Abstract

A luminescent material consisting of an aluminium silicate composition of molar ratio alumina (Al2O3) to silica (SiO2) in the range 1:1 to 1:6 activated by Eu (generally present in the lower valency state) is excited by U.V. radiation of long and short wavelength, cathode rays and X-rays. Tb and/or Mn, and/or alkali metals may be added to modify colour and brightness. (Caesium gives little or no improvement). A large number of concentrations are disclosed including alumina to silica ratio preferably 1:1.5 to 1:3 with no alkali metal present, 1:2.5 to 1:3.5 with alkali metal for optimum brightness but 1:3.5 to 1:4 for best temperature characteristics; alkali atoms to Al2O3 mols in ratio \sO 1:1 (e.g. 0.8:1) preferably 0.1:1 to 0.2:1; Eu from a trace to 20% preferably \sO 10% by wt. for best temperature characteristics (e.g. 3-4%); Tb may be present in same amount as Eu or in excess to a weight ratio 8:1 provided Eu and Tb content does not exceed 20% by wt., preferably 10% while Mn may be from a trace to 2.5% by wt.; (all per cent are by wt. of starting materials). In the preparation a mixture of starting compounds, preferably an aluminium salt is decomposed by heat to give aluminium nitrate, silica, europium oxide, optionally an oxide or carbonate of Tb and/or Mn and/or chloride or carbonate of an alkali metal, is heated in a reducing atmosphere preferably at at least 950 DEG C. (e.g. 1100 DEG C.) if alkali metal is present, otherwise at least 1050 DEG C. preferably 1150 DEG to 1250 DEG C. In eight examples, materials used include Na, Tb, Mn, K, Li, Rb. Excitation frequencies of 3000<\>rA, 3650<\>rA, 2537<\>rA are instanced. Incorporation in high and low pressure mercury lamps, C.R.Ts and X-ray screens is mentioned. Over the whole alumina: silica range specified, the matrices consist of a mullite type crystalline phase of composition in the range 3Al2O3.2SiO2 to 2Al2O3.1SiO2 with a second phase of free silica in crystalline or vitreous form.
