Abstract

Fabrication of zinc-silicate luminophores by a new nontraditional method was examined. A wide range of gel compositions (40–95% ZnO) was investigated. Zinc-containing raw material was selected and it was shown that zinc nitrate is optimum. The thermal properties and crystallizability of the gels and the photo- and cathode-luminescent properties of final materials fabricated by two different methods were investigated. The experiments demonstrated a number of advantages of the sol-gel method: reduced power consumption, simplification of the technological scheme, improvement in the properties of the products, the possibility of obtaining different properties by altering the parameters in the different stages of fabrication.
