Abstract

The effect of zinc powder addition on the microstructural evolution of fine Zn0.22Cd0.78S:Ag$, Cl phosphor particles was investigated in relation to the luminescent property of phosphors. The phosphor microstructures were analyzed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) using the ultramicrotome technique for specimen preparation. The phosphor baking process at 480 °C for 30 min in air results in significant damage to the surface structure of the phosphors due to the decomposition and oxidation of the phosphor itself. The addition of zinc metal powders into the Zn0.22Cd0.78S$ phosphors suppresses the oxidization and decomposition of phosphors by oxidizing zinc metal during the baking process in air. The oxidation of the zinc powders during baking provides the baking furnace with less oxidizing atmosphere for phosphor particles. The structure of phosphors, especially at the surface region, is much less degraded compared to the phosphors baked with no zinc metal addition. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers
