摘要:
The present invention relates to a zinc sulphide phosphor and to a process for producing same. The invention further relates to a security document or document of value, to a security feature and to a method for detecting same. The phosphor according to the invention can act as electroluminescent phosphor and thus be excited by an electrical field, and this can result in emission of electroluminescent light in the blue and/or green colour region of the visible spectrum. The phosphor can moreover be excited by UV radiation in the wavelength range from 345 nm to 370 nm, and can thus emit photoluminescent light in the blue colour region of the visible spectrum. The phosphor can moreover be excited by UV radiation in the wavelength range from 310 nm to 335 nm, and can thus emit photoluminescent light in the green colour region of the visible spectrum.

The invention relates to a luminescent substance consisting of a doped host lattice which absorbs at least one part of exciting radiation whet it is excited by a high-energy exciting radiation, thereby releasing an energy-poor emission radiation. According to said invention the host lattice is embodied in the form of a carbidonitridosilicate-based compound. An illuminant which is used for producing white light and comprises a light emitting element and said luminescent substance are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a rare-earth doped alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor of a stoichiometric composition. Said method comprising the step of selecting one or more compounds each comprising at least one element of the group comprising the rare-earth elements (RE), the alkaline-earth elements (AE), silicon (Si) and nitrogen (N) and together comprising the necessary elements to form the rare-earth doped alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor (AE2Si5N8:RE). The method further comprises the step of bringing the compounds at an elevated temperature in reaction for forming the rare-earth doped alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor (AE2Si5N8:RE). In such a method normally a small amount of oxygen, whether intentionally or not-intentionally added, will be incorporated in the rare-earth doped alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor (AE2Si5N8:RE). According to the invention the creation of defects by formation of a non-stoichiometric oxygen containing phosphor is at least partly prevented by partly substituting for the ions (AE, Si, N) of the alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor (AE2Si5N8:RE) suitable further elements of the periodic system by which vacancies are created, filled or annihilated resulting in the formation of a modified alkaline-earth silicon nitride phosphor (AE2Si5N8:RE) having a stoichiometric composition. In this way a modified phosphor is obtained having excellent and stable optical properties. The invention further relates to a modified phosphor obtainable by the above-mentioned method and a radiation converting device comprising such a phosphor.

The present invention relates to alkaline earth metal silicate luminophores having improved long-term stability and to a corresponding method for improving the long-term stability of alkaline earth metal silicate luminophores. The luminophore according to the invention is a luminophore comprising a base lattice according to the general chemical formula EA x Si y O z , where x, y, z > 0. The component EA is formed by one or more alkaline earth metals. An activator, for example Eu 2+ or Mn 2+ , is doped into the base lattice. The luminophore has the fundamental property to absorb radiation in a first wavelength range and emit radiation in a second wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range. The luminophore is designed in the form of crystals. According to the invention, the surfaces of the crystals of the luminophore are chemically modified such that at least portions of the surfaces thereof are formed by a chemical compound of the general formula Ea u Z 2 . The component Z is formed by anions, which can be chemically combined with the EA cations of the luminophore. The variable u is equal to an ion charge of the anions Z. The chemical modification is therefore not a coating.
