Luminescent Ceramics: Fundamentals, Properties, Processing and Applications

Luminescent Ceramics: Fundamentals, Properties, Processing and Applications provides a detailed review of luminescent ceramic materials for lighting, dosimetry and security. The book's chapters cover oxide, nitride and fluoride phosphors, garnet transparent ceramics, oxynitride and BeO ceramics, doped MgO nanophosphors and doped MgAl2O4 ceramics for dosimetry and novel thermo-luminescent ceramics for light emitting devices and security applications. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the unique possibilities offered by ceramic materials in the field of light emission and applications. It will be an essential reference resource for any ceramist working in the area of luminescent materials. Luminescent ceramics have become attractive candidates for the development of modern light sources. These ceramics can be used in LEDs, displays and scintillators. Luminescent ceramics can be classified depending on their functionalities. Phosphors are used in a variety of display applications, such as electroluminescent, photoluminescent, plasma and field emission displays, LCDs, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), X-ray detectors, and LEDs. Provides an extensive overview of recent research progress on luminescent ceramic materials and their application in lighting, display, dosimetry and ceramic lasers Covers fundamentals, synthesis, characterization, properties, production, processing and applications Gives a list of requirements for the materials used for each energy technology Presents an evaluation and comparison of the choice of materials available, including structure/properties/performance Identifies gaps/potential for improvement in the field of luminescent ceramics INDICE: 1.
