The phosphor was characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, particle size analyzer and fluorescence spectrometer. The single phase of GdNbO4：Eu3＋,Bi3＋ was obtained at 1150~C and the average particle diameter was about 2.30 μm. Excitation and emission spectra reveal that the phosphor can be ef- ficiently excited by ultraviolet （UV） light （394 nm） and emit the strong red light of 612 nm due to the Eu3＋ transition of SD0~TF2. The opti- mum content of Eu3＋ doped in the phosphor GdNbOn：Eu3＋ is 20mo1%. The phosphor Gdo.80NbO4：0.20Eu3＋,0.03Bi3＋ shows much stronger photoluminescence intensity and better chromaticity coordinates （x=0.642, 0.352） than GdNbO4：Eu3＋. It is confirmed that Gdo.80NbO4：0.20Eu3＋,0.03Bi3＋ is a potential candidate for near-UV chip-based white light emitting diodes.展开更多

The corrosion behavior was evaluated using weight-loss measurement, hydrogen evolution, electrochemical and pH measurements, The results demonstrate that the microstructure for both ZMT614-1,5Nd alloy and ZMT614-0.5Y alloy is characterized by α-Mg and intermetallic compounds, most of which are distributed along the grain boundaries. These second phases contain Mg2Zn, Mg2Zn11, Mg2Sn and single metal Mn, together with Mg12Nd phase for the ZMT614-1.5Nd alloy, and with Mg24Y5 phase for the ZMT614-0.5Y alloy. Honeycomb-like corrosion product layers form. The corrosion resistance of the ZMT614-0.5Y alloy is higher than that of the ZMT614-1.5Nd alloy, which is ascribed to the addition of the element Y into the alloy delaying the corrosion initiation in comparison to that of Nd element in the alloy.展开更多
