Eu3+ activated Ca4Yt(SiO4)60 phosphors were prepared by combustion synthesis method, and their morphologies and lu- minescent properties were investigated. Field scanning electron microscopy (FSEM) confirmed that the crystallite sizes of nanoparti- cles with narrow diameter ranging from 30 to 60 rim. The excitation spectra of CaaY6(SiO4)60:Etl3+ showed that there existed two strong excitation bands at around 399 nm (TFo----~SL6) and 469 nm (TF0---*SD2), which were consistent with the output wavelengths of near-UV and blue LEDs, respectively. The emission spectra of Ca4Y6(SiO4)60:Eu3+ were dominant by a red peak located at 614 nm due to the 5Do→7TF2 transition of Eu3+. With the increase of Eu3+concentration, the luminescence intensity of the red phosphor reached maximum and then decreased. The optimum concentration for Eug+in Ca4Y6(SiO4)60 was 21 mol.%.
ZnO/Ag nanowires (NWs) film ultraviolet (UV) detector was fabricated by a simple and low-cost solution-processed method. In order to prepare this device, Ag NWs network was first spin-coated on glass sub- strate as a transparent conducting electrode, then ZnO NWs arrays were grown vertically on the Ag NWs network based on the hydrothermal method. This UV detector exhibited an excellent detection performance with large on/off ratio and short response time. Several process and working parameters were particularly investigated to analyze the relationship between structure and performance, which include growth time of ZnO NWs array, spin speed of Ag NWs network and working temperature. This UV photoconductive detector is based on two kinds of one-dimension nanomaterials, and it was regarded as a compromise between high performance with large area, low voltage and low cost.
