Synthesis and luminescence properties of phase-pure ultrafine Y2.9Tb0.1Al5−xGaxO12 phosphors

Photoluminescence properties of YAG:Tb nano-powders under vacuum ultraviolet excitation

“…However, to achieve desired phase purity, the process of solid-state reaction usually needs high temperature treatment (>1600 • C) for long time, introducing additional impurities and defects due to extensive ball milling [7]. In addition, high temperature processing does not yield the sufficiently fine particles required to achieve enhanced screen resolution in phosphor applications.…”
