Borate Phosphors

<p>Borate-based phosphors have attracted much attention due to their high optical stability low-cost synthesis via conventional and non-conventional methods and resulting technology to be environmentally friendly. This book discusses the structural and chemical parameters of borates as a phosphor including suitable synthesis methods and proper characterization of materials. Further it includes applications of borate materials such as photoluminescence UV application UVU application photo therapy application and radiological applications. </p><p>Features:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Provides information on borate phosphors and their structure.</li> <p> </p> <li>Aids selection of proper structural and functional borates used in applications based on phosphor technology.</li> <p> </p> <li>Discloses the modification in properties of borate functional group upon mixing or substitution with other metallic functional groups.</li> <p> </p> <li>Discusses biological applications such as photo-thermal heating-based therapy temperature sensors imaging and diagnosis.</li> <p> </p> <li>Includes current trends and innovations limitations and challenges prospects and scope in each chapter.</li> </ul><p>This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in inorganic materials luminescent/optical materials materials science/engineering and physics.</p>
