S. Erdei et al., PREPARATION OF EU3+YVO4 RED AND CE3+, TB3+LAPO4, GREEN PHOSPHORS BY HYDROLYZED COLLOID REACTION (HCR) TECHNIQUE, Materials letters, 30(5-6), 1997, pp. 389-393
Eu3+:YVO4 red and Ce3+, Tb3+:LaPO4 green phosphors were prepared by ne
wly discovered hydrolized colloid reaction (HCR) technique at low temp
erature (<100 degrees C) and atmospheric pressure utilizing subsequent
calcining and reductive treatments, respectively. The incorporation o
f activators (Eu3+ and Ce3+, Tb3+) in these very porous powders was ch
ecked by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) a
nd luminescence investigations.
