“…Therefore, proper selection of red ͑Eu͒, green, and blue emitting REs as dopants in a common host material system could simplify some critical integration problems in the next generation of display and lighting technology. RE luminescence has been demonstrated in a variety of hosts such as fluoride glasses, [4][5][6] LiNbO 3 , 7 ZnO, 8,9 and ZrO 2 10 and SnO 2 , 10 and Al 2 O 3 and CaF 2 11 lanthanide OBr-based powder phosphors, 12 RE complexes in sol-gels 13 and wide band gap semiconductors including GaP, 14 SiC, 15 and III-V [16][17][18] compounds.…”
