This development could be a game-changer for lighting worldwide, given that current power consumption for lighting accounts for 16% of the total electricity consumption in Japan.展开更多

Capitata f. alba) leaves. Photochemical efficiency of photosystem Ⅱ (PS Ⅱ) was studied by a pulse amplitude modulated chlorophyll fluorescence apparatus, chlorophyll concentration was analysis spectrophotometrically and xanthophyll cycle pigments were estimated by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Leaf senescence was accompanied with a decrease both in chlorophylls concentration, the photochemical efficiency and rate constant for PS Ⅱ photochemistry whereas non-photochemical parameters increased. Excitation pressure (1-qP) which is a measure of relative lumen acidification increased by 1.2x in aging leaves. The maximum quantum yield of PS Ⅱ showed no significant change. The level of de-epoxidised xanthophylls increased but the concentration of mono- and di-epoxy xanthophylls decreased in aging leaves. A linear relationship between the excitation pressure and the depoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle pigments and lutein, during the onset of senescence suggests that excitation pressure can be used as a sensor for monitoring the onset of senescence as well for the de-epoxidation state of the xanthophylls responsible for non-photochemical quenching in stressed leaves.展开更多

The photoluminescence results show that all samples can be excited efficiently by UV (396 nm) light and blue (466 nm) light and emit red (615 nm) light with line spectra, which are coupled well with the characteristic emission from UV-LED and blue LED, respectively. The experimental results and their analysis suggest that the energy transfer occurs due to dipole-dipole interactions among Eu3+ ions in LiKGd2-xEux(MoO4)4. Compared with Cao.8MoO4: Eu0.2^3-, the emission intensity of LiKGdo.9(MoO4)4: Eu1.1^3- is about 1.4 times higher and the CIE chromaticity coordinates are as close to the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard values as those of Cao.8MoO4: Eu0.2^3-. The optical properties suggest that LiKGdo.9(MoO4)4: Eu1.1^3- is an efficient red-emitting phosphor for white LEDs applications.展开更多

The phase structure and luminescence propertied of the phosphor were investigated usingX-ray diffraction (XRD) and a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The excitation spectrum exhibited a broad band between 230nm and 400 nm and the emission peaking at about 470 nm was observed, which originated from the allowed f-d transition ofEu2+ions at Ba2+sites. Owing to the different optimal concentrations under different excitation wavelengths (254 nm and 365nm), the energy-transfer mechanism in this phosphor has changed from the dipole-dipole interaction to the exchange interac-tion of Eu2+ions.展开更多
