Lanthanide Doped Aluminate Phosphors: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications overviews advances in research on aluminate-based long persistent phosphors and their applications in lighting, display, radiation dosimetry and imaging. The book reviews the most important categories of rare earth aluminate-based phosphors, including aluminosilicates and aluminoborates. This category of material is attractive for a wide range of applications because of their high quantum efficiency, long afterglow life, chemical stability and optical properties, which is discussed throughout. Optical properties, in particular, are emphasized in the book along with the relationship of the chemical composition and doping of these materials and their optical performance.
This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners working in academia and research and development in industry in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics.
- Introduces rare-earth doped aluminates synthesis and characterization strategies, properties and applications
- Focuses on different types of aluminates, such as monoaluminates, binary aluminates and hexaaluminates, aluminoborates and aluminosilicate systems
- Discusses optical properties of phosphors, including photoluminescent long persistence and thermo luminescence
