Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Using solid-state reactions and a combination of carbothermal reduction-nitridation with solgel processing, we have synthesized a number of oxynitride phases: Eu2+-doped Ca-sialons. We have measured the pulsed cathodoluminescence spectra of the synthesized powders under pulsed electron beam excitation and determined their emission parameters, including temporal emission characteristics.
