Studies on electroluminescence using Powder and thin film devices

The subject of electroluminescence has currently acquired great importance because of its potential applications in display systems of a wide variety. A large number of scientists working in commercial, governmental as well as academic institutions all over the world are at present engaged in the intense effort to develop new and efficient phosphor materials and electroluminescent devices. This thesis presents the work carried out by the author in this field during the past few years. The studies discussed in this thesis are mostly confined to the development of some new phosphor materials, their uses in powder and thin film electroluminescent devices and to their electrical and spectral characteristics. Care has been taken to bring' out the physics involved in all the above aspects of the phenomenon
