phosphor powders were synthesized using a seed (average particle size: 5 ) by the polymer solution route. PVA solution was added to the sol precursors consisting of the seed powder and metal nitrate salts for homogeneous mixing in atomic scale. All dried precursor gels were calcined at and then heated at in atmosphere. The final powders were characterized by using XRD, SEM, PSA, PL and PKG test. All synthesized powders were crystallized to YAG phase without intermediate phases of YAM or YAP. The phosphor properties and morphologies of the synthesized powders were strongly dependent on the PVA content. Finally, the synthesized phosphor powder heated at , which is prepared from 12:1 PVA content and has an average particle size of 15 , showed similar phosphor properties to a commercial phosphor powder.

Trivalent cerium-ion-doped Y3(Al, Ga)5O12 nanoparticle phosphor nanoparticles were synthesized using the reversemicelle process. The Ce doped Y3(Al, Ga)5O12 particles were obtained from nitrate solutions dispersed in the nanosized aqueousdomains of a micro emulsion consisting of cyclohexane as the oil phase and poly(oxyethylene) nonylphenyl ether (Igepal CO-520) as the non-ionic surfactant. The crystallinity, morphology, and thermal properties of the synthesized Y3(Al, Ga)5O12:Ce3+powders were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy. The crystallinity, morphology, and chemical statesof the ions were characterized; the photo-physical properties were studied by taking absorption, excitation, and emission spectrafor various concentrations of cerium. The photo physical properties of the synthesized Y3(Al, Ga)5O12:Ce3+ powders werestudied by taking the excitation and emission spectra for various concentrations of cerium. The average particle size of thesynthesized YAG powders was below 1µm. Excitation spectra of the Y3Al5O12 and Y3Al3.97Ga1.03O12 samples were 485nmand 475nm, respectively. The emission spectra of the Y3Al5O12 and Y3Al3.97Ga1.03O12 were around 560nm and 545nm,respectively. Y3(Al, Ga)5O12:Ce3+ is a red-emitting phosphor; it has a high efficiency for operation under near UV excitation,and may be a promising candidate for photonic applications.

YAG:Ce yellow phosphor particles were synthesized by spray pyrolysis with changing the solution properties and their luminous properties, crystal structure, and morphological changes were studied by using PL measurement, XRD, and SEM analysis. It was clear that the solution properties significantly affected the crystal phase, crystallite size, the PL intensity, and the morphology of YAG:Ce particles. At low calcination temperature, the addition of urea only to the spray solution was helpful to form a pure YAG phase without any impurity phases, as the result, the highest luminescence intensity was achieved at the calcination temperature of . When the calcination temperatures were larger than , however, the YAG particles prepared without any additive showed the highest luminescent intensity. Regardless of the solution conditions, the emission intensity of YAG:Ce particles prepared by spray pyrolysis showed a linear relation with the crystallite size. In terms of the morphology of YAG:Ce particles, the addition of both DCCA and to the spray solution was effective to prepare a spherical and dense structured YAG particles.

Ce3+-doped yttrium aluminum gallium garnet (YAGG:Ce3+), which is a green-emitting phosphor, was synthesizedby solid state reaction using α-phase or γ-phase of nano-sized Al2O3 as the Al source. The processing conditions and thechemical composition of phosphor for the maximum emission intensity were optimized on the basis of emission intensity undervacuum UV excitation. The optimum heating temperature for phosphor preparation was 1550oC. Photoluminescence propertiesof the synthesized phosphor were investigated in detail. From the excitation and emission spectra, it was confirmed that theYAGG:Ce3+ phosphors effectively absorb the vacuum UV of 120-200nm and emit green light positioned around 530nm. Thecrystalline phase of the alumina nanoparticles affected the particle size and the luminescence property of the synthesizedphosphors. Nano-sized γ-Al2O3 was more effective for the achievement of higher emission intensity than was nano-sized α-Al2O3. This discrepancy is considered to be because the diffusion of Al3+ into Y2O3 lattice is dependent on the crystalline phaseof Al2O3, which affects the phase transformation of YAGG:Ce3+ phosphors. The optimum chemical composition, having themaximum emission intensity, was (Y2.98Ce0.02)(Al2.8Ga1.8)O11.4 prepared with γ-Al2O3. On the other hand, the decay time of theYAGG:Ce3+ phosphors, irrespective of the crystalline phase of the nano-sized alumina source, was below 1 ms due to theallowed 5d→4f transition of the Ce3+ activator.

The effect of BaF2 flux in Y3Al5O12:Ce3+(YAG:Ce) formation was investigated. Phase transformation ofY3Al5O12(YAG) was characterized by using XRD, SEM, and TEM-EDS, and it was revealed that the sequential formation ofthe Y4Al2O9(YAM), YAlO3(YAP) and Y3Al5O12(YAG) in the temperature range of 1000-1500oC. Single phase of YAG wasrevealed from 1300oC. In order to find out the effect of BaF2 flux, three modeling experiments between starting materials(1.5Al2O3−2.5Y2O3, Y2O3−BaF2, and Al2O3−BaF2) were done. These modeling experiments showed that the nucleationprocess occurs via the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, whereas the grain growth process is controlled via the liquid-phasediffusion route. YAG:Ce phosphor particles prepared using a proposed technique exhibit a spherical shape, high crystallinity,and an emission intensity. According to the experimental results conducted in this investigation, 5% of BaF2 was the bestconcentration for physical, chemical and optical properties of Y3Al5O12:Ce3+(YAG:Ce) that is approximately 10-15% greaterthan that of commercial phosphor powder.

The usual ceramic process of mixing and milling in state of oxides ZrO2 and CeO2 was adopted in this study in a wet process to manufacture Ce-TZP. CeO2-ZrO2 ceramics containing 8~20 mol% CeO2 were made by heat treatment at 1250~1500˚C for 5hr. The maximum dispersion point of every slurry manufactured with a mixture of ZrO2 and CeO2 was neat at pH10. A stable slurry with average particle size of 90 nm can be manufactured when it is dispersed with the use of ammonia water and polycarboxylic acid ammonium. The sintered Ce-TZP ceramics manufactured with the addition of CeO2 in a concentration of less than 10 mol% progressed to the fracture of the specimen due to the existence of a monoclinic phase of more than 30% at room temperature. More than 99% of the tetragonal phase was created for the sintered body with the addition of CeO2 beyond 18 mol%, but the degradation of the mechanical properties on the entire specimen was brought about due to the CeO2 existing in a percentage above 3%. Consequently, the optimal Ce-TZP level combined in the oxide state was identified to be 16 mol% of CeO2 contents.
