was mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) powder and moulded in a disk type(diameter 8.5mm, thickness $90mg/cm^2$) by cold pressing. The batch uniformities were average deviation 3.1%. The TLDs were applied to measurement of absorbed dose distribution for high energy electron, the ranges were determined to be $R_{100}=14.5mm$, $R_{50}=24.1mm$ and $R_p=31.8mm$, respectively. The beam flatness were 4.5% as the variation of dose relative to the central axis over the central 80% of the field size at a maximum dose depth in a plane perpendicular to the central axis.

To achieve the accurate evaluation of given absorbed dose from output dose of linear accelerator photon beam through investigate the characteristics of LiF:Mg,Cu,P TLD powder. This experimental TL phosphor is performed with a commercial LiF:Mg,Cu,P powder (Supplied by PTW) and TL reader (LTM, France). The TLD was exposed to 6 MV X rays of linear accelerator photon beam with range 15 to 800 cGy in blind dose at two hospitals. The dose evaluation of TLD was through the experimental algorithms which were dose dependency, dose rate dependency, fading and powder weight dependency. The glow curve has shown the three peaks which are 110, 183 and 232 degrees of heating temperature and the main dosimetric peak showed highest TL response at 232 high temperature. In this experiments, the LiF:Mg,Cu,P phosphor has shown the 2.5 eV of electron trap energy with a second order.

저 전압용 형광체는 최근에 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있으며 가장 대표적인 형광체가 ZnO : Zn 녹색 형광체이다. ZnO : Zn 형광체는 자체발광형 형광체로써 ZnO을 환원분위기 하에서 열처리를 함으로써 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자발착화 연소반응법(Glycine Nitrate Process)을 이용하여 ZnO : Zn 분말을 합성하고 형광특성 및 분말특성을 알아보았다. 출발물질로는 Zn Nitrate와 Glycine을 이용하였고 자발연소 반응이 발생하는데 적절한 글리신의 양을 확인하기 위해서 글리신과 양이온의 비를 변화시키며 ZnO를 합성하였다. 그리고 Zn Excess가 생겨난 양과 그에 따른 형광특성을 관찰하기 위해 $N_2$ 분위기에서 각기 $500^{\circ}C,\;750^{\circ}C,\;950^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 열처리를 행하였다. 제조된 ZnO 분말의 입자형태와 결정상태는 SEM과 XRD를 이용하여 분석하였고 TG-DTA를 측정하여 열처리 온도에 따른 질량감소(ZR excess)를 관찰하였다. 또 Particle size analyzer로 분말의 크기를 알아보았고 형광체로써의 발광특성을 살펴보기 위해 PL을 이용하여 발광피크를 관찰하였다.

Nowadays, trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}$) ions activated metal oxides have been proved to be excellent host materials due to their various applications. Facile wet-chemical technique have been considered as the best synthetic route due its intensive interest in the preparation of nanostructures. Europium ion doped lanthanum hydroxide ($La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$) phosphors were synthesized by the facile wet chemical method using the hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as a mediated surfactant. The thermal behavior for the $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis method. The morphological studies were measured by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope measurements, indicating three-dimensional (3D) flower-like $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ nanorod bundles. After subsequent annealing process, the lanthanum oxide ($La_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$) phosphor exhibited similar kind of morphology. The synthesized $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ and $La_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties were studied in details.

Influence of hexamethyldisilazane(HMDS) in post processing technique by using n-butanol azeotropic distillation on the luminescence properties of YAG:Ce nanophosphor were studied. The organic solvent(n-butanol) azeotropic distillation which prevent powders from conglobation since lager molecules decrease the surface tension and more complete replace the residual water in the precipitate. HMDS that had larger molecules than that of n-butanol was added in azeotropic distillation. The phosphor synthesized from n-butanol azeotropic distillation exhibited lower agglomerate and better photoluminescence properties than that from HMDS added heterogeneous azeotropic distillation.

Zinc gallate $(ZnGa_2O_4)$ thin film phosphors have been formed on ITO glass substrates by a sol-gel spinning coating method. For the formation of the film phosphors, the starting materials of zinc acetate dihydrate, gallium nitrate hydrate and 2-methoxyethanol as a solution were used. The thin films deposited were firstly dried at $100^{\circ}C$ and fired at $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and then, annealed $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ at for 30 min under an annealing atmosphere of 3% $H_2/Ar$. The thin films deposited on ITO glass plates showed the (220), (222), (400), (422), (511), and (440) peaks of spinel structure as well as the (311) peak indicating a standard powder diffraction pattern. The surface morphologies of the thin film phosphors were observed with a firing and an annealing condition. The $ZnGa_2O_4$ film phosphors showed the blue emission spectra around 410 nm as well as the emission spectra in the UV region (360-380 nm).
