ABSTRACT:
A novel epitaxial phosphor having high luminosity at about 540 nm has the composition (Y.sub.3-x-y Tb.sub.x RE.sub.y)(Al.sub.5-w Ga.sub.w)O.sub.12, with RE being one (or more) 4f-type rare earth(s) other than Tb, 0.09<x<0.7, and 1.5<w<2.5. In preferred embodiments, RE is Lu, Yb, or Tm, 0.1<x<0.3, and 1.8<w<2.2. In further preferred embodiments, the phosphor composition is adjusted to yield a material having a lattice constant within 0.002 nm of the lattice constant of the substrate, typically Y.sub.3 Al.sub.5 O.sub.12. The phosphor is typically grown by liquid phase epitaxy and has application in a variety of apparatus, including avionic displays and flight simulators.
