Synthesis and luminescent properties of Ce3+-doped SrAlSi4N7 yellow-emitting phosphor
are reported. In comparison with YAG: Ce3+, the phosphor exhibits smaller thermal …

The design and fabrication of a simple low-cost laboratory apparatus used to test
triboluminescent properties of materials is reported. This unique experimental system …

We report the preparation of transparent Ce and Tb co-doped Y 3 Al 5 O 12 single crystal by
the Czochralski method. The characterization of the resulting single crystal was …

Preliminary research has shown that triboluminescent (TL) phosphors show promise for use
as the active element in impact sensors. For ZnS: Mn, preliminary results indicate that impact …
