摘要:
There is provided a long-lasting phosphor having a base crystal of {dot over (a)}kermanite crystal structure consisting of R′ (where R′ is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr and Ba), Mg, Si, O and N and comprising Eu as an activator and one or more co-activators such as Dy. The long-lasting phosphor is produced by sintering materials including strontium nitrate to grow the base crystal of {dot over (a)}kermanite crystal structure, or by changing a solution containing constituent elements or material in the state of suspension into fine particles of liquid by atomization and thereafter heating the fine particles of liquid in a gas stream under oxidating, neutral or reducing atmosphere. The new Mohs' scale of hardness of the long-lasting phosphor is less than 1. Phosphorescence brightness of the long-lasting phosphor 2 minutes after stoppage of irradiation of illuminance of 1000 lux for 30 minutes with a white fluorescent lamp is 200 mCd/m2 or over.
摘要:
A process for preparing a water resistant luminous pigment with durability, characterized in that a luminous pigment, in which an oxide matrix comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn and at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Al, P and Ga is doped with at least one rare-earth metal element, is allowed to an acid treatment under the condition of pH of not more than 3 using at least one acidic compound selected from the group consisting of acids and acid generating compounds, and is subsequently allowed to an alkaline treatment under the condition of pH 4-9 using at least one alkaline compound selected from the group consisting of alkalis and alkali generating compounds.
