Abstract

Rare-earth niobates, ag (Ln = Y, La, Gd) are well-known self-activated phosphors due to charge transfer in $NbO^{3-}_4$ showing a broad and strong emission band in the spectral region around 410 nm. In order to find new blue and red phosphors for FED, $LaNbO_4$ : X (X = Bi, Eu) phosphors are prepared through solid-state reactions at high temperature. The optimum reaction condition for these phosphors to give maximum emission intensity is obtained when it is first fired at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h followed by second firing at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Under irradiation at 254 nm, $1mol\%\;Bi^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows strong blue emission band with a range of $420\~450nm$. Also $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$ phosphor shows the maximum emission intensity at about 610 nm. Emission peaks at $415\~460nm$, $530\~560nm$and $570\~620nm$are observed in phosphors below $10mol\%\;Eu^{3+}$ doped $LaNbO_4$. Similar results are obtained in cathodoluminescent property of these phosphors.

희토류계 niobates인 $LaNbO_4$(Ln : Y, La, Gd)는 자체 발광형으로 $NbO^{3-}_4$ 이온의 전하 이동에 의한 넓은 띠의 청색 발광 스펙트럼을 410nm에서 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 FED용 청색 및 적색 형광체를 개발하기 위하여 $LaNbO_4$ :X (X = Bi, Eu) 형광체를 합성하였으며, $1250^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소성한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소성하였을 때 최대 발광피크를 얻을 수 있었다. 254nm의 여기하에서 $LaNbO_4$ : Bi는 $420\~450nm$ 영역에서 강한 청색 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내며 첨가된 $Bi^{3+}$ 이온 농도가 $1mol\%$일 때 최대 발광세기를 얻었다 $LaNbO_4$ : Eu의 경우는 첨가된 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온 농도가 $10mol\%$일 때 약 610nm에서 최대 적색 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내고 있다. $Eu^{3+}$ 이온 농도가 $10mol\%$ 이하에서는 $415\~460nm$, $530\~560nm$$570\~620nm$ 영역에서 피크가 관측되고 있다. 이들 형광체의 음극선 발광특성은 빛 발광 특성과 유사한 경향을 보였다.
