  • Metal Oxide-Based Phosphors

    Properties and Applications
    • 1st Edition

    Metal Oxide-Based Phosphors: Properties and Applications focuses on the basic principles, experimental techniques, and various applications of luminescent materials derived from metal oxides. The book is divided into three parts, with Part One presenting the fundamentals of luminescent materials and experimental methods, including different synthesis and characterization techniques. Part Two provides strategies to enhance luminescence through various host matrices, constructing hybrid phosphors with polymeric materials, and doping with non-rare earth elements. Finally, Part Three explores recent developments of metal oxide-based phosphors in various applications, including photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, anti-counterfeiting, radiation dosimeters, and chemical sensors.Luminescent materials show enormous potential in a wide range of applications, such as solid-state lighting, energy, display imaging, and optical thermometry. Developing novel metal oxide-based phosphors and exploring green technologies and methods for the preparation of high-performance phosphor materials is therefore vital for a number of industries.

  • Solid State Electrochemistry and its Applications to Sensors and Electronic Devices

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 45
    • October 22, 2013
    • K.S. Goto
    • English
    Based on the author's lecture notes for a course on Physical Chemistry of Oxides at High Temperatures held at the Graduate School of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, this book examines the micromechanism of migration of ions and electronic defects contained in solid and liquid oxides at high temperature.The book is primarily designed for use as a graduate-level text and includes 150 problems for students. The emphasis is on introduction of simple theories for transport properties of oxides, which can be universally used at low and high temperatures, for various combinations of oxides.

  • Silicate Glasses and Melts

    Properties and Structure

    This book describes the structure-property-c... relationships for silicate glasses and melts of industrial and geological interest. From Antiquity to the 20th century, an introductory chapter presents this subject in a historical perspective. Basic concepts are then discussed in three chapters where attention is paid to the glass transition and its various consequences on melt and glass properties, to the structural and physical differences between amorphous and crystalline silicates, and to the mutual relationships between local order, energetics and physical properties. With pure SiO2 as a starting point, compositions of increasing chemical complexity are successively dealt with in a dozen chapters. The effects of network-modifying cations on structure and properties are first exemplified by alkali and alkaline earth elements. The specific influence of aluminum, iron, titanium, and phosphorus are then reviewed. With water, volatiles in the system COHS, noble gases, and halogens, the effects of volatile components are also described. The last chapter explains how the results obtained on simpler melts can be applied to chemically complex systems. In each chapter, physical and chemical properties are described first and followed by a review of glass and melt structure. When possible, pressure effects are also considered.
