We focus on the development of new silicate phosphors for a white LED. In the europium doped silicate system, four LED phosphor candidates—Li2SrSiO4:Eu, Ba9Sc2Si6O24:Eu, Ca3Si2O7:Eu and Ba2MgSi2O7:Eu were found. Luminescent properties under near UV and visible excitation were investigated for the new Eu2+ doped LED silicate phosphors. These new phosphors have a relatively strong absorption band...

Introduction: Understanding the impact process of ice-silicate mixtures is of importance, because water ices exist mostly in a variety of forms of mixtures with silicate or some other components (e.g. ammonia) in the solar system. Decrease of crater volume with increasing silicate content was observed in our previous impact cratering experiments of ice-silicate mixture targets performed using a...

The recent Spitzer detections of the 9.7μm Si–O silicate emission in type 1 AGNs provide support for the AGN unification scheme. The properties of the silicate dust are of key importance to understanding the physical, chemical and evolutionary properties of the obscuring dusty torus around AGNs. Compared to that of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), the 10μm silicate emission profile of ty...

Cerium doped lutetium silicate powders were prepared by solegel process with different cerium concentrations (0, 0.01 and 0.03 mol%). The synthesized lutetium silicate powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), TG-DTA, SEM, and Photoluminescence excitation and emissions. The crystallization of lutetium silicate is observed at 1.073 C in S2 (and S3: 1.058 C) sample. The formation of l...

concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials in the world. nowadays, nano silicate usage due to its special property attracted considerable attention. on this basis, studying its environmental functions is an essential issue. accordingly, the behavior of normal concrete and the one with nano silicate were compared via taking advantage of life cycle assessment (lca) method in this...

Three kinds of silicate phosphor thin films, emitting in the red-green-blue (RGB) primary colors, were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition: manganese and lead doped calcium silicate (CaSiO3:MnPb) for red color, manganese doped zinc silicate (Zn2SiO4:Mn) for green color, and cerium doped yttrium silicate (Y2SiO5:Ce) for blue color. A good correlation was found between photoluminescence intensi...
