  • Patent number: 11926775
    Abstract: This specification discloses methods of enhancing the stability and performance of Eu2+ doped narrow band red emitting phosphors. In one embodiment the resulting phosphor compositions are characterized by crystallizing in ordered structure variants of the UCr4C4 crystal structure type and having a composition of AE1?xLi3?2yAl1+y?zSizO4?4y?zN4y+z:Eux (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba, or a combination thereof, 0<x<0.04, 0?y<1, 0<z<0.05, y+z?1). It is believed that the formal substitution (Al,O)+ by (Si,N)+ reduces the concentration of unwanted Eu3+ and thus enhances properties of the phosphor such as stability and conversion efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11926777
    Abstract: A scintillation compound can include a rare earth element that is in a divalent (RE2+) or a tetravalent state (RE4+). The scintillation compound can include another element to allow for better change balance. The other element may be a principal constituent of the scintillation compound or may be a dopant or a co-dopant. In an embodiment, a metal element in a trivalent state (M3+) may be replaced by RE4+ and a metal element in a divalent state (M2+). In another embodiment, M3+ may be replaced by RE2+ and M4+. In a further embodiment, M2+ may be replaced by a RE3+ and a metal element in a monovalent state (M1+). The metal element used for electronic charge balance may have a single valance state, rather than a plurality of valence states, to help reduce the likelihood that the valance state would change during formation of the scintillation compound.
