Abstract:
A method of synthesizing LiFePO4 compounds and analogs thereof for use in secondary electrodes involves mixing the starting materials and polymerizing the mixture into a gel. The gel form allows thorough milling and mixing of the reagents and results in a smaller and more uniform particle size in the resultant electrode formed and a well crystallized structure based on the X-ray diffraction pattern.

Abstract:
A semiconductor color image sensor comprises: an array of semiconductor photo-sensors (CMOS or CCD) and a color filter array comprising an array of red, green and blue filter elements in which each filter element is associated with a respective one of the photo-sensors. The sensor further comprises a phosphor (photo-luminescent) material associated with each of the blue filter elements and configured to absorb blue light and re-emit light of a longer wavelength range which is then incident on the photo-sensor associated with the blue filter element. Preferably the phosphor material is selected such that light of the longer wavelength range substantially matches the spectral response of the photo-sensor. The image sensor can further comprise an array of micro-lenses for focusing light onto the photo-sensors of the image sensor, wherein each micro-lens is associated with a respective one of the photo-sensors.
Abstract:
This invention provides novel cadmium tungstate scintillator materials that show improved radiation hardness. In particular, it was discovered that doping of cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) with trivalent metal ions or monovalent metal ions is particularly effective in improving radiation hardness of the scintillator material.
Abstract:
Novel green phosphors are disclosed having the comprise silicate-based compounds having the formula (Sr,A1)x(Si,A2)(O,A3)2+x:Eu2+, where A1 is at least one divalent cation (a 2+ ion) including Mg, Ca, Ba, or Zn, or a combination of 1+ and 3+ cations; A2 is a 3+, 4+, or 5+ cation, including at least one of B, Al, Ga, C, Ge, N, and P; A3 is a 1−, 2−, or 3− anion, including F, Cl, Br, and S; and x is any value between 1.5 and 2.5, both inclusive. The formula is written to indicate that the A1 cation replaces Sr; the A2 cation replaces Si, and the A3 anion replaces O. These green phosphors are configured to emit visible light having a peak emission wavelength greater than about 480 nm. They have applications in green illumination systems, red-green-blue backlighting systems, white LEDs, and plasma display panels (PDPs).

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are cerium doped, garnet phosphors emitting in the yellow region of the spectrum, and having the general formula (Y,A)3(Al,B)5(O,C)12:Ce3+, where A is Tb, Gd, Sm, La, Sr, Ba, Ca, and/or Mg, and substitutes for Y, B is Si, Ge, B, P, and/or Ga, and substitutes for Al, and C is F, Cl, N, and/or S, where C substitutes for O. Relative to a solid-state-reaction method, the instant co-precipitation methods provide a more homogeneous mixing environment to enhance the distribution of the Ce3+ activator in the YAG matrix. Such a uniform distribution has the benefit of an increased emission intensity. The primary particle size of the as-prepared phosphor is about 200 nm, with a narrow distribution.
